I found this on the internet:

Camelot Climate Index

claims to have quantified places with the best climate. The weights of the ranking may need a bit of refinement...San Francisco better than San Jose? All the East Coast almost the same? Maybe makes sense...you trade too hot for too cold.

"A THI value was calculated for each month using the average maximum temperature and the average afternoon relative humidity....

This threshold was chosen because statistically at least half of people feel uncomfortable with a THI greater than 75."

At least half of people feel a temp that feels 75F (23.9C)'s too hot?
That doesn't seem to jive with my intuitions. I think that's reasonably close to an ideal room temperature that not many people would complain.

This question is too subjective. Just ask Siberian High and Daneb78 what "best" means.
