> southern part of Croatia That's where I live. Summers get much too hot to be called mild, but it's the winters that are annoying as hell. Everyone pretends that the cold doesn't exist, so insulation is terrible and so is heating unless you want to pay through the nose for electricity every month. Seriously, winters were much better when I lived in the capital, which is continental and colder but has actual amenities to counter that. I did have an opportunity to spend a month in Los Angeles on two occasions (in winter and fall) and the weather was fantastic.

Exactly this: if your house / environment is well adjusted to the circumstances it makes a much bigger impact on the overall experience then the average temperature. Switzerland as in my example, is about as close to perfect as I have experienced. Yes we get snow in the winter, yes it get hotish (up to 38C.) in the summer, but the houses and streets and road services are all well capable of handling these fluctuations. EDIT: "In Bern, the summers are comfortable and wet, the winters are very cold, and it is partly cloudy year round. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from -4°C to 24°C (in freedoms: 26°F to 76°F) and is rarely below -10°C or above 30°C. (14°F or above 86°F)" From: https://weatherspark.com/y/56086/Average-Weather-in-Bern-Switzerland-Year-Round https://weatherspark.com/y/56086/Average-Weather-in-Bern-Swi...
