Santa Barbara is an exceptionally sunny city located in Southern California. It rises up to 640 feet above sea level. It is also enviably placed between 40 miles of coastline and a set of mountains. An annual 300 days of sunlight have helped the town to earn a reputation for beautiful weather. Santa Barbara's average temperature is 64 degrees, rarely going below 56 degrees or above 74. The city receives nary a winter ocean storm that sometimes haunts other California coastal towns.
Atlixico, a small Mexican town with a warm character, reputedly owns the world's best weather. It is situated in the shadow of a perilous volcano named Popocatepetl, a few miles north of Mexico City. The town is elevated 6,000 above sea level and benefits from an average temperature that rarely rises above the mid 80s Fahrenheit. Semitropical gardens and colonial architecture lend Atlixico further color. Tourism is not one of the city's strong suits, but the residents' inviting nature makes up for the lack of activity.

It has been said that the World Meteorological Organisation once deemed Faulconbridge, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Australia, the city with the world's best climate.

Standing nearly 1500 feet above sea level, Faulconbridge's weather is best described as cool and mild throughout the year.
