Houstonian here. I've long maintained that we have better weather than SFBA (where I was stationed, off and on, for five years) or even San Diego (where I also spent a good deal of time). That's because when Houston has a beautiful day like we're having today, we appreciate it, whereas Californians wouldn't even notice.

On that basis, there's any number of storm-swept islands or tropical hell-holes which would be even better.
