#AskFedi Still working on my #weather site for retro computers. One thing it&#39;s going to have is a roundup of current conditions for a selection of world cities. I want to have six per continent, spread out to give a good at-a-glance summary of global conditions. I picked these kinda semi-randomly. Any changes y&#39;all would suggest?

Getting to this point took a surprising amount of work, but I've got a *lot* of groundwork laid for later features!

@PurpleJillybeans The difference in weather between Glasgow and London is probably greater than that between Rome and Madrid, because of the Gulf Stream. And Paris has its own issues due to the effect of the Massif Central.

@PurpleJillybeans I'd suggest adding the Middle East and dividing Africa into North and Subsaharan. But other than that, it looks good.

@PurpleJillybeans It would need more Canadian cities. Vancouver is the hottest region in Canada but Toronto is vastly larger and colder. It's like saying all of the US is like Los Angeles but not New York.

@PurpleJillybeans Taking slightly offense not to see Paris in there tbh. But Moscow in Europe ? These days it could be interpreted in so many ways 😅

@PurpleJillybeans I would say swap Chicago out for Toronto.

@PurpleJillybeans Europe has a couple of clusters. London and Berlin in particular. I'd probably swap out London for somewhere further north, perhaps Stockholm or Helsinki? Also I'd swap out Moscow for Kyiv just out of spite, but that's just me.
