See full version: 5 Places Where The Weather Is 75 Degrees And Sunny All Year Long
Ojai, California, barely 30 miles east of Santa Barbara, experiences summer high temperatures that are often 15 degrees warmer (91 degrees vs. 76) because of a few similarly strategically placed mountain ranges in addition to a localized “marine effect”.
People always seem to fawn over the idea of “island living” envisioning it to include sunny, 80 degree walks along the beach every day. But in many cases from a weather standpoint, the ads don’t reflect climate reality. During the summer, the Bahamas are often stifling hot and swarming with insects and hurricanes. In the winter, northeast island hot spots like Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Hamptons on Long Island are virtually empty and bitterly frigid with no nearby land mass to block the wind. here
The Central Valley’s daily temperature year round averages between 72 and 75 degrees, with summer highs rarely cresting 85 degrees and winter lows hovering at a balmy 64. If there’s a downside to living or traveling here compared with some of the other destinations on this list it’s that there are two distinct “rainy” seasons in May and June and September and October. But rainforests don’t grow out of deserts so this is a small sacrifice that residents are happy to make every day.
Large game has been progressively eliminated in Morocco since Roman times, when lions and elephants were still abundant. Both have long since disappeared. Gazelles are still seen occasionally in the south, as are mouflons (wild sheep) and fennecs (a type of fox) in the Atlas region. With government protection, the Barbary macaque now flourishes in the forests of the Middle Atlas. However, the richest fauna in Morocco today is the bird life. Large migratory birds that sojourn in Morocco include the stork, which picturesquely builds its nests on city ramparts and mosque rooftops, and the flamingo, pelican, and cattle egret. here
In the lowlands near the coast, summer heat is reduced by cool onshore breezes. Average daily summer temperatures in the coastal cities range from 64 to 82 °F (18 to 28 °C). In the interior, however, daily highs frequently exceed 95 °F (35 °C). In late spring or summer, the sharqī (chergui)—a hot, dusty wind from the Sahara—can sweep over the mountains into the lowlands, even penetrating the coastal cities. Temperatures rise dramatically, often reaching 105 °F (41 °C). If crops have not been harvested, damage can be extensive from the desiccating effects of the sharqī. In winter the marine influence again moderates temperatures in the coastal regions. Average daily winter temperatures range from 46 to 63 °F (8 to 17 °C). Away from the coast, temperatures drop significantly, occasionally dipping below the freezing point.
Most of Morocco north of Western Sahara, particularly along the coasts, experiences a typical Mediterranean climate, with mild wet winters and hot dry summers. The rainy season generally extends from October to April. Torrential downpours occasionally produce devastating floods, but overall several factors act to reduce the country’s rainfall. Morocco is on the southern margins of the mid-latitude tract of frontal storm systems that regularly traverse the North Atlantic. As a result, rainfall levels are relatively low and gradually decrease from north to south. High-pressure ridges, moreover, periodically develop offshore during the rainy season, shifting storms to the north. Drought results when these ridges persist for extended periods. The cold Canary Current off the western shores also induces atmospheric stability and further decreases the potential for precipitation.
Morocco is composed mainly of Arabs and Imazighen or an admixture of the two. Sizable numbers of Imazighen live mainly in the country’s mountainous regions—long areas of refuge for them where they can preserve their language and culture. Some segments of the population are descendants of refugees from Spain who fled from the Reconquista, the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula in the 15th century. Trade and slavery brought a significant population of sub-Saharan Africans to Morocco, and their descendants now live chiefly in the southern oases and in the larger cities. Jews constituted a fairly large minority until the mid-20th century, when, in the aftermath of the foundation of Israel and the start of the Arab-Israeli conflict, many felt compelled to leave the country; most emigrated to Israel, Europe, and South and North America. here
Arabic, one of the national and official languages of Morocco, is spoken by two-thirds of the population, and Modern Standard Arabic is taught in schools. The Amazigh language, known as Tamazight, became an official language in 2011. Having been preserved in Amazigh enclaves, it is spoken by roughly one-third of the people. Many Imazighen also speak Arabic, and Tamazight is taught in schools. French is an important secondary language, and Spanish is widely spoken. English is increasingly used as well. [links]

Along the Rhône Valley a occasional strong, cold, dry, north-to-northwesterly wind blows known as the mistral. In July and August it's the peak of summer and many tourists from all over Europe invade France with caravans and tents.
France is divided into three climate zones. The majority of the country has a temperate maritime climate which means it is generally cold in winter, mild in summer and rainfall throughout the year. Mild winters and hot summers are usual along the Mediterranean sea (French riviera) and in the South West of France. The eastern part of this coastal area, the Cote D'Azur, is the sunniest part of France.
The French Alps, which are located in the southeast of France, have a high mountain climate. Relatively high rainfall, colder winters and relatively cool summers characterize this climate. Lots of snow falls in winter in the Mountainous regions like the Alps, Pyrenees and Auvergne.
