Manhattan doesn’t have bad weather at all. It’s pretty well rounded. Some days a little too hot and some days a little too cold but never heat as oppressive as Georgia or cold as frigid as Maine.

It's certainly not California in that regard. Winter may not be like Maine and Summer may not be like Houston, but August in Manhattan can get pretty unpleasant. There's a reason wealthy New Yorkers summer in the Hamptons. And, while it's warmer and less snowy than Boston or Chicago in the winter it definitely gets its significant snowstorms.

> but August in Manhattan can get pretty unpleasant

For me it's not even the heat that's the problem, it's the goddamn smell of hot garbage. At least the outer boroughs are better in that regard to Manhattan.

Yeah it's not just the temperature per se which wouldn't be so bad if you were out in a forest someplace. But the garbage, all the people, etc. that make a dense city pretty unpleasant when the mercury creeps up.

NYC doesn't have a bad climate. Every season is enjoyable except for early Spring when you are just sick of jackets and barren trees.

Summer can be gross in the middle of Manhattan due to the density and trash smells, but Brooklyn was just fine.

Snow is an issue if you live in the suburbs and need to drive everywhere, I'll grant you that.

Miami Beach and even Cancun are a short flight away.

> Snow

Ehhhhhh, about 15 minutes after the first snow you prep yourself for spending the next 5 months or so sloshing through giant deep puddles of pitch-black semi-frozen slush. Plus everything ends up with a fine dusting of road salt.

It wasn't like that the last two winters fortunately
