This is so very true... Funny anecdote: whilst deciding where to pursue a PhD, the Univ. of Edinburgh website stated: "If you are deciding based on weather, don't come here."

The Scottish weather jokes are really tired at this point, I come from Manchester and when I lived in Edinburgh I got the "How do you like the Scottish weather?", but the weather in Edinburgh is pretty great compared to a lot of the UK, especially the western parts.

Also Iceland/Reykjavík in the top ranking makes me agree with you. I went to school with a girl from Iceland and she told me school was cancelled on days with nice weather in Iceland.

A location where every sunny day becomes an instant holiday shouldn't end up at the top of a list like that. Cool website and demo of R nonetheless I guess.
