I use the Köppen climate classification to find similar places. I live in a Csa (Mediterranean) climate. Two websites explain it quite well, http://physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/7v.html/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… There are still very large areas which appear to be the same, when in reality they are not, but there is no system I have found which is perfect. It is possible if you have an iPhone or iPad (not for Android) to use Wunderground to compare between individual weather stations, which is much more precise, but I haven't found anywhere that has done a project to link the many individual world locations which share the same weather and microclimate.
