The closest I can think of is San Francisco, I guess. Bring clothes that you can layer, and keep the layering pieces in your bag. There is nothing less pleasant than having to cut the evening short because you are uncomfortably cold.
We will be in the Basque country in early/mid July, Ysolde. Might it be cool (by New Orleans standards) as you describe at that time of year? This is going to be even more of a packing challenge than I expected!
