As an extreme example a place like Ketchikan, Alaska looks pretty good on that map but in December the days are 7 hours long and they get 300 mm of rain per month for 6 months straight (so imagine it's pouring and +5 outside, and you're on day #15 with about 7 hours of what looks like twilight and 17 hours of darkness). Most people would not like the climate there much.

It also averages 18C as a high at the height of summer.
