OK, from my own training (quite a few years back) here goes:

average 8-10 knots across the rwy, 10.000 ft mountains, sea fog rolling in at a few moments' notice (or not being 'burned off' as planned), 40kn+ winds while practicing turns around a point in the desert, mountain tops obscured by cloud..... ATC friendly, but BUSY to put it mildy.

Where ? Los Angeles area. Last time I looked this was in California.

If you want pretty much anything that Mother Nature or ATC can throw at you, that's not a bad place to learn to fly. Except perhaps that constant drizzling UK rain that seems to make so many people on here miserable
