All those places are maritime Mediterranean climates as opposed to the inland extremes in Sacramento, Damascus, Athens etc. The Mediterranean doesn't have the cool current you have off Portugal /Morocco and California, therefore much hotter and more humid at the coasts in the summer. I've lived in London, York, Jerusalem, Boston, Troy NY, and Canberra. Obviously, the worst climate is Troy - the only place in Europe approaching such a climate is the far east of Ukraine and it's much drier there. Southern North Korea is the most similar in the world. The best of those climates is probably Canberra IMO - somewhere between London and Jerusalem. It'd be similar here to Reno or Santa Fe except it is much milder in the winter or like Portland OR but with less and more evenly distributed rain.
