Strange. I always saw Seattle as being on water, which I assumed to be the Pacific. I know that about the Bay Area. Miserable summer weather for sure.
It's on Puget Sound, an inland body of water. Have you ever looked at a map of the area before?
The only place miserable in the Bay Area for weather during summer are places directly on the Pacific Ocean and not many people live there with the exception of western SF. Most of the Bay Area is actually 70's, 80's and 90's all summer.
Anywhere in the Deep South, and the Southwest (excluding West Coast portions of the SW such as San Diego).
But those areas are equipped for the heat...to me the most unbearable summer cities are in the Northeast, with Chicago a close second. Those are where people die when the temperature gets into the 90s.

LOL what are you talking about? That is pretty rare and it's usually elderly people who die when the temperature is say 100 F out but not much does that happen.
Atlanta....sitting at Georgia Tech watching a baseball game was the most miserable heat I've ever experienced...no breeze, at least coastal Florida has a breeze most the time. I also remember Orlando being bad but I was young and at Disney so I guess the heat didn't affect me the way it did in Atlanta. I haven't been to Texas or NO in the summer but I've heard there pretty bad too.
San Antonio & Houston Texas. I was in San Antonio this past August and it was 104 degrees at 11 am WTH!! :O.... These are great cities but I would never even consider moving to the south because of the extreme hot weather. I'd rather be in a city with four distinct seasons. I dislike extreme hot temperatures. I heard Phoenix was even worse. My prayers go out to all those people that live in AZ and TX from April to October. Next time I'll try not to go down south during the summer.
As a very long time resident of Arizona, and having lived in Colorado I would say that you simply get used to the summer. Arizona, specifically Phoenix/Tucson corridor (where the majority of the state lives) is nice from Mid October until early May, but the only truly unbearable periods run from Late July until early September, but i've found that early mornings and as the sun sets are bearable for outdoor activities like walking the dog and what not.
Once you acclimate to this form of climate, I was recently in Denver where it was still hovering around 45 degrees during the day and late 20's at night, compared to a balmy 91 here in Tucson with nights hovering in the mid 70s. I'd take Tucson's weather in a heartbeat.
