Is it South Florida? Is it Southern California? Which area has the most balanced weather in America?

Hawaii has the least variation. Honolulu varies by about 9 degrees over the entire year.

Miami varies by about 15 degrees the entire year.

Downtown Los Angeles varies by about 17 F over the entire year.

So basically southern California and southern Florida vary approximately the same. Only difference is Miami is always 10-15 degrees warmer, on average, every month.

He said "not too hot, not too cold", Hawaii and Miami get really hot and humid so No thanks.

For the most pleasant weather, California by a landslide

The high temps in Monterey, CA only vary by about 10-15 degrees. Winter highs are usually in the mid 50s-low 60s, and summer highs tend to be upper 60s-low 70s. Crazy expensive though.

Just yesterday I was in Los Angeles and San Diego. I spent 5-6am on sunset cliffs in San Diego. My car said 55F and I needed a woolen trench coat, and was still a bit cold. I guess if you want to call that pleasant you can, however when I landed in Miami to nighttime temps in the 80s, and could lounge in my courtyard in 80s, in short sleeves, eating a gelato. Now that to me is pleasant

80s is too hot, especially when you tack on that ghastly humidity.

CA winters are worlds more pleasant than Miami summers-ick.

Maybe to a fat person, whose already built wearing a coat, i.e extra layers

But if I need to wear a coat, I don't consider the weather pleasant. What's pleasant to me is being warm, but not sweating.

Although Miami temps don't fluctuate too much, the dew points do. So in the summer, Miami is unbearable. Big difference in weather from summer to winter.

I go with San Diego for most balanced. Usually pleasant.

haha the irony of this^ bullsht is that in our world of comfort, a sauna like Miami would be absolutely unlivable without AC.

Actually human beings came from the tropics. Look at Africa, do they have AC? Look at where most plant and animal species thrive, in the tropics, not in sub-tropics, or mediterranean climates like California.

In reality, without heat, California would not be a very pleasant place to live. Whereas in Miami you can sleep outside and be fine (it's the house that traps heat and needs to be air conditioned).

Don't take my fat jab too personally, I don't know if you're fat or not
