I'm looking to re-locate to a state that has a warm to hot climate (about 60-90 degrees or so) most of the year, with lower humidity. I don't mind cooler nights/winters, but I'd prefer somewhere that generally has nice weather for outdoor activities. I currently live in WI, and I am sick of the freezing weather and humidity!
I would also prefer somewhere that is known for friendly people, artistic communities, and lots of fun things to do outdoors. Being close to a beach or lake for swimming would be a good bonus too!! Also, a low cost of living would be nice. Tall order, huh? hehe!
So, if anyone knows of or lives in a state/city/area like this, let me know where, and why you like it! So far, I have been considering Texas, New Mexico and Tenesee.
I was thinking about California, but from what I've heard about the general attitude there, I'm not sure. I would prefer somwhere that is known for welcoming people, and more of a small-town attitude, if you know what i mean? Feel free to prove me wrong, though, becuase I do like the climate in CA and have relatives there. ^_^
Thanks in advance!!!
I just stumbled on this thread and wanted to know where you ended up. I live in Iowa, originally from Western Canada, and am so tired of the cold and humidity myself. I've been thinking about Texas, Arizona, Nevada. I just don't know. Can you offer any advice?

Stick to West Texas areas like Midland,Odessa,Abilene,San Angelo, and El Paso if you want mild winters with little humidity.Small towns in West Texas could work also.Most of Texas like DFWA,Houston,San Antone, and Austin is humid.The deserts in Arizona have milder winters than Texas but the summers are hotter than W.Texas there.

West Texas is ugly and barren. Arizona or Nevada is much better than West Texas.

Good point....Arizona may be too hot for the poster because i think in Phoenix the average summer high is well over 100 but its the mid-90's in much of West Texas.Nevada and Arizona is more barren than some parts of West Texas.The desert in New Mexico could work because its cooler than Arizona.

Most of TX is far hotter and more humid than anything in IA. Try El Paso for dry air and mild winters. In AZ you would like Prescott, as PHX will most likely be far too hot for you. Vegas is a bit cooler than PHX, but not by a huge margin, and its cooler in winter, with occasional light snow.

I agree that Prescott could work.
