I woke up this morning and saw on my phone that it was 37 degrees. Absolutely freezing.

Not really looking forward to this upcoming weather.

We had too much heat this past summer/fall and now too much cold. I think this winter is colder than the 2012/2013 winter (last time it was 40s). 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 were pretty mild comparably - mostly in the 50s at night.

Bring back that handsome humidity we had in September!

The maximum/minimum temps in my back yard today:

55/32 degrees F.

I like 70s to 90s better!

Me too, as long as we can keep the humidity below 25%

Loved the humidity last summer; the handsome warm rain and balmy nights.
Give me 80 degrees with lots of sun with some big puffy clouds and a brief afternoon rain shower, followed by more sun.
None of this 50 degree cold overcast drizzle sunless crap.
I hate it that in California, we have to sacrifice warmth to get rain.
We need water to survive and we all take warm showers and not cold ones.
No rain is bad but when it rains, it's usually cooler than normal here.
Anything less than 60 is too cold.
75-90 is the ideal temperature range for humans.
A good combo of high rain and high sun and warmth is ideal for humans.
If you could snap your fingers and transform Southern California into a tropical Hawaii-like climate with warm ocean water year round (with the benefits of being on the mainland), would you do it?

That would be comfortable. Warm and relatively dry.

I can't stand humidity, so I'm going to have to disagree lol.

A temperature between 75 and 80 with a breeze and no humidity is perfect.

If it were a climate like Honolulu's then quite possibly yes since Honolulu does not get much more rain the LA, has very tolerable humidity for the tropics and gets as much or more sun than LA. The downside is we'd lose snowfall in the mountains (elevation is hot high enough).

A decent alternative would be the climate of Medellin, Colombia: at 5,000 feet above sea level in the tropics the climate is near perfect: average daily high is 81 and average daily low 62, all year round. Even the wealthy in Medellin don't have air conditioning, it is not needed. The only downside to the climate is lots of rain and not as much sun as LA.

Good morning. I survived last night, thanks to my safe, modern space heater.
