okay maybe not -40F but still better then 0F in continental climates that have 80F+ summers

My hometown Orinda California is perfect. A semiarid Mediterranean climate, 4 seasons, never too hot or too cold, not too rainy, but still enough to keep everything green for 8 months or so.(We all know what CA looks like in the summer)

Guatemala City's climate is very good, but I prefer a cooler climate, for example the city of Manizales

This is probably the most consistent, mild climate I have ever seen.

Popayan has a climate warmer than Manizales.

I lived in San Diego for a year-and-a-half, and I thought it was quite humid. I was really surprised because I had always heard it was the perfect climate. Then again, it depends on where you are in San Diego as far as east and west is concerned. The temp and humidity change can be drastic from the coast (or about two miles from the coast, where it might be in the 70s) to inland San Diego, where it can be over 100 degrees. You can actually feel the temp change as you drive east or west. And confirming my claim about the humidity, the large tractor-trailer trucks that I use to drive would leave large puddles of condensation on the ground from the air conditioning if the trucks remained parked and running for even a relatively short period of time. When I saw those puddles, I knew I wasn't imagining the nasty humidity levels. But, of course, the humidity levels are not like the eastern U.S., but the humidity levels in San Diego can still be uncomfortable (at least they were for my weather preference).

It really depends on the conditions.

Am I doing physical work or heavy exercise outdoors? I'll probably want slightly cooler daytime temperatures than my ideal.

Am I relaxing and swimming on holiday? I'll probably want slightly warmer daytime temperatures than my ideal.

Are we talking about realistic day-today life ideal, or what the body wants, nude Adam and Eve in a temperature-controlled setting scenario?

Given how pasty I am, if we're doing the garden of Eden scenario, I'd either need one large fig leaf or Faroese sunshine totals.

It seems many people here want low humidity, but I find low humidity levels, while good for keeping cool, tend to make my skin chapped and my sinuses congested, where as warm, humid climates do wonders for both. Assuming the temperatures aren't too high, 80% to 90% humidity feels amazing.

Though I actually enjoy some seasonality, the most comfortable climates for me are the ''tierrra templada'' climates of Latin America and their equivalents in Africa and South Asia. Typically high humidity places that are warm, but rarely above 30C or below 18C for long. There are also some island climates moderated enough to fit this category too, as well as places at the warm end of cold-current influenced coastal deserts.

Here are some places that are close to being perfectly comfortable all year round, for me:

Scilly Isles, England; never too hot, never too cold, perfect for human habitation and agriculture.

That Manizales, Colombia, weather is as comfortable as it could be!!!

Its not my ideal climate cause i love variation and i love winter. But nobody can deny its comfortable. Highs in the low 20s and lows in the 10s, love it!! Plus, i bet than if its sunny, you can have the feel of a summer weather if its 22-25, and then nights really cool off to be 10-12, that is good!
