You were made to be a colonial.

Unfortunately, you missed the boat by about 60 years.

Excellent list.

How ironic is it that the longest period of temps in the 70s out of all those places is in Miami. In almost every other city it averages 2-2.5 months. In Miami it is nearly 5 months.

Impressive.
Damn I want to move to California. It's January 3rd and I'm already tired of winter.

Well, 92 degrees/low humidity/moderate humidity is definitely much more pleasant than 92 degrees/high humidity.

If 33% of all people find 92 degrees/low humidity pleasant then 12% of all people probably like 92 degrees with high humidity.


Whenever the temperature is above 69 degrees, I definitely prefer low/moderate humidity instead of high humidity the majority of the time(70% of the time).

Even 75 degrees/cloudy/with extremely high 85-100% humidity for 6 days in a row and being in a crowded city can be very unpleasant/uncomfortable. New York City experienced that this past Early to mid September. July felt so much better than that Early to Mid September weather because of the lower humidity and sunnier conditions.


I usually find the 60s much more pleasant/comfortable than the 70s.

The 70s seems overrated in terms of being "pleasant/comfortable."

In SE Pa, I'd say September has the nicest weather. You finally get a break from the heat of August which continues all the way through. Its still warm but their are cooler breaks so you get a range of cooler 70s to very warm, upper 80s, neither lasting. By the end of September everythings green again from the rains and its still 70s warm. October is pretty nice too.
June is warm and everything is green but not generally too hot yet. So its consistantly good too.
I like warm weather even hot weather, but I don't like it when it gets to be a drought. July and August have been tending towards heat and dry spells.
The two crappiest months are February and March, IMO.

As far as the usual comfort level of around 72 degrees and not too humid or no precipitation, the months around summer (but not at the peak of summer) such as June and September are probably the best in that regard right over here.

I like July and August for the heat and January for the cold.

If April continues its current trend then it will be by far the most pleasant month of the year - April 2007 and April 2011 were just perfect.. temperatures in the high in the high teens/low twenties (high 60's / low 70's)

While a lot of spring, 2007 was more like high teens, high 20s and low 30s *in Fahrenheit!* with snow! You know that spring, 2007 was brutal when it's NOT in Celsius!

But, spring, 2011 wasn't too bad.
