Pros of the first scenario: Dry heat, crispy cool nights bringing relief to the hot day (no need to rely on aircons)
Cons: Hot days, nights might get too cool (high diurnal range isn't everybody's cup of tea)

Pros of the second scenario: Comfortably mild days with agreeable humidity (not too dry or humid)
Cons: Humidly warm nights, more insects

To note, both scenarios have dry conditions during the DAY.
Personally I love hot days and wrapping up in a blanket, cold at night =)

You don't get comfortably humid days and then humid nights. In a humid area, it's usually more humid during the heat of the day and more comfortable at night.

But I pick #2 - which at least where I live would be a hot humid day followed by a comfortable night.

I like dry heat, but I love summer nights that are warm enough to be comfortable in shorts and sandals. I don't want any chill in the air!

I'll take a hot day with a cool night. Would make for better sleeping conditions.

Number 1 it is. 55 F is perfect weather for starting the day refreshed.

Utter nonsense. You honestly expect people on a weather forum to buy that?

First one sounds great. I am a hot sleeper, so cold nights are just heaven-sent for me. One reason I always look forward to winter.

25-18 is better than 30-13.

No its not, I've had enough "sticky back" nights here in GA, and hate walking out into a smothering 85 F with high humidity after sunset.

A low of 64 F isn't really that bad for sleeping. That's the norm in CNJ. However, down here, that's a god send in summer (average low of 72 F ).

They're both as bad. With the first one, you have to endure a humid night (a sticky 18C would feel like 23C). With the second one, you have to endure a hot day. Hard to choose for me.
