Which would you choose? A winter in Miami or a winter in L.A. WITHOUT central heating? (temperature, rainfall)

The arid climate in Los Angeles promises lots of sun and little humidity throughout the year. Average high temps run from the high 60s°F(15.6°C) in winter months to the low 80s°F (26.7°C) in summer. Rainstorms come through from November to March, dropping roughly 2-4 inches per month.
Oh snap, I'm sorry, discover ca is a much better meteorological source than TWC or NOAA.
ARID, please, you are a joke, posting an unreliable source saying LA has an arid climate then acting like you and discover ca are experts over official sources, just stop.
Region from downtown LA east to Norwalk south in bellflower and south gate and north into la puente all average 71 F highs in winter, check TWC if you don't beleive me.
I was born in Venice, CA. We definitely turned on the heat in the winters. I know this because I remember us kids drying wet shoes off by sitting them on top of the heaters. I also remember burning my feet on my grandmother's heater, which for some reason had the grate placed into the middle of the floor of a hallway.
What I remember most were the summers, where it could get 100˚ F or so during the day and then 65˚ F during the evening. I remember running around during the day in shorts, sweating like a mofo, only to put on a sweater later on because I was freezing. I mean, that is a near 40˚ F drop in temperature over the course of a few hours, which is significant. All summer long.
Whether one feels hot or cold is relative to where they live and what they are used to. Now when I go back home I get a chuckle out of seeing the many people bundled up in parkas, mittens, scarves, and beanies...and it is only 55˚ F outside
I remember from living in Minnesota that when it got to the tail end of winter and days were warming up to 35/40˚ F and how HOT that would feel. You would see many walking around outside in t-shirts or lite sweaters.
This is a tough decision, but I would go with LA. I was in Santa Monica on Thanksgiving and it was pretty perfect. I did spend a lot of February vacations in Sanibel Island, so I do appreciate Southern Florida.
I'd never want to see Miami.....
regardless of what season it is lol
I want classy intelligent people around me
So between those 2 choices I'll take L.A.
Yes...because there are no classy and smart people in Miami, but everyone in LA is classy and intelligent...:roll eyes:
The fact is that there are dumb fakes in every city, and there are smart and classy people in every city. But it's your loss if you never want to see Miami.

I'm the joke? LOL you're the laughing stock of this entire forum! So much so that everyone posts about you before you even post on their weather threads!
We all KNOW that you're delusional and lying about LA's climate. You keep trying to pretend that it has the same climate as Tampa or Orlando in winter, when it's clearly a few degrees cooler. And the data you post is questionable, with several other sources countering it and arguing against it.

Minnesota winters are my worse nightmare but I actually prefer their summers to ours. I like warm rain and thunderstorms in summer and L.A's summers are way too dry. Last summer, we got a couple of warm thundershowers from the desert monsoon and I only wish we could get those a couple of times every week all summer rather than just once every 3-5 years.
I love our Orange County winters with highs in the mid to upper 60s. I admit to being a wimp and turning on the heater at night and on those overcast rainy days where it stays in the 50s or low 60s all day. I won't wear a parka, mittens, or scarf when it's 55 out but I will wear a jacket and if it's raining, I wear a sweatshirt and a raincoat over it. I would never relocate to a cold winter climate but I have considered Florida for the lower COL, lack of state tax, and the warm rain and thunderstorms in summer with sunny, pleasant winters.
I find it very amusing that you know find 35/40 F warm? Is it sunny and calm with no winds?
