Please explain why the place you chose is your favorite. I'd like to see answers from people living in all regions of the country to see how they compare!
Most of the ones around central-northern California. They have very wet winters and dry summers in the 32-34°C range with winters in the 9-12°C range which is perfect for me.
Pacific Northwest, SW WA. Warm summers but not humid or oppressively hot. Mild winters where you have the option to go visit snow at higher elevations on demand but it doesn't generally impact your commute. Average high in July 75, avg high in Feb 50. Average precipitation that is spread out as a drizzle rather than damaging storms. So about the very definition of temperate which is what I like.
Southern CA....pretty darn near perfect when I lived there. Low humidity, windows open, no AC, no bugs. Lowest in winter was 40's and it always warmed up during the day. Almost constant sunshine. Wished it wasn't quite as chilly at night; living near the cold Pacific, you ALWAYS needed a sweater at night...but still, not much to complain about.
More cloud cover. Cool, short summers, longer winters. Snow in the winter and longer twilights in both Winter and Summer.
