What is your idea of a perfect summer day? (climate, days, storms)

[Fiddlehead]

Growing up in the hot,dry summers of California, I became pretty acclimated. In my 20s, my perfect summer day had a high of 90 F (~32C), a low of 55 F (~12 C), with a nice afternoon breeze. Such days gave you the mildest, most pleasant evenings, but still cooled down enough for sleeping. Occasionally, we would get a late afternoon thunderstorm, which was just perfection.

A high of 90F and a low of 73F, partly cloudy with thunderstorms in late afternoon. Dewpoints in the low to mid 70s.

[Alkis]

Around 25 C highs and lows around 17 C with about 8 hours of sun in a day and thunderstorm

50 F (10 C) for a low and 72 F (22 C) for a high. Partly cloudy skies and a late thunderstorm in the afternoon.

High of 80 F, low of 60 F with dewpoint of 55-60 F...sunny with a few clouds and breezes from WSW of 10 mph. Thunderstorm only permissible at or after sunset.

Seems like folks like thunderstorms as much as I do. But in the western USA, they are actually fairly tame. Those heartland thunderstorms are something else. I would love to see one though. They must be a sight to behold, like a mountain rolling across the prairie.

73F, partly cloudy, gentle breeze, moderate humidity. An evening thunderstorm would be great as well.

I agree. We get plenty of thunderstorms here in FL (usually, this year has been **** in that category) but they're nothing compared to the storms from MO or KS or OK, etc. Would love to experience a storm out there.

High of 88-94, low 68-73, dew point in the 60s or low 70s, and a late afternoon thunderstorm.

Much like G8RCAT's. Mine and G8RCAT's summer preferences are pretty close.
