First of all, I enjoy a nice winter with snow, and this doesn't have that.
But that's ok, it could still be a good climate. If I'm not getting any winter, then I want around 3000 or more hours of sunshine.... However, this doesn't quite have that.
So as far as summer temperatures, I look for around 30C/86F summer highs. I like to take a nice swim in the pool when it's around that temperature out there. 26C/79F is good but not ideal.
is the only thing about weather you find interesting is a large change in temperature? because there is so much more to weather than just temperature...
Obviously. But a bigger range in temperature will more than likely bring a larger range of weather conditions. I love snowstorms, thunderstorms, high winds, large swings in temperature, etc. A climate like Caracas wouldn't bring that. I don't get what's so hard for you to understand,

whats hard to understand is that you spend most of your time in a building with a constant temperature like Caracas. maybe if you start practicing what you preach, move to Nebraska and live in a tent for the rest of your life and tell me you have no regrets, then maybe i'll understand.
also, Caracas has tons of thunderstorms, and with the mountains i'm sure you could find high winds somewhere in the area...

You are an idiot. In that same token - why don't all heat lovers go move to the Sahara in mid-summer without AC?
And I DON'T spend most of my time "in a building with a constant temperature like Caracas". I'm outside the grand majority of the day. So way to make an assumption.
I don't have to be comfortable for me to enjoy the weather outside. I love battling the elements, that being said, that doesn't mean I want to spend the whole day outside in a driving, windy rain or in an F5 tornado or in a -80 F blizzard. I just enjoy experiencing different types of weather conditions, experiencing the same or similar weather everyday is extremely boring. Also, I don't really give a rats ass whether you understand or not, I just don't like being told what kind of I "should" like by some random moron on the internet.
You are going to have to grow up and accept the fact that some people don't prefer mild, comfortable weather. I take interest over comfort any day of the week. Not everybody prefers the same as you. So stop telling people what they should and shouldn't like.
I ironically voted the top response because this is a stupid thread. Obviously everyone has their own preferences and you can't force someone to like a specific climate. Grow up.

idk maybe they should if they enjoy sun burns and sand in their eyes.

that is because of modern technology, you decide what you want on your terms. when you get tired of bitter cold or blazing heat (which doesn't take long) you get the opportunity to go back into your own little Caracas.

look i want to have a discussion about it. i know the title and first post is silly and sort of gives the wrong impression but that was just to get attention. i'm not interested in imposing my totalitarian regime (though it would be nice), just to debate. if you don't want that you can leave.

This isn't a discussion though. This is people explaining why they don't like a climate and you keep telling them they're wrong. People's climatic preferences aren't a discussion, seeing as how everyone has their own tastes. I don't see why anyone has to explain to you why they dislike this climate. They dislike because it's not their preference. Period. Nothing to debate here. It does come across as you trying to convince everybody to think like you knowing damn well that isn't possible.

well that is how debates typically go, with reasons and points given on both sides until a compromise or consensus is reached.

why not? you can have your own tastes and still have a logical discussion backed by facts. so far half of the people here listed reasons that are flat out wrong for why they don't like this climate!! like "80°F with 80% humidity".
or that it isn't interesting because no thunderstorms? or they need high wind? both of which Caracas has.

why is it their preference? childhood memories? medical conditions? i'm interested in knowing why. every preference has logic behind it. because if you have a preference and you can't tell me WHY it is your preference, then you must not care about it very much and you probably shouldn't be here. but you gave your reasons which is fine. but don't say there is nothing to discuss. there is plenty to discuss and i think this is an interesting topic.

If you wanted a debate on people's climatic preferences, then you should have titled the thread that way, not by rating a city's climate you explaining "why" it should be my favorite too. All this comes across as a pure obsession for you to get people to like Caracas' climate. It's a bit silly to have a discussion backed by "facts" about someone's opinion over a city's climate that's why "Rate the Climate" threads are pointless, or should be done out of curiosity. You can't reach a "compromise" about somebody's climatic preferences. Not so you can tell someone they "should" like a city when they don't. As I said, no one should have to explain to you why they don't like Caracas' climate, they don't like it period. That's it. Maybe people don't feel like explaining their preference to you or find it pointless, that's why they don't explain it. Not because they don't care about it they just think it's pointless to discuss. It's an interesting topic for you because for whatever reason you're obsessed with making people like the same climates as you.
