Maybe because we like dry environments and don't care for lush vegetation....Not everyone wants lush and green like you.
I understand that, but wouldn't you rather live in a naturally dry place than cause harm to an ecosystem that's not supposed to be dry? Naturally dry places are far more beautiful than drought-stricken areas that are supposed to be rainy. Brown vegetation that's supposed to be green looks ugly.
I don't get the point of criticizing someone because they want rain during a drought though. It's completely understandable, just like wanting dryness and sunshine after excessive rain is perfectly understandable.

Yes of course I'd rather live in a dry area but a temporary drought that dries things out without causing much harm wouldn't hurt if you liked dry landscapes and lived in a wet place.
I definitely agree on the second part. I don't get what's wrong with wanting some rain to help a drought.
Miami doesn't have extreme heat in winter, that would be a place like Bangkok or Merida
Miami doesn't have "extreme" heat at all. Unless you consider low 90's "extreme". What it does have is endless, muggy, useless heat We went 167 consecutive days without a low below 68F this year.

I came up with a different formula, what do you guys think? So you get the avg winter temp in F, get the avg sunshine hours in winter and then divide by 10, then add the two numbers and you get your final score.
Los Angeles
Avg temp = 58.18
Avg sun hrs = 222.4/10 = 22.24
Score = 80.42
My location's score is (20.83+12.54)=33.37. I know I have a lousy climate; don't need to shove it in my face!
And step over, Miami: my ideal climate's score is (71.33+24.33)=95.66
Either way, very simple but great system. It works very well and it's pretty accurate.

I agree. 82*F (28*C), partly cloudy, and a dew point of 50*F (10*C) is ideal.
