Right for me? (hot, recorded, earthquake, temperature)

Florida is the place for you.

Winter-40, of the top of my head.

Those places are probably too warm for the OP. Gisborne exceeds 25 C (77 F) on average 46 days per year, Hastings 50 and Napier 37. Hastings also has mean overnight lows below 40 F for two months of the year.

I might suggest Stephens Island which has an average high of 65 F in the warmest month and a low of 45 in the coldest month. It's uninhabited though.

My pick would be Mokohinau Island which, on average, has only 3 or 4 days a year over 25 C (77 F). Mean temperature in warmest month is 20.5 C (69 F), and in the coldest month is 13 C (55 F). Mean annual diurnal range is a mere 4 C (7 F). The coldest temperature in an average year is 6.5 C (44 F). And precipitation averages well under 1000 mm per year. It doesn't get much milder than that.

Unfortunately, it is also uninhabited (notice a trend here?). I still say South America is your best bet.

The funny thing is I thought about living in Canada until I lived in TN. I lived in FL almost all my life.

After re-reading your post it appears your criteria is nearly impossible to be met.

Life is reality, not fantasy.

OP here, Ok, let's up the the max temp to 80, and Florida is out, I was there in January, still way to hot, well humid really.

I was joking around,
but seriously, if you asked a thousand Torontonians if they would prefer to live in Florida instead probably 90% (definitely more than half) would say an emphatic "YES!"

Mother's Day 2010 would be a great example of WHY most of us would prefer to live in Florida.
High of 48 F with 20+mph steady winds... and the high wasn't reached until after 3 pm.
It was still 40 F, mostly-cloudy with brisk winds at 11 am!

Myself, I would rather live in a climate that generaly ranges between "comfy" and "bloody-hot." (just add ice to drinks )

Yes, but think of how mild it was over the past several weeks.
