LA was hot as hell when I was there, unless you were within 10 miles of the ocean. It was up around 90 the entire week. Maybe that was a heatwave, but I kinda thought it wasn't too unusual for the downtown areas to the near south and then into the inland empire to get to 90 during the summer.
I would say Seattle, Boston, San Fran, New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, San Diego, coastal LA.

Well, that's what I'm talking about.
The weather along the coast of LA is not found anywhere outside the West Coast and definitely NOT in the East, which feels like a Sauna from Maine to Florida and from the Coast all the way to Iowa.
At least that's my experience. Its all TOO HOT and TOO WET.
But my complaints don't end with the East-the interior areas of the West from Sacramento to Colorado is an OVEN.
Just very picky when it comes to weather is all. No harm intended.

Inland can get hot, but to even Downtown LA is better than humidity-I can't stand mugginess.

Seattle is very close to SF in the summer, except the Bay Area seems sunnier(and SF isnt part of the poll).
Otherwise, I love NY and Chicago but their weather is not a strong point for me. In fact its a big minus(but then weather is a zero factor for me when it comes to living near NY-I mean the weather doesnt matter compared to all the pluses)
But you will forgive me as Im totally partial to the climate at the California Coast having been born and raised there-its what Im most used to and everywhere I go, I can't help but compare the weather.
