When I visit my parents in FL, and it's 55-65 out, it feels colder than the same temp in CA and I see my breath. Yes, the humidity amplifies temperature. When there is water in the air at whatever the temperature the air happens to be, it can feel both colder and hotter.
When it's 70+ in FL, that's super ideal, and thankfully it's 70-75 degrees for much of January/February. That's like being in comfortable room temperature, with a little warmth from sun, outside.
But below that, in FL, it feels colder. And above that, in FL, it feels hotter. That's how humidity works. Lol
Right - that's because you're acclimated to extreme heat. If the OP moved to CA, 70 would be ideal (as I'm sure 70 already is to said person). Depending on where in CA, 80+ would be deemed "hot". This is the point. The rest of the country likes 70 degrees. Only in S FL, maybe Brownsville, TX, and Hawaii is 70 degrees "cold".
If OP moved to FL, because much of the year is not only above 70, but above 80 and even 90, AND humid, the OP would have to acclimate to that. And the OP will be working outside. See how it works?

That's no way to reason, I can easily flip it and say you find 70 ideal warm because you're acclimated to colder weather.
For me an ideal day is when I can be outside in shorts, flip flops and a t-shirt. Maybe head to the beach, or lounge outside and eat.
For someone who prefers 70, that's not going to be their wardrobe. They will most likely have jeans, shoes and a t-shirt if not even long sleeves.
I guess I don't like clothes as much as you do, but that goes for most of Miami as well. And the tourists who come down here. When it's in the low 70s, the tourists don't much like the beach, when it's 80s it's packed.

I don't understand how anyone who has lived in San Diego can say that.
Jeans, shoes and long sleeve tshirt in 70? And not just as an option but out of some kind of necessity??? Unless part of some kind of dress code, why? Jeans and shoes are fine but so are shorts and sandals. You seem really out of touch or something. I say or something because we are talking about weather which is a very peculiar thing to be out of touch about in this context so I don't even know what to call it.
Isn't one of the classic stereotypes people have about people out here is that all we wear are shorts and sandals, to work, etc?
Either way. So you're suggesting that basically for 8 months of the year people near the coast are in jeans and shoes?
I would say in San Diego when I lived there, most common outfit was a flatbill hat, long sleeves (usually flannel), shorts (usually light neon color), and Vans shoes.
I usually wore a t-shirt but had a hoody with me for basically 9-10 months of the year back in San Diego. 70 is not warm, just think 69. Does that sound warm?
