75 degrees is absolutely heaven. Anything warmer invokes sweat, which sucks. All sweat does is make people stinky and irritable. Anything below 75 can get a wee bit chilly, which kinda ruins it.
I voted for 75. Anything colder, and I need to put on a sweater (yes, really!). Any warmer, and my apartment starts heating up. I have a very shallow comfort zone, unfortunately. However, I also can't sleep if it's too warm. I like to bury myself in blankets with one foot sticking out for climate control. And I don't do humidity at all!
I'm going with the majority and am going to say 75, sunny and with a light breeze. Perfect. Tomorrow is supposed to be partly sunny, 72 and with a light breeze. I might just have to "be sick" for work.
I think I like the cooler weather. Cannot stand humidity. Where I live now is still too hot in the summer. Where (other than Anchorage) is it coolest? I don't mind rain, and would pick Seattle, but my husband doesn't like rain. I heard Monterey/Santa Cruz Calif is nice?
sunny
I'm with you, which is why I live in the Bay Area! (and voted for "65" as the perfect temp)
Monterey and Santa Cruz are both GREAT towns, and definitely have that mild/cool coastal weather... but they're also pretty expensive, as most of this area is.
How could it be anything but 68 to 72 degrees? In other words, what the vast majority of indoor thermostats are set at. There is a reason for setting the temperature in this range....that is where most people are the most comfortable without having to wear layers or take off clothes.
Actually, there is a great weather site (accuweather dot com) which has a patented weather formula that they call "RealFeel" which is a composite of everything that affects how warm or cold a person feels and measures the effects of temperature, humidity, wind speed, sunshine intensity, cloudiness, precipitation and elevation on the human body. Anyone can key in their zip code or town and bookmark the site. I check it numerous times during the day and have found it to be really useful. Many sites, or tv or radio stations will give a wind chill rating during the winter but that is really only part of the picture.
On days when it is, for instance, 80 degrees, but feels much warmer or colder, there are reasons or a combination of reasons for this. I am a weather "freak" so I find this information very interesting.
