Humidity ruins every thing you would want to do in summer!That's why my son and I want to move from The Cleveland, Ohio area to San Diego,CA.
That sounds like a PERFECT climate to us,no snow/ice EVER, and doesn't get too hot,plus no humidity/mosquitoes. Can enjoy the outdoors year round and even summer evenings outside.
In Ohio the crap weather makes you a prisoner in your home! For heat in winter,and for AC in summer!

Jeez, Ohio is not all that bad actually. It has dew points in the upper 50's, which is quite comfortable.
Upper 50's = Perfect summer dew point for me. California is WAY TOO DRY.
All I know is since my dad was career Air Force,we lived all over the west/sw,until I married and ended up in Ohio,and I've hated this climate since the very first year of experiencing feeling like a 'slime-ball' because of humidity! There is no way in **ll that summers here are 'comfortable,except when we are in a drought,so either those numbers are bull.... or they are meaningless.
People know how they feel,and I don't know a soul who likes the humidity of Ohio summers,and doesn't complain they feel nasty!
I live in the lakeland area of Florida which is basically central Florida. Of course it gets hot usually ranges between 92 and 95 most days of the summer but the humidity in my experience is not all that bad. Its definitely worse along the coast. Most days in the summer I sit in my car at lunch time under a shady tree with the windows down and its quite comfortable. Definetly wouldn't try that in direct sun though. I lived most of my life on Long Island and found I sweated more there in the summer.
The down side is San Diego is often lacking in true warmth in the summer. I have heard from many friends who live on the California coast that summers are often quite cool compared to the Gulf and East Coast areas of the USA. Add in that the Pacific is freezing cold compared to the Gulf and Atlantic in summer and those dew points not be worth it if you like the beach.
This is true - for coastal San Diego (La Jolla, Mission Beach, etc.). But the city of San Diego is so large that it extends well inland, where the temperatures are warmer - generally, the I-15 corridor and everything east of it.
That's the beauty of the exceptional topographical and climatic diversity of southern California. A relatively short drive will lead to substantially different weather most of the time. The same is rarely true for most points east of the Rockies.
Probably most of the West Coast and the Desert Southwest.
