I hate the hot weather and I hate humidity even more. I'm looking to live in a place with the following climate and amenities:

No higher than 75* with low or no humidity

Winters can be as cold as they want to be

There should be reliable public transportation (I don't like driving)

Does anyone know of a place like this?

I also don't mind (actually LOVE) lots of stormy weather: slashing rain, thunder, lightning.


Portland Maine..... does it get hot there in the summer? I don't want anything over 75* with low or no humidity

Frankfurt.... I'm looking to stay in the USA

San Fransisco.... do they get lots of snow? (which I LOVE) and how cold does it get there? I LOVE the cold weather!

Summers in Portland, ME are a bit on the muggy side but nothing too bad, winters are cold with plentiful snowfall. Definitely an A-grade climate in my books. I presume they get stormy weather due to their coastal position, they probably get the remnants of hurricanes. Above your 75F criterion though, and I don't think public transport there is particularly good, but with a population of only 66,194, it's probably very walkable. I bet someone on the Maine forum could help you with that.

Portland, Maine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the US, you are really stretching your options with regards to mild summers (<75F average maximum), cold, snowy winters, with reliable public transport, as most of these locations will be quite small and isolated. Again, putting this question on some State forums such as Maine, Minnesota, New York, Michigan etc. may yield better answers.

There aren't really anyplaces in america by the looks of things that has an average high below 75. Even the 5000feet + places in Colorado.

Even Caribou has an average high of 76..

Possible options are Victoria, British Columbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia or Eureka, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia comes to mind.

Seattle has highs around 75°F in the summer and not a humid heat, but you'll get little snow and cold just cool drizzle.
