I'd like to see correlation of climate preferences of forumers and cimates where they live.
My dream climate is not really different from my current location. I'd like more stable snowpack in winter and a bit longer and sunnier winters, and cooler summers, also I would like it to be wetter, but nothing really to complain.
Way different. Winter means about 88 F (49 C) colder and Summer is about 27 F (15 C) colder. Has way more snow, less sunshine and less annual precip (though still has around 1175 mm) and less thunderstorms (has 58 vs. 83 for here) and is located way further north in Latitude and higher elevation.
Very different. I want a hotter steamier summer, about 7C warmer than my climate. For winter, my climate is way too cold and snowy. I want a winter about 18C warmer with lots of rain.
I would like to have summer extended and clearly warmer. March in my dream climate is like April here, April like May and so on. Summer would extend into September and my dream climate's October is like September here, November like October and December like November.
The climate I'm living in now is as close to ideal as it's going to get. I do wish it was sunnier in summer (we get coastal fog) but honestly it's not that big of a deal. This winter has been drier and sunnier than I would like but the whole state is experiencing drier than normal conditions so it can't be helped. Hopefully next winter brings lots more rain.
Temperatures here are pretty much perfect all year round though. We broke some low temperature records the past week when we hit the mid 20s F at night, but normal for winter lows are high 30s to mid 40s F so it's not bad at all. It would get colder in the desert where I grew up (down in the teens sometimes) so I'm pretty happy here. Looking forward to 65-70 F summer temps!
I chose the third option, I like it for part of the year.
