everything is better than having 70 degree weather in winter, it sucks. i lived in south florida for 9 years and i think it's got some of the crappiest weather in the world.

The only kind of weather I can think is better than 70 F winter weather would be 85 F degree winter weather.

Yea, I second that~what CC said.

I actually would love warm/hot weather year-round, but I do sympathize with you, dxiw because it's not fun living in weather that you don't like.

Bingo!

I may be Nordic White in appearance yet I hate cold-------read that anything much below 60F.

That stated; I detest humid weather when the temp is above 80F and admittedly; despite the dry weather, 110F here in Arizona in the summer is hot.

By far my favorite climate in the continental USA would be SoCal near the beach.

trust me, try having christmas spitit when its 83 degrees outside with 90% humidity, it sucks. and it's the SAME weather all year long, june is barely any different from december, and 10 months of the year it can get to 90f or above(feb-nov), I would like to live in a place like minneosta where it's VERY cold in winter and can get hot in summer.

If it gets above 55 during the day and anything below 65 at night with a fairly dry climate I'd be happy. Obviously coastal CA has that but is anyplace close even close? Albuquerque? Sedona? Wilmington,NC? I can easily live in the front range near Denver..you get that for 8 months almost non stop though the other 4 can be brutal at times. If you thought SoFla was unbearably hot and humid back 5-10 years ago you should come now. I doubt I'll be able to go without the A/C on for more than 2-3 weeks this winter. Only a couple of nights so far that even dipped below 70 degrees.. We do have some of the best beaches only enhanced by the humid tropical year round weather..

I can empathize with that kind of humidity being a drag in winter.

However it would still be nice to me, because I have 25 years of memories where out of 25 summers, 20 of them had weather too cold to swim or wear shorts in JULY! By itself that does not sound bad, but we look forward to summer here as a break from the cold kicking our butts, or driving us nuts.

Some years we get 5 months of yucky cold, followed by 3-4 months of cool-to-warmish spring-like "summer" and then another 4-5 months of weather were you'd at least be insane to walk around in a t-shirt... Not good for most people who like temperate weather, with no strong aversion to heat and limited fondness for cold.

This discussion is similar to arguments on the best wine. Or is it whine about weather? Found my location, 2 hours south of San Diego, to be perfect for me.

Ensenada gets enough weather variety due to the ocean, marine layer("fog" everywhere else on planet), cool Jan-Mar(7C lows) and no need for a/c.

Mediterranean 70s all year round, not HOT not COLD just right, though the seattle native prefer 72F, the californian natives prefer 77F! Usually there is also a mid-level of humidity thus good for the skin but not bad for allergies. I'm surprised as most of Australian cities are Mediterranean, maybe you don't know how good you have it until its gone, give Siberia or Saudi Arabia a try.
