I am the type of person that dislikes warm and hot winter for the most part. I have a lower "set point" for comfy temps. I generally prefer around 65-68 or 70-75 with wind rather than the 80-95 exasperatingly hot I see a lot of a lot of people enjoy. That doesnt mean I dont enjoy the occasional steamy day. When I first arrived in the Midwest from the Southern California and the temp hit 88 and steamy I really enjoyed it despite it being Miami-like steamy after weeks in the 50s with no sunshine.
But after a day or two of that Im done. I guess its because I was raised in the desert most of my life with 8 months of 90 and 100 degree days, Im kinda sick of the heat.
Is there any climate on earth that simply has no summer? Where the high temp rarely reaches 70? I know that even in iceboxes such as Yakutsk in eastern Russia, it will hit 85 in August.
The only places Ive seen so far are the Prince Edward Islands of South Africa (uninhabited), San Francisco (city!), San Diego (city, downtown!), Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, coastal BC and Alaska, etc. Any place where it maxes out at 65?
I once went to a talk by a lady who lived on Campbell Island for two years, doing conservation work. She also did the meteorological work. In two years there, the highest temperature was 14C.
While she was there, she also swum out, and rescued someone who was attacked by a great white shark, while the shark was still visible.

I'd highly recommend Eureka, and was going to mention it myself. My favourite place in the world. The mild climate combined with the sense of isolation gives the place a strange atmosphere.
