Why, because those who love in hot climates (the US south, equator, Middle East) are usually conservative and traditional, as opposed to those in northern Europe?

I don't think a climate preference has to do with personality and personal choices. It doesn't make sense.

I'm not a heat nor cold lover and I am very conservative.

Would heat lovers be more likely for example to have say ESTJ personalities compared to INFP?
What a strange connection to make. What do weather preferences have to do with belief systems? That's like saying people who enjoy spicy foods are hot tempered

What are exactly supposed to mean "INFP" and "ENTP" ?

I see no correlation between weather preferences and social inclination.

I'm a pretty social person but I also like to be alone, and I enjoy outdoor activities. I don't know if i am conservative or not, but since I welcome migrants, go to punk shows
Spoiler
and engage in wild sex with strangers at parties
, I guess I'm not.

I want all 4 seasons, pretty reliable weather for the season (with some variety thrown in), and rain is more disruptive than cold for me. Not to keen on 97% relative humidity either, since I sweat pretty easily and I don't like to sweat and stink and get cold because I'm wet.

Conservative and liberal, as they are commonly defined today, seem to be more related to education and population density than climate. Areas where there are colleges and universities tend to be more liberal. Big cities tend to be more liberal than rural areas. People with college degrees tend to be more liberal than those without those degrees. While many of the states in the south tend to be more conservative, you can find the same level of conservative in rural areas in the northern states.

I don't do the whole liberal/conservative thing for the most part. Politically, I despise both. However, I most certainly believe in honouring tradition, and I like the cold. One of the only connections I can see isn't a universal one. Preferring to spend the winter solstice in a warm climate seems somewhat contrary to traditional ways. It doesn't cultivate the same feelings. But again, that's not universal... it wouldn't apply at all to many non-Western cultures.
