I LOVE the weather in the 70's and 80's..

Looking to live where the weather stays in that zone as long as possible
on the East coast. (not Hawaii)

Does anyone have statistics where we can squeeze the most days that will deliver these temps?

(I realize winter will dip) L@@king for that sweet spot as long as possible.

I feel like I have a magic 8 ball in my hands.. and can't wait to hear your reply.

I'm guessing its either, Virginia, Delaware, or maybe upper portion of North Carolina.(???)

You've got a Myraid of locations that have at least 8 months of 70f highs. It really depends on what you want. Do you want to live in a big metropolitan area? Does it have to be affluent with low crime?

High Plains Regional Climate Center - CLIMOD is really easy to use and will give you all this info. It's better to use big cities to compare because they're more likely to have reliable data sets.
Go to "Monthly Summarized Data" under Product Selection. Then you can look at the number of days greater than or less than a certain temperature. You'll have to do a little bit of math to find the number of days in a range (like the 70s).
I think Florida cities will be best. Orlando has 5 months out of the year with an average high in the 70s, Nov-March.
Now, would you rather the non mild days be hot or cold? Because Florida comes with some really hot and humid weather.

Gym fanatic..
My thanks. I will check out the link. Very nice of you. (Of course, low crime is best since I'm no super hero :^D ).

Muslim12 I really LIKE your reply, especially since that's a place we haven't yet visited, but intend to in the next month. thanks for thinking out loud!

Sedimenjerry You're a peach! Thanks for the CLIMOD, (there's the 8 ball effect)
You pose a very good question regarding the preference of non-mild days.
Hmmmm that's a tough one I really can't answer, so I guess the 70 - 80 degree choices will just have to get singled out.

Asheville, NC is worth checking out. It has a surprisingly high number of 70-80 degree days compared to other nearby areas in the subtropical southeast (like Atlanta). It's in the mountains so it does get colder than nearby Greenville and Charlotte but it's not as cold as the northeast and avoids a lot of the heat and humidity of the lower elevations (avg high of just 84 in July).

Must be something I don't understand. Surely the location with the most number of days in the 70s or 80s would be a place likely Miami Beach where 12 out of 12 months have average high temperatures in the 70s or 80s?

Also upstate new York has some of the most 70 degree days.

Yeah but I don't think oppressive 88/78 days are what the OP is looking for, she would probably like winters and shoulder seasons here though.
