She should ask some of her cousins in the coffee region due south. My mum grew up in Armenia city and on a clear day you can see snow peaks. There used to be 4 snow peaks in the area when she was young now sadly there are only three. Manizales city has 2 snow peaks right behind it and its the same cultural region of Medellin. Your wife should really know this, does she have no family in the coffee region? We're descendants of Medellin people (Paisas).
In any case I never really thought of it before but I really think Minca can be an option for the OP. You also have the added bonus of the breeze coming from the mountains so that coastal heat is often alleviated and loads of farms growing some amazing and varied produce.

How about Bermuda? Even though it is thought of as a "tropical island" it isn't even close. It's about 500 miles east of Charleston, SC.
The Bahamas are also above the Caribbean. The northern Bahamas from Nassau/Paradise Island and above are off of Florida's South East coast.
I think I'd quite like the climate of Bermuda, however with it having the highest cost of living in the world (!), I don't think it would work for me unfortunately.
No, you are looking for tropical vegetation in a sub-tropical climate. In Australia you have the vegetation in places in the far north, such as Palm Cove and Port Douglas, accompanied by a hot wet season, an inability to swim safely in the ocean and even presence of crocodiles.
You will find the palm trees further south on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays but they have been planted.
In Sydney most palms are introduced and are a pest. They are one of the few trees we can remove without permission.
Would I be justified in suggesting that people enjoy the natural vegetation of a region rather than introduced species.
You're right, that is exactly what I am looking for and which very likely can't really exist.
I loved the vegetation in Port Douglas and Mission Beach etc. but the heat in November was already quite extreme and I don't think I could handle a regular summer there. I spent some time on Hamilton and think that it probably is the best "compromise" at least in Australia for me. Even though not having a buggy in the wet season was quite tedious at times.
When you say "extreme heat", do you know what the dew point would roughly be during the day? Or the temperature / humidity?
Not sure about the specifics of the dew point, but I'm referring primarily to temperature/humidity. In 2019, for instance, we had months of extreme heat and humidity on Oahu. Here is one of many articles on the topic: https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2019/0...is-new-normal/
Note, that was a particularly rough year, but Oahu/Honolulu has its periods of high temperature and high humidity every year.
Yes the Atlantic tip of DR is hot, hot, hot but the trade winds can alleviate it somewhat, something Ethereal doesn't seem to grasp anddoesn't need to experience apparently to cast a judgement. Ah well. Humidity in the low 80's is much lower than what I experience in London in the summer.
Righty ho
Except that weather statistics don't lie. I threw them on your face and yet you are still finding ways to retaliate. Lol. PC is still warm to hot all year round with high humidity, regardless of its trade winds. Don't tell me how I should experience or perceive things because you look laughable.
At the end of the day, it's clear that you and I clearly have different weather perceptions. Just build a bridge already.
