Transitions of mid 80s to low 90s with low humidity in summer, crisp 50-60 fall days, mostly mild winter but with occasional nice snowfalls (but no bitter zero to subzero temps with blistering wind), and then nice spring with 60-70 degree days with nice rain and occasional good thunderstorm display.

High temps between 75-80...85 is a touch too warm, cool nights, low temps between 60-65...in other words, San Diego weather.

Year round highs of around 55, lows in the upper 30s - mid 40s

Throw in plenty of rain and some snow here and there

I'd say 15C-20C with a slight breeze. Warm enough for shorts but not so hot that you sweat just from moving slightly. I can tolerate up to 25 then it's a bit much. It's the constant sweating that really makes heat unpleasant.

I saw +39 once. That was freaking brutal. I don't know how people manage to live in that regularly, and/or do physical work in it. I was trying to use a jackhammer in +30 once. I say try, because I was going in the house like ever 2 minutes to stand in front of the fan for like 10 minutes. I gave up and brought it back after putting a bunch of holes in the slab instead of actually breaking it up. Got a contractor to do it with heavy machinery and it took him a day. Was well worth the money I paid lol.

Would be fun to experience as long as it's not where I live. :biggrin: I'd hate losing my house and everything I worked hard for.

I bet vacations to Florida are cheap during hurricane season. Could take a break from our weather too. :p

You get used to it. Us Texans would say the same thing about the cold and snow up there.

Sometimes I like the heat when I'm outside doing physical stuff. Nothing like working up a sweat, cooling off with a beer afterwards, and going to bed tired but satisfied that you did something that day.

Humidity matters more than temp to me. I'm fine with highs in the upper 30s or low 40s (celsius, damn Canucks) so long as humidity is near 0. On the other hand, even a high of just ~27 in tropical conditions makes for some nasty swamp ass

Anything over 21 celcius and it starts getting uncomfortable. I prefer mild weather. My job prefers frigid cold winters and heatwaves in the summer.

I love all kinds of weather.

What I don't consider "perfect weather" or "perfect climate" is constant 70-80 every day. That sounds boring.

I love my seasons, yes even winter. Each and every season/weather has something special about it.

Love it when it snows too! It's so tranquil and peaceful.

20 degrees or so, and a snowstorm dumping multiple feet of snow.

Yes :awe: Love the winter. Love the snow. Love the outdoor opportunities multiple feet of snow give. Skiing (downhill, backcountry & cross-country), snowmobiling, snowshoeing, winter hiking, ice skating, sledding etc... I have more fun in the winter than any other season. Plus you get an opportunity to pull your e-brake when driving around every corner and practice fun things like drifting and sideways driving.

Its strange because I feel like the winter makes me appreciate the warmth more. Especially the coldness we have been experiencing here in New England. Waking up to temps in the below zero and fierce winds. Nothing beats coming in from the cold and taking off your soaking clothes. Change into oversized warm flannel pants, thick socks and a hoodie. Sit with a cup of coffee next to a coal/wood stove. Get yourself a warm cat to sit on your lap while you watch the light and shadows cast by the fire on the walls of the room as you doze off. Thats the life right there.

Sunny, about 25 Canada degrees with moderate humidity, slight breeze. I like being able to walk outside without having to suit up for battle.

And yes, screw snow. I'll keep moving south to get away from it. If I want to see it, send me a postcard or I'll go visit it.

:p
