What US city do you perceive to have the "best" weather?

[zinfamous]

I like rain.

And hurricane parties are my fav

I'm not disagreeing with you, exactly. I freaking love hurricanes, and i like some rain. I hate cold, nasty, shit rain.

Coastal rainstorms can be awesome--they are usually quick and super violent. And in Florida, it is often raining while the sun is out, which is both shitty and great at the same time.

But, on average, such conditions are unfavorable to most people.

and humidity

I feel sorry for people that live without sun for months out of the year.

Humidity isn't as bad on the coast. True, it's worse in Miami than other parts of the country that aren't the south, but even in FL, it is very mild in comparison.

Head inland a bit or up to the panhandle. Holy Hell! D:

 

[MetalMat]

San Diego duh

Luckily Austin has awesome weather but the summers get pretty hot. The weather in south Louisiana sucks ass, too much random ass rain storms, too hot and too humid

I do like some Bay area mornings with the fog in the bay. It looks cool but to have to live in it would probably suck.

Yeah, San Diego has great days, but it does tend to get pretty chilly at night.

I like hot and dry with warm nights, so personally I would prefer Phoenix, Vegas or South Texas.

San Jose

 

[silverpig]

I'm not into really hot weather, and I like a little bit of rain, so I'd go with maybe San Fran?

I don't really know... I do want some snow in the winter though.

I'm in Vancouver and while the summers are gorgeous, the winters are just rainy. I like some rain in the fall and spring, but it needs to be like 10C colder here in the winter to keep the snow around and it'd be perfect.

Actually, where my wife is from in the interior of the province is probably best. Hot (40+C) in the summer, cold and snowy in the winter, and not much rain the rest of the year. Think wine country in California with a month or two of snow in the winter.

Then why have I been commuting to graveyard shifts on my motorcycle year-round for three years? Dress appropriately and don't complain until there's ice all over (haven't seen any though I have seen pockets around ~32F).

San Jose CA

I live in SJ, its nice but its not San Diego nice. Except for now, seriously WTF. Middle of may and its 50 degrees and raining.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I agree. While the majority of the country has 7-9 months of crappy weather and 3-4 months of great weather, Phoenix is opposite. Sept - May are best.

This comes from someone who has lived in Seattle, Miami, Sacramento, Durham, and Cincinatti.

Trouble is it is completely unbearable the other 3 months out of the year.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Rochester, NY.

I used to live there and can confirm that it sucks.

 

[Bill Brasky]

brick was san diego's weatherman because an idiot could do that job

It's kind of amusing to me that I've seen that movie 20+ times and never made that specific connection. LOL.

Denver or San Diego...I've lived in Phoenix, you can't even consider it.

Not enough love for Denver in this thread. It's pretty amazing.

 

[zinfamous]

It can be nice, and I do like that there is this "minimal" variation in climate.

But the bad thing about Berkeley is that you are literally sitting in fog most of the time.

mold is a huge problem here.

perhaps surprising to some, but there is a lot of subtle brilliance in that movie.

Denver is awesome. You have to like crazy unpredictable, though--freak blizzard in June, 70 degrees in December, etc.

 

[AreaCode707]

Santa Barbara. But I personally like Napa/Sonoma/Mendocino weather. Hot summers, distinct but fairly mild seasons.

 

[BoomerD]

San Diego, without a doubt.

Summer temps rarely hit 90, winter temps rarely dip below 50.

It's not overly humid, doesn't rain all the damned time like the Seattle/Portland area, lots of sunshine most of the year.

HOWEVER, drive just a few miles inland from the coast and ...Hotter than hell in the summer, cold as hell in the winter.

 

[GoSharks]

Santa Barbara. But I personally like Napa/Sonoma/Mendocino weather. Hot summers, distinct but fairly mild seasons.

Mendocino is nothing like Napa or Sonoma.

NM you're not talking about Mendocino the town.

 

[lxskllr]

Seattle maybe? I like it cool and wet. I think that's Seattle.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Park City, Utah, USA.

orrr Minsk, Minskaya Oblyasts, Belarus.

 

[SphinxnihpS]

I would live in San Fran though, WAAAAAAAAAAY before San Diego though.

 

[zerocool84]

I would live in San Fran though, WAAAAAAAAAAY before San Diego though.

I wouldn't. They're banning everything in San Fran plus you're too close to the hippies and hoods.

 

[Chaotic42]

Doesn't it snow a lot in Bogota?

Just cocaine

 

[AreaCode707]

Yeah, sorry, I should have been clearer. Napa, Sonoma or Mendocino Counties. The Mendo/Sonoma coast weather is definitely different than the inland areas.
