Ideal Weather/Climate?

Postby Liberty and Linguistics » Mon Jul 20, 2015 6:30 pm

To take a break from the hackneyed political threads that end in snark attacks and red text, I've decided to talk about something milder. The weather. The weather is generally something great to bring up in small talk, and it's ruined the engine of my Volkswagen twice. But, that's besides the point. I'm curious, and am asking NSers, what is your ideal weather/climate?

It seems like a strange question, but I feel that many people have varying preferences in regards to temperature, precipitation, sunlight, among other things. In AZ, it's currently 42 C(107F) and sunnier than Sunny D, and this is actually a cold front. So, as you can imagine, I much prefer cooler weather. Any temperature from 15 to 20 celsius(59 to 68F) just feels beautiful to me. I prefer this with clouds and rain. That said, I've never seen snow in Arizona, so I would enjoy living in a climate with modest snow and cold in the winter, and mild to cool weather in the summer.

I like Colorado's weather to be honest, though if I could maybe experience a tropical climate once or twice I'd be good.

I definitely prefer warm to hot dry climate. Temps of 25-37 Celcius, low humidity, and sun really suits me.

Im in the middle of Georgia, so I know your pain. I have to do football practice in 90-something degree heat and 100% Humidity, without a cloud in the sky.

I honestly adore the climate of the city of Irkutsk, Russia: Barely above zero in the winter, if not MUCH colder, mid eighties to nineties in the summer.

37 Celsius? Damn, that's May weather out here in Arizona, and let me tell you, it's no fun. You can't be outside for very long without sweating more than a Jew in a mosque.

The humidity is killer. Thankfully, it's rarely too humid in the desert Southwest. However, during the monsoon season, we get some nights with 75-90% humidity and 110-115F weather. Kill me.

I'd say a climate similar to Boston's would be ideal, although an oceanic climate would probably be better in the summertime. I have a distaste for temperatures above 25ºC, but I also enjoy four distinct seasons, so Boston would probably be best.

It's a lighthearted analogy, not an absolute reflection of the life of your friend. :p

Yikes. Nope. Can't do that.

Why I like Irkutsk: Hot enough so that i can walk outside and while everyone else is dying im alright, and yet its not like swimming through burning fog whenever you go somewhere without air conditioning. Unfortionately, Putin is Putin so its not the best politically nor economically.

I imagine it's a pretty depressing place.

Vancouver's summer weather when its always sunny and there's very little/no rain mixed with some cool breeze, blue skies.

It doesn't snow either.

Unfortunately, for the rest of the year its pouring with rain and the sky is often a pale grey. I remember stepping out of a room in December and looking up at the sky, it looked like the Apocalypse had arrived. The clouds were swirling and turning and there were patches of black; and it was pouring so much rain that it almost cut your skin.

It is only really dark in January-December, and its only 70km from Lake Baikal, the clearest lake and the largest freshwater lake in the world, and from what ive read (OK fine on wikipedia but still) once you get to know people they are really nice. IDK.

I liked the weather of the Black Hills of South Dakota US. While it is as hot as Manitoba it did not have the humidity as Manitoba which is a big difference. I like not having snow though the other 3 seasons.

I was just in Vancouver. Last week, to be exact. The weather was quite nice. I walked the entirety of Stanley Park as it was about 18C, partly cloudy, and fairly breezy. Vancouver Island was a different animal, with all the wildfires and rain.

Mhm. I've heard it's depressing in the winter, though. Sure, I love the clouds, but that's because I see clouds once in a blue moon.

Unfortunately, I find it to be true

It's clouds and clouds and clouds... and rain.

When I first moved here, the persistent rainclouds contributed to my feelings of anxiety and depression.

The summer is a deceptive trap because for most of the year... its grey and rain water... hence the nickname, ''Raincouver.''
