Near perfect year round weather in California is worth a *fortune* to us!
I've been in sweltering nasty humidity, and bone chilling cold....Never again!
Life is too short!
Seriously, I am in the state where I want to live, though of course I hate CA’s politics and illegals. Today it’s in the high 60s, which is much cooler than the high 70s of last week. The ocean cools us in the summer, the desert warms us in the winter, we’ve got mountains and hills all around to look at — yes, we have snow in the L.A. basin, but just to look at on the tops of the peaks! Beautiful - that’s where we want our snow.
I get migraines when the weather changes fast, like it does in other places. Here that really doesn’t happen. It rains for 2 weeks out of the year. There will be a week in the summer when it’s hard to breathe from the fires. But the rest of the time, there is no humidity, just gentle, moist ocean breezes to keep it from being dry like Vegas.
We don’t have mosquitoes or other annoying insects. We can sit outside in the evenings, though we sometimes need sweaters even in summer. No one in my family owns a coat.
There is no other place in the entire country that is as mild and near 70 year round, EXCEPT coastal southern CA. No other place.
