21ºC for us non-Americans. That would be a pleasant year's worth of weather for me, given that the winter temperature in my Canadian city can reach -35ºC in the deepest part of winter.
Thanks for the conversion. Whoah, that's cold.

You can come to Mexico City, with a min. 14ºC Daily mean temperature in winter and a max. 20ºC in summer. It's basically Spring all year long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_City#Climate
Wow, I had no idea about that. TIL. I always thought all of Mexico was very hot year round.

I live in LA (somewhat new, but I have been in CA for years), and I do not miss seasons at all. It has been many years since I have seen snow, and I plan to keep it that way. I cannot recall the last time I was in below freezing weather. I am an avid cyclist, and it is amazing to bike year round. My tan lines are very prominent from the amount of cycling I do in sunny weather.
+1. I absolutely do not miss seasons in Southern California. On the contrary, I'm much happier when I (almost) constantly have great weather.

#94It is almost a cliche but my friends who moved to LA truly do miss the seasons, especially leaves changing colors. It is like living in a giant open-air mall all year long. When nothing changes but the store displays, the seasonal heartbeat is lost. Living in LA, of course, means they can go to the beach all-year long with a short commute though. Snapchat is particularly smart for having its corporate headquarters al…

Yep, Calgary, Alberta. I wager that the folks from northern Montana have the same weather as us.
I grew up in Edmonton and you have to be honest, -35C is an extreme temperature that is only rarely reached. Almost every winter gets to -20C or -25C but -35C can happen but isn't an every winter let alone every day occurrence. And anyways... it's a dry cold :-) Winters here in southern Ontario are fairly mild but they feel worse to me than where I grew up. A damp -10C is just awful, so hard to get rid of the cold fe…

It's similar to Medellin with an average high around 22ºC all year.
average high is 27 centigrade. average temp is about 22.

#98Or they could just stay in San Diego all year round....
I was gonna say... the trip to Alaska seems unnecessary. Average highs never surpass 70°F in San Francisco: http://www.usclimatedata.com/climate/san-francisco/californi...

I lived in Orlando for eight years and suffered the same thing. At least, I think I lived there for eight years. It's hard to tell, because it started to feel like an unbroken smear of days.
I live in Seattle now, and I love the cadence of seasons. It helps mark the passage through my life and I get filled with positive anticipation of every single seasonal change. I love picnics and playing in the sun in summer, mulling cider and carving Jack-o-lanterns in fall, snuggling under blankets and driving to play in the snow in winter, and, uh... OK, so spring here doesn't have too much to offer. But it's a good lead in to the incredible summers here.
