San Diego should rank highly on this list.

I traveled there for work once in February and it was sunny and high 60s the entire week. I could only think of how grossly unfair it was that people were allowed to live like that. I saw a guy rollerblading with no shirt on.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Seattle has pretty good weather too, if you only consider temperature.

Seattle has great weather. Less rain than Midwest and east coast US cities and never too hot or too cold.

Except the part where it's May and it's still raining this year, damnit.

You'd probably want to factor in precipitation and humidity as well. Also, having lived in the tropics for a long time, having no variation also gets a little boring after a while, although it is nice to never having to pay attention to the weather forecast.

Where I live it's like that too... for maybe one week a year.

Weather isn’t just temperature. Bogotá has perfect temperature but is cloudier than Seattle.

Seattle has pretty good weather too, if you only consider temperature.

It is 40 degrees F right now… in mid May. And has been all month and basically all year since last November.

I don’t see how you can call that good temperature.

Another interesting measure for these purposes is "heating degree days" and "cooling degree days", i.e. how much the outside temperature varies from indoor temperature. One of my former coworkers who lived in San Diego said that people there complain whenever the temperature outside is different than the temperature inside, and sure enough, it's the lowest by summed heating and cooling degree days in the US.
