I always love to see data analysis on tolerable weather. I've done a lot of research on weather in the US and its a perpetually challenging problem. There are a small list of cities where its consistently nice (Solely in california and miami), and a larger list of cities that are have 4 nice seasons. But the data will never tell you the full story - Denver doesn't rank incredibly well in the data but the winters are…
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.
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.
But high 60s feels cold when you regularly get summer days over 100 and it occasionally hits the low hundred-teens...
The SF Bay Area has the nicest weather year round, which is probably a strong contributing factor to why the area is so rich. I'm currently in Tokyo. The temparetrue is not the nicest year round, but it feels very natural. There are four seasons. Winter is tolerable and it rarely goes below 0C. It snows about once a year. Summer is hot, just like it should be, but it hardly goes above 32C. The only thing that bothers…
This seems to miss out the broader dimensions of "nice weather". For example, 39F/3.8C on a cloudy winter day on the US east coast is entirely different than the same temperatures in the (intense) sun and low humidity of the high desert in the US southwest. Conversely, 78F/25.5C in May in the US southwest on a windy day is totally miserable to be out in, because the wind can hit sustained bursts of 25mph/40kmh with m…
I would take 20 to 25C,low humidity and low wind speed. :)
Weather seems like the classic the grass is greener elsewhere. I see Edinburgh ranks well which I live near. Had also lived near Toronto and can vouch for the less extreme temperature variance in Scotland. The seasons are less well defined here, it's quite normal to have all 4 seasons in a day.
Boston (and Massachusetts itself) has the most character of any state, and the people are quite unique in various capacities. It is #1 in biotech, education, and healthcare and #2 in finance and software. For the size of its population it punches well above its weight in importance.
To circle back, I think the weather has something to do with it. Tough weather makes tough people. Locals can be gruff at first but if you learn how to break through they are far nicer than New Yorkers.
