With all the extreme weather patterns going on, I don't think any place has an ideal climate.

Carlsbad, north of San Diego. Average hi during the coldest month, December, is 64. As mentioned, we pay for this weather though. Outrageously expensive.

I would have said Sunny Southern California!

I live in the Midwest and enjoy my 4 seasons, but I know a lot would probably want milder temps year round!

Colorado Springs is really nice. Yes, it snows here but not like it does in other places. Our summers are great and many people here don't even have or need AC. The only downfall about living here is the drought situation. Water is valuable here and expensive. But overall, this place is wonderful. There are many reason why so many people are moving here and the weather is one of them.

We went to San Diego a  few years ago for Spring break and it snowed. 😬 I had only taken warm weather things and couldn't even find a sweater or coat in stores...finally found a men's fleece jacket at a Goodwill store. 2 sizes too big, but I was in no position to be picky since we had reservations for a dolphin watch. No guarantee of perfect weather anywhere.

I lived in ABQ for several years. Love the lack of humidity. We did have snow occasionally, but never very much and the summers were hot but always bearable. I loved being able to grow a really good garden of veggies. Rich soil and not scorching sun.

No such thing anymore. Unfortunately. Everywhere is volatile now.

I remember I used to love the weather when I lived in San Francisco. Temperate, but rainy. And I love the rain.

San Diego was too cold for me.

This may sound totally insane to many people but there is talk amongst climatologists that are saying Duluth, Minn. is becoming a hotspot for "climate migrants".

Here's why according to one news article I have come across (among others as well):

"Harvard lecturer Jesse Keenan an expert on climate adaptation, had recently identified Duluth as a potential hotspot for future “climate migrants” — people escaping rising sea levels or extreme conditions like drought, heat waves and wildfire smoke fueled by climate change. Keenan described the city's climate as moderate, and he noted its access to abundant fresh water and room to grow."

If this guy thinks Duluth's climate is "moderate", I'd hate to live where he considered "extreme".

@geezerette 

He's not the only one who shares his same thoughts. I watched a recent TV special about climate change and there were a few climatologists talking about Duluth.

There goes the neighborhood!

You must not have lived on our sandy Westside!
