I love cold weather. I love warm weather. If I had to choose a type of warm weather it would pick hot and humid over hot and dry because dry weather isn't good for your skin and the breezes of hot and dry weather feel like car exhaust being blown on you while in my experience humid heat the breeze feels really nice. So It turns out I like cold weather or hot and humid weather.

I used to prefer warm weather, but starting a few years ago, I developed major sensory issues with feeling even the slightest bit damp. I can't stand sweating at all, nor can I tolerate humidity, which comes along with heat where I live. So now I'd rather be cold and put up with dry skin rather than deal with heat and humidity.

I like aspects of both, I like being inside when its dark and cold and outside on nature walks in the summer. Cold is atleast a good reason to stay in and stay bundled up with copious amounts of coffee and stuff to read and warm cheese sandwiches. Not much of fan of outside - on that note Im out of cheese so Im going out to brave snow.


This makes me wish I lived in London. England is such a cosy country. :heart:

I like cooler temperatures such as somewhere around the 50s or 60s in degrees Fahrenheit.

Warm weather.

The best way I can describe it, is that I like the outside weather to be "unseasonably warm" no matter what time of the year it is. If it's winter and the normal high is 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius), I want it to be around 50 - 60 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 15 degrees Celsius). If it's summer and the high is supposed to be 80 degrees Fahrenheit, then I want it to be 90 - 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything that's unseasonably warm makes me happy.

Definitely cool. Around 5 degrees at night and 16 degrees during the day, as in La Paz, would be perfect for me.

I also like very dry weather. I can't stand the humidity.


At first I thought you meant Fahrenheit. That would be so cold! Please, no! Then I remembered you must mean Celsius :lol:

Warm. I live in the desert SW USA, and often won't even use my AC.

I really dislike extremes, especially as an individual who has to walk most places.

I want a place that is temperate, has a still wind, is just humid enough to not be overly dry.

60s to 70s F Some people call that cool, others warm. For me, it's my Goldilocks zone.

That sounds perfect, but if I have to choose an extreme, definitely cold. I hate heat.

Totally agree! I feel cold if it is below ~65 Fahrenheit and hot if it is above ~75. Living in the Mid-Atlantic means we only get 2-3 weeks of that in Late April/Early May and another couple weeks in Late September / Early October though
