My husband and I have been discussing this last part of our lives and we want to size-down in size and we are open to any location. We currently live in the SF Bay Area.Many people make many suggestions based on finances, weather, industry, kinds of people, recreational choices, educational choices, scenic, solitary and on and on.Each time we sit and discuss choices, we ALWAYS find that pros and cons are related somehow to weather. We have lived east coast, midwest and here in Cali. Florida is often mentioned, but compared to BayArea, it is so very humid, rainy and hot in much of Florida. Arizona is often mentioned, but it is so dry and can be unbelievably hot. Texas is mentioned…too humid, too hot, dusty. Maine is mentioned…too cold. Minnesota, New York, Seattle are all terrific places with much to offer but these three or either too rainy, too snowy, too humid, too cold or too gray. We have googled every way we can imagine to put words together that might show us some place that we cannot think of.We always look at each other and say the same thing. The Bay Area is the best place to live if weather is important. It does not rain very much, and that is almost always Oct-March, leaving 6 dry months. There may be 10 hot days with temps in lower 90’s or 10 cold days with temps in upper 30’s and 1 day of 100 and 1 night of 28 and we have little humidity. Gentle winds appear most afternoons and the skies are often sunny.So there you have it.btw:Leland Stanford was a wealthy railroad tycoon. He had his people find THE best place in the US to raise horses. He wanted good weather for training. He wanted a winner. Leland purchased thousands of land here in this area, just south of San Fran and just north of San Jose.
State with best motorcycle weather?
In my humble opinion, the best motorcycle rides in the country are mostly in the Pacific Northwest, but it does rain there, and they do get a bit of winter sometimes. When I lived in northern Idaho, I did a 100 mile ride on Christmas day, and rode in snow on the 4th of July. It just depends on what you are prepared to deal with. I think you're not going to find anything you like north of Interstate 40. Florida and the gulf coast states have uncomfortably high humidity during the summers, California is too crowded and they'll tax you to death. That leaves Arizona, New Mexico and southern Nevada. Ever been to Las Vegas?
Which state of the U.S has the best weather?
It all depends on what you call "best weather." San Francisco and San Diego have mild weather that doesn't vary much in temperature year-round. The same goes for Honolulu, Hawaii. It does rain, but never snows. If you enjoy all four seasons, then there's plenty of great places to live in the Midwest, East, and in the mountains of the West. If you like cool/cold weather, head for Alaska. If you enjoy hot/warm and dry weather, Arizona and southern Nevada (Las Vegas) and southern Utah are good weather places. I personally don't think Florida has good weather for most of the year. The winters are cool/warm and dry with low humidity, which is good (I like visiting FL in the winter). Other than that, too much rain, humidity, heat, bugs, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricane season. Living in FL isn't for me.
Where is the best weather in the US - not too hot or cold or rainy?
Brunswick, Ga. There the the temps are mild year round and you are right on the beach. It is not a large city, but not a hole in the wall, either. For larger city activities, you are an hour north of Jacksonville, Fla, and an hour south of Savannah, Ga. The place offers several malls, movies theaters, lots of dining and, if to your liking, there are outlying islands to explore. The winter cold is in Jan and the summer temps may break 85 a few times, but generally are right at 85. It hasn't snowed there since 89. It hasn't been hit by a hurricane since 1964, but as they travel the coastline, the winds are felt and are not violent. The rain season occurs in March and April, but otherwise, is a warmer, drier climate. I am not far from Seattle now, having just left Ga, on my way to Canada, so I can say I have expirienced NW weather. It is very wet here and I cannot wait to leave. But, I am to return to Brunswick soon. The people I know there that came from this area refuse to leave because it is so nice.
What is the best state to live in?
Mississippi has to be right up there as the worst state to live. The population is uneducated, and the legislature is crazy. As for New York and California, both are over crowded and much too expensive. New York has very cold winters, and California suffers from drought, landslides, earthquakes, and out of control fires. What's "best" depends on how you want to live. People who like lots of wilderness love Montana. People who like beaches love Florida. People who are happy with a cool, rainy environment love Seattle and Portland.
Which US State rains the most? I want to move there?
A recent study showed the Mobile, AL is the wettest city in the U.S. with 67 inches average rainfall a year. The problem is that they don't get much snow and I'm not sure about fall foliage. Olympia, WA had the most wet days per year at 63. It's a cute little city, and I'm sure that Seattle isn't far behind in the number of wet days. Pacific Northwest rain isn't like east coast rain - it's the kind that drizzles for days on end rather than dumping a couple of hours at a time. Seattle is a very lovely city with lots of environmental concern, coffee and culture. Snow happens every couple of years in the city, but you don't have to drive far to see it if you want to spend a day in the white stuff. The only thing that sucks about Seattle is that the infrastructure isn't built to handle the number of people - therefore the roads and public transit are crowded and behind the times. Traffic is awful. Portland, OR, to the south is smaller and quirkier. Portland prides itself on its "weirdness" and strives to keep it that way. It has the same basic weather patterns and seasons, and also has trees and mountains and snow within an hour or two of town. Portland is dealing better with its growing population (they're adding another line of commuter light rail within two years) but they've had a more moderate rate of growth than Seattle. Portland has less to offer culturally simply because it's not as large as Seattle.
Which state in America get a very good weather not cold, not often rainy, not often cloudy, not hot?
I am from the Pacific Northwest (Seattle). We get rain in the late fall, winter & early spring. The summers are really nice here. The rain/snow will not stop people in the Pacific Northwest from there outdoor sports. If it's raining in Seattle, it might be clear & sunny in Portland Oregon (3hr drive south) or hot on the east side of the Cascade Mt. range. We are not a "Bike Friendly" city. But if you want to mountain bike, there are several places to go just East of the city. (Issaquah, North Bend area) But I don't think you will find a city that has "Perfect" weather here in the US, and if you do, please let me know : ) Try checking the www.weather.com web site for a city's average weather.
If you define “best weather” like:No dangerous weather conditions such as severe cold, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding rains, crippling droughts and heat waves.conditions that are conducive to human life, meaning no excess humidityEnough sunshine to allow people to remain in good spirit and health.Some seasonality to allow for a diverse agriculture that provides you with locally grown products and nice surroundings.And the winner is……The higher parts of Durango State, from about 5500 to 7000 ft of altitude. It seldom gets truly hot, has a reliable albeit short rainy season, the winters are cold enough for most fruit trees to be grown, but you never get snow. The weather is generally sunny and it is quite dry.I have been on a few occasions in this area and it was delightful. The land is not prone to make you rich, and it is too remote and population density is too low to attract many jobs. People tend to flock into places where there are more people. I never quite understood the reason why in Mexico, almost half the population seems to cram themselves into the Valley of Mexico when there are so many places available that are perfectly fine to live in. But someone has to make the first move .- such as the Mennonites, who seem to live a good, albeit work-filled life in this region. My wife`s family is from up there and folks live to be very old, some of them seldom see a doctor at all.I could easily envision me to retire up there, the problem with some of the area is not at all related to weather and remoteness.
Which are cheap places to live in usa and not cold throught the year?
Well if you are willing to brave the cold, Northeast Ohio/Western Pennsylvania is the cheapest area to live in in the United States. $1,400 a month gets you an extremely nice 4000 sq. foot upper class house. I live in Ohio and drive an hour to work in Pittsburgh for IT work and I work in one of the fastest growing places in the country. Seeing as though weather is a big factor for you, this area wouldn't be for you. The weather here sucks in the winter with cold and snow. I do hear that the Carolinas as well as Georgia is booming as well. Housing in Georgia I believe isn't as bad(actually housing across most of the US now is getting cheaper and cheaper with the mortgage crisis). Good luck!
