Recommendations for the perfect climate?
strawberry icecream wrote:
I was wondering where in the world you would recommend for the perfect climate? This would also include having little danger of hurricanes, volcanic activity, earthquakes, etc. Southern Ontario has a temperate climate that rarely goes over 90 F or under 0. We get enough rain that we don't have to worry about drought and good enough drainage not to have to worry about floods. We rarely get blizzards or tornadoes, and every few decades we catch the tail end of a hurricane. We don't get earthquakes or volcanoes. It isn't the type of climate that allows al fresco dining all year by any means, but the weather and geological activity won't kill you either. |

Personally I'd take Northern Arizona, summer is warm and while it cools off enough in winter to allow spending a morning skiing you can drive south for a an hour or two and play a round of golf in the warm sunshine in the afternoon.

Keith You must be talking about Flagstaff, because other areas of northern Arizona, such as Kayenta don't fit that description at all!

SO is often over 90 and often under 0.... |

140.99.99.130: Southern Ontario sounds really nice. Doesn't southern Ontario have the same weather as northern Minnesota? I guess different people have different concepts of "cold". Personally, I think 0C is cold. I wouldn't mind if I never see 0F again in my life. |

I wouldn't mind if I never see 0F again in my life. It's all relative. After a couple weeks of -40F, 0F seems really nice and after a couple weeks of 0F, 0C makes you want to take your shirt off and head for the beach... Richard |
