Default Recommendations for the perfect climate?

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.


Not knowing what you mean by "perfect", I would suggest San Diego. As least
the SD chamber of commerce would have you believe. Volcanic activity and
earthquakes are not climatic events.


Any suggestions?

TIA

I loved San Francisco, when there in 1996...........everyone said to go to
SD, great climate the said. But I didn't have time to make it down.





SD does have a fabulous climate, but *at the coast* (which includes SD
proper). Go 15 miles inland and you have quite a different story. Scalding hot
summers and relatively cold winters. But the coastal strip - several miles
wide and up the coast for hundreds of miles - is paradise, pure and simple.
I'm not going to guild the lily by saying more. Besides, folks would want to
come and Live here. Not a good idea:

Very dangerous. We have huge flying cockroaches the size of small dogs here,
that will bite your arm off in a second. They only attack residents due to San
Diegans having absorbed the 'scent of the locale' - what Lawrence Durrell
called 'Spirit of Place - a well-known, fully documented phenomenon. Takes
about a month to acquire this.

Tourists have nothing to fear and of course are very welcome. Nex

I agree that SD has a nice climate, but most of the California coast has
a similar climate (plus or minus a few degrees). Much nicer than anywhere
else in the USA, except for parts of Hawaii.

what parts/islands of Hawaii would you recommend?

It depends on what you like personally. There is only one city in Hawaii and
that's Honolulu on Oahu. Temperatures at sea level are a little warmer than
in say Mililani on Oahu or Kula on Maui. Hawaii is much cooler in the summer
than is San Diego and much warmer in the winter. Unlike San Diego, it never
gets cold in Hawaii, 65 probably being the lowest you might experience at sea
level and even that is very rare. Lows in the winter are usually about 68
degress and in the low 70s in the summer. Highs are usually high 70s or low
80s in the winter and high 80s in the Summer. It is extremely rare, but
sometimes it does hit 90 degrees in Hawaii on the western shores. Each island
has it's own unique and distinct characteristics; personally, I like the Big
Island of Hawaii best because it has the most physical variety. It seems
though, that most people like Kauai best and Maui second best. For
information about each individual island, you are invited to visit my Hawaii

Depends on the climate you want. The eastern shores of each island
(e.g., Hilo or Kaneohe) tend to be cooler. The western shores tend to
be drier and hotter (e.g., Kona). The northern shores tend to have the
biggest surf. The southern shores tend to have the most moderate
weather (e.g., Waikiki). Mountain areas can get a lot of rain,
especially during the winter.
