meh might look a lot different if you dropped the requirement for average lows, I think high is what’s relevant
This is obviously subjective, but I would love to see highs 55-75F, lows 40F+, dewpoint <60, winds <10. Any cloud cover.

“Perfect weather” is very subjective
As a Floridian: Central Florida has a higher number of perfect weather days than the coasts? Absolutely not and it’s not even close. Central Florida is hell on earth.
This is cool, you should make it a tool where people can do their own inputs!
I think the colors should be swapped.
Color scheme seems backwards, red should be the worst places not the best.
And now I want to see the map of number of “don’t want to go outside” days.
I miss San Diego. I moved out when the houses were at astronomical $400k and the rent a blistering $1k. What I would do to lock down one of those…
Shouldn’t this be a dynamic map where users can adjust the criteria to determine their own “Perfect Weather” days?
There is nothing like the coast of CA. Its so gorgeous. Our mountains, rivers, and even deserts are nothing to balk at either.
Looks like a weather machine could really increase property values where it was deployed!
Exhibit A for why the California coasts is so unaffordable (along with them not letting anyone build because screw younger generations!)
That’s why California coast is so expensive, you’re paying for the weather.
should have included Hawaii…
As someone from California, western NC is my favorite weather on the east coast, especially Asheville.
As someone who moved from the KC area to finger lakes NY, this is definitely noticeable to me for one main reason:
Not only do the finger lakes get more days in the “perfect” category, but the seasonal changes are MUCH more gradual and steady. While KC meets these requirements for 20-30 days out of the year, those days are scattered all over the year. You could have a lovely warm January day or a nice break from the heat of summer and meet the criteria, but you are likely only getting 1 day at a time of weather like this so you rarely actually get to enjoy it.
Whereas in NY you get a month and a half of “ideal” weather in both Spring and Fall where temps rarely reach 80 but also stay at least 40. It feels like you actually get to enjoy these seasons rather than briefly experiencing them like when I lived around KC.
I wonder why housing in CA is so expensive.
Growing up in high southern Appalachian I thought the world was just built for us. Like it was nice so often.
The West Coast is wild. No wonder people forget about time there and never feel like they can be depressed
Like the idea of perfect weather all the time is great till I forget about how much I’m emotionally built around rainy days and winter snow.
can we have a similar one for Europe?
Growing up in a red area and then moving to the Midwest was a brutal change.
O shoot i always say Houston has about 14 days of good weather a year. I’m glad to see that backed up by science.
The little bit of an orange band around the south puget sound is accurate. People have highly misinformed ideas of what weather is like in western Washington.
I think the weather in central NC is incredible for all but about 3 months. Summer months can be very hot, but besides some hot/cold spells it’s mostly pretty solid. Also lots of rainy days of course.
West Texan checking in: I’m moderately shocked that we have 10-20 days a year with winds less than 10 mph.
Greetings from one of the red areas. Life is wonderful 🙂
I’ve lived in Cleveland and Chicago. 20-30 is way too high. We get like 6.
Guess that’s why it costs so much to live in California
What major cities are in that New Mexico zone?
So glad to live in that tiny red area!
Look at my little slice of red 😁
At least there’s some excuse for the high cost of living here..
The only “red” area I’ll ever live in.
lol Nevada is low because of the daily afternoon winds
This chart goes a long way to helping me tolerate how expensive San Diego is.
As someone who was born and grew up in O.C. California I didn’t know about weather until I moved to Texas in 2008.
I moved from a 100+ to a 20-30. Ouch; I didn’t need the reminder.
This chart goes a long way to helping me justify how expensive San Diego is.
I’ve lived in the northeast my whole life, and dear god the weather in San Diego is beautiful. You could walk around in a light sweater and corduroys, or shorts and a t-shirt and be just as comfortable.
Whats that red spot north of Tahoe? I think i wanna go there
And that’s why Coastal California is so insanely expensive.
(If you disregard the crazy NIMBY issues. If there weren’t so many NIMBYs then this would manifest in terms of insane population growth instead of insane housing prices. Same difference from a desirability standpoint though – you either get a ton of people moving there or you get insane prices if you restrict the number of “available slots” and only the very rich can afford it.)
The only “red” area I’ll ever live in.
This is why I never left the Central Coast after college lol
This poster and I have different definitions of what a perfect day is.
