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
chickenbuttstfu on
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.
BluebirdFeeling9857 on
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?

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!)
veryblanduser on
That’s why California coast is so expensive, you’re paying for the weather.

This is all relative to what you adapt to. Here in Central Texas 90 doesn’t bother me at all and I will run in that temp no problem.

It’d be nice to define your own perfect weather days and see the map then

should have included Hawaii…

As someone from California, western NC is my favorite weather on the east coast, especially Asheville.

Rude to not include Alaska.
Though we probably have a different opinion on what a perfect weather day is. 22F and snowing? Hell yeah, brother.

I am curious where the definition of perfect weather is from? As someone fairly active the highs are too hot for me and I don’t mind stronger wind at all. It helps keeping me from overheating during jogging or hiking.

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.

Oregon is not red. Overcast with misty drizzle isn’t perfect weather? That doesn’t sound right.

I wonder why housing in CA is so expensive.
magvadis on
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.
K_R_S on
can we have a similar one for Europe?
jacobpederson on
Depends on what you think is perfect weather. Since I find 55 to be perfect – I’ll stick with Lake Superior 😀

82 degrees is nightmarishly hot for me.
wildlywell on
Ah yes, Vermont and its famously good weather.
This chart illustrates the principle that when the data and anecdotal conventional wisdom conflict, it’s often the anecdotes that are correct.

This has to be made by someone from San Diego

Would like to give the pacific northwest an honorable mention. Most agreeable weather I’ve ever experienced. Specifically the greater Seattle area. Perfect for hoodie lovers
NautiBoppi on
As a Wisconsinite living near the shore of Lake Michigan, I’ll wager we appreciate a nice day more than the folks from California.
wildmishie on
That dew point doesn’t look perfect to me…
thewags05 on
82 is too hot and 68 isn’t low enough. 60-75 is more ideal. Lows down to 40 are fine too, I’m not usually outside when it’s the coldest part of the day.
shmerham on
60 F dew point is too high for an upper range for a “perfect” day. 55 F max.
jakedonn on
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.
ppitm on
<10 mph of wind? What an idiotic metric.
Only someone who never actually goes outside would want days like this.
tkd77 on
This map is accurate to the data criteria used to make it, but the definition of “perfect” is subjective. I’m in a 30ish day zone and love the weather here.

Look at my little slice of red 😁
At least there’s some excuse for the high cost of living here..

Its positively hot!
