I can deal with summer better than winter.

I think that is most people.
And why so many senior citizens retire in places like Florida and Arizona (or at least have a winter home there if they are snowbirds).

But you're correct, we all react differently to various stimuli. Weather is no different. I'm kind of an idealist, romantic and appreciate the quirkiness of weather.

People in arid climates and up north have no idea how 89 with a dew point over 75 is much worse than 110 degrees. The humidity is the killer, I agree 100%.

I will not argue with you on that one. A good bit of ours come from Canada and drive like snails.

I wonder how much of a role genetics plays. I'm half Scottish and my favorite weather is 55 degrees and overcast. The summers in South Louisiana are depressing to me. I don't enjoy being outside 4-5 months out of the year. Contrary to the popular OT theme I'm not some big fat guy either.

I love Vegas, Palm Desert, Phoenix. You can walk around in 110* to 115* sunshine without feeling like you're in soggy diapers and wetbacking it..
Only problem is that your feet catch fire from that blacktop(gotta wear the right soles), and that car leather is scorching hot.

Totally agree

I've got no desire to live in that either. I suppose everyone is different. The 5-6 times I've been to Vegas in the summer I thought it was miserable.

Strangely, in Orlando yesterday, it was amazingly comfortable outside. It was the coolest mid day ever seen in several months.
I completely agree on humidity. I just hate it. I’d love to move out west to get away from it. I’d go farther north. Maybe Utah or Idaho.

Phoenix might have higher temperatures but I’m thinking most of the Southeast experiences worse summer heat than the desert
I’ve spent time in Phoenix in July (6 days). Believe me 110 degrees with no wind and no shade is fricking hot and miserable, humidity or not.
I know December through March is great but damn I don’t know how people live there the rest of the year.

Not sure, my parents weren't fans of cold weather and my dad loved it hot. But I was a skinny guy when I was younger and could never tolerate the heat well. Played sports, hauled hay, etc. Never liked it.
I've read actually that muscle mass makes you less receptive to heat because it's generating it's own heat. I think if you're fairly active outdoors, you can tolerate the cool better than the heat. Metabolism has something to do with it too.

When we “burn” calories, our bodies experience a slight elevation in temperature, and Chilly, here’s the lowdown: when we are feeling cold (in NY or anywhere), our metabolism slows down a bit. That’s why we shiver: our body is attempting to create heat and keep our internal organs warm. When we feel hot, such as when working out, our bodies expend more energy to cool off.

You get used to it living there or on extended stays fairly quickly.
Where as here in the deep south, even though being used to it, doesn't make the humidity and mosquitoes any more tolerable.
Wet is wet.

All of this. I went to Vegas a few years ago in late August. It was 106 on the strip, and it was hot, don’t get me wrong. But I never truly noticed it until we’d walk into a casino. I’d take that every day over the last two weeks here. 101 and 90% humidity is about as shitty weather as you can get. Too hot to do anything outside and enjoy it, and if you do it early it feels like you’re swimming.

Here in Whatcom County next to Canada it hot 80+ degrees only 7 times this summer, hottest it got was 89. Summer is now on it's way out as the first fall Pacific storm arrives Weds.. hottest we'll get the remainder of the year would be 78

Yeah man I'm jealous. That's my type of weather. I love being outdoors but i become a hermit during the summer here.

120-130 no humidity is worst than 100 with humidity.

I wonder the same thing. I’m genetically 95% Irish/British isle and I hate summer here I love 40 degree days.
