Spring is cool and wet
Fall is cool and dry
Winter is cold and wet

In other parts of the country you can have polar bears all year round
it always cracks me up when Canadiens complain about humidity, they have no clue ....

Last week we had 7 consecutive days in the 30’s the worst being 34.2 C with a humidex of 40 ... that’s hot in my book.

Maybe in PA it gets hotter.

It’s definitely sucking in Florida this month ... we are crushing the numbers though!! I guess we didn’t want New York to steal the show ... we already have to hear them brag about the NY Jets.

Tough question for me. I have found happiness in all the places I've lived and traveled to. In all likelihood it'll be Ecuador, but i have such fond memories from when i lived with a cousin in York for a few weeks, i'd happily go back to England too.

I would never move to Sri Lanka. Humidity too high; humility too low.

The mountains have low humidity, and some of the beach areas have nice breezes that make you not care about the humidity. The problem for me would be inconsistent infrastructure (power, water, roads, hospitals) and corruption.

Low humility, defined as...

freedom from pride or arrogance : the quality or state of being humble

pickettt got it right. No intense offended though...

well the humidity may be year round, but maybe the humility is seasonal

Yeah hate that, no AC so hard to fall asleep with that weather, can't really go out on long runs (or have to start at 4am lol)

We'd probably move to Italy, after having spent some time in Milan, Rome, Florence, and Naples. That's a country that generally jives with our family lifestyle.

I really don't know where I would MOVE. I am not even sure if I would like to move states, much less countries.

I have always wanted to live in Japan, though I've never even visited and my knowledge of it is based on what you see in videos.

Also ever since I was a little kid, I have always been drawn to Canada. After seeing these global events, my desire to move to another country has only gone up.
