    Sunbelt here:

    I legitimately loathe any temperature <23°. At 20° I’m too uncomfortable to be outside without layers. I’d prefer to do nearly everything outside if feasible, and really enjoy nature. I also hate rain during the colder months.

    I’m legitimately glad that people have options, but I think the population growth of the southwest shows where people are partial to the weather 😝

      I upvoted this but holy Jesus. I’m stripping off at 18C and the scientifically proven melting point for shiny white people like me is 25C. Edit: it’s very humid here in fairness.

      If you don’t mind me asking, where is it that temperature so regularly? Must be near the equator I’m guessing.

        I’m in Tucson (1.5 hours south of Phoenix) where yesterday my car said it was 33° (unseasonably warm for this time of year). We’re at 32°N latitude, same as Tel Aviv, but the hottest city at this latitude on the planet (other cities at this latitude are cooler overall because of oceanic/continental climatic influences). We usually get 3 weeks of “possible” <10° midday temps from Christmas to mid January, and every year at that time I’m swearing that I need to move to the Caribbean lmao. I’m also not “white”, so that might affect my sun and temperature perception 😆

      Modern air conditioning does a lot of the heavy lifting for that preference.

          You could say that about anywhere on the southern North American continent

          The US south was underpopulated until A/C. The north was where the population was located until A/C.
