My family and I just returned from Phoenix. It was in the mid 90′s all week. We loved it. I did my morning jog and the kids went swimming. The water was too cold for the locals, my kids were the only ones swimming. I was also the only jogger on the streets more or less. It is strange that no one was enjoying the outdoors. We spend as much time as possible outside in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the late spring, summer, and early fall. I hate winter but when it’s above 60 degree we try to get outside and enjoy the weather. We do lots camping and make the bust of Pittsburgh’s weather. We have thoughts of moving to Phoenix but if you can’t get outside and enjoy the weather then what is the point.

By far the easiest job here in Cyprus is the weather man/woman. It goes something like this: “today was sunny, clear skies and tomorrow will be sunny with clear skies”. Seriously though, people here just don’t bother checking the weather, because it’s the same almost every day of the year – something like 330 sunny days. The rest is what little rain we get during the year. With summer averages of 35C (95F) and a short winter average of 20C (68F), why bother checking it? Having lived in the States as well for many years in all sorts of climates, from windy, chilly and humid Nebraska to sunny California, you are right about people being more relaxed and friendly in sunny places. I wouldn’t trade it for anything again. The afternoon siesta helps too! ;o)

I suppose our* weather here in Toronto is similar to New England’s. We talk about it all the time here.
I suppose the weather in Singapore is unchanging, everyday, all year.
I was about to comment on the weather to a co-worker from Singapore. She was taking a break and gazing through the window at the winter weather.
But I stopped myself and asked instead, “Do people talk much about the weather in Singapore?”
I was a little surprised how long it took her to stop laughing and recover enough to be able to say, “No. Never.”
*Yes — we own the weather here.

I’ve been living in Texas (the Dallas/Fort Worth area) for 18 years and every summer I complain about the heat. My wife is really tired of me asking, “why are we living here?” 95 to 100+ degrees F every day. If only the evenings were cooler but they aren’t. Sometimes it’s still 95 degrees at 10:00 PM! But I have to admit that winters are not so bad; very mild. If we do get really cold (in the teens), it only lasts for a day or two and then it’s back to mild. I’m from northern Oklahoma and grew up playing in snow. I miss that living here in Texas.

Heck, it could be worse. You could be residing in the United Kingdom. I’ve forgotten what ‘sunshine’ looks/feels like! :-(

> We talk about the weather a lot in New England
As do we in ‘old’ England (as you can tell from many of the comments). But that’s because there’s a lot of weather to talk about. It keeps you on your toes – cold and rainy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, windy in the evening etc etc.

every place has a plus & minus.
new orleans= early springs & hardly a winter but horrible oppressive heat in summer. 3-T-shirt changes not unheard of.
Philadelphia= 4 seasons. Worst is the late March spring fever when you have snowbaorded & had snow fun but are DYING for warm air.
Best to live like the birds and travel to the fave climes..:-)

Certainly cold in England too. A slow driving drizzle accompanied by biting winds.
