Temperate to cold. Nothing more than 25 degrees ever, please.
Or anything less than like, minus 10.

In California, the coldest it ever gets is about 50F and we pull out all of our big winter coats and whenever we go outside, we shiver uncontrollably. Personally, 60F would be perfect for me. I like wearing blue jeans and drinking a cup of hot chocolite.

Depends on where in CA, amigo. Lake Tahoe, for example, a different story.

Hi Karis,

Hmmm, humidity is also an issue.
We have very dry weather in Adelaide but 1700km north in Darwin they can have 30*C - 35*C and 85% humidity. They call from September to December 'The suicide season' and I can understand that.

Check this out.

I visited there once during this season - it is not pleasant.

Gosh, I understand! The humidity can feel like a sauna in the middle of the summer...

You are off the hook. I see you've been making judicious use of your straightening iron. Go back to your beer and cigar. Faith

Me, I much prefer the cold to the heat, but temperate climate is always preferred.

For me, anything over 77ºF (25ºC) starts to get very uncomfortable.

well, get used to it, Big Guy, Hell is Hot!

Do you still have your accent or did you try to lose it as soon as you arrived over here?
