Type and Temperature
What is your type and do you like warm or cold weather?
I think most humans prefer a relatively moderate temperature. I like best places whose average yearly temperature is between 13 and 15 °C, however I voted "hot" since a preference for cold climates is generally understood as liking cities which are much colder than that. I've never lived in a very hot country though, so I don't know if I would dislike it as much as I disliked a very cold one (which I did experience). My intuition tells me I would hate living in Florida or Georgia, but I would probably love coastal California.

I think the best you can have are four changing seasons with different temperatures. It doesn't get boring this way. But if I had to decide between hot and cold, I'd rather pick cold, because too hot temperatures are very unpleasant to me. I like snow in general and also the seasons autumn and winter rather than spring or summer.
Maybe I would even prefer a trip to Siberia if I could choose between a tropical island and that.

hmmm....perhaps this poll is more suited to NTs (i.e. suggestive/HA sense-feelers). I suppose that gamma NTs might prefer the heat, which is more conducive to immediate decisive actions and muscular flexibility (relaxed id is useful in becoming unfocused and used to minimize heat creation and increase muscular surface area to give off heat) as well as the intuitive declaration spurred on by temperature-driven metabolic activity in the brain whereas alpha NTs would prefer the clarity of sense declaration more easily attainable in the cold and the more relaxed atmosphere of cooler weather (decisive id is helpful for focus and is supported by such behaviors as shivering). Thus far the poll supports this (Alpha Cold - 2 / Gamma Hot - 2 / Everything Else - 0) ...
Florida is not much hotter than the Northern states but it is very humid, and the retention of heat by water makes it seem hotter than it really is; also, the climate there does not change very much seasonally. Death Valley, California has some of the highest recorded temperatures in the world...
That's interesting, I actually thought about that. Hot temperatures always make me so slow, mentally and physically. It's better if you have some cold, fresh air. On the other handside, I really enjoy creating a cozy atmosphere at home (Originally Posted by Huitzilopochtli
) and that's something you can't do if it's hot outside (except for storms for example).

I also don't like how very hot temperatures (above 25 degrees) make me slow, but I like how they make me relaxed. After a while, though, relaxed becomes "depressed", so it's nice to have a change of season towards autumn, when my mind and body speeds up. Well, I suppose that as you said, it's best to have 4 definite seasons, each with its own characterThat's interesting, I actually thought about that.

(on the contrary though I don't like a cozy atmosphere that much, I prefer to go outside even when it's quite cold)

Which I think is quite rare to find these days, even in places that used to have that. Thanks to pollution, global warming and whatnot.Well, I suppose that as you said, it's best to have 4 definite seasons, each with its own character
I used to like every type of weather equally, and simply adjust to whatever was going on and try to make the most of it. But right now, if I could choose any place to live, I'd go for places with the least varying climate that would provide me with optimal comfort throughout the year without me having to adjust a lot.

I like comfortable weather.
My ideal outdoor temperature would be something like 75 °F (24 °C); with a relative humidity of around 50%; and a slight breeze.

I like everything but it has to change, like MD said, or else it gets boring.
