bleh म्हणाले...: I don't really understand the graphic or the tool. A high temperature range only tells part of the story. I also want to factor in my preferred low.

Ideal daily temperature range for me is a high of 85 and low of 60. Tell me where to live for that.; १८/९/१५, ११:१२ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: Exactly. I want a nice low in the hot months. It makes a huge difference.; १८/९/१५, ११:३७ AM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: And the author draws attention to his desire not to have to put on the air conditioning.

In our house, the cool lasts long into the day, so it hardly matters what the high ends up being. The question is whether the house stayed in a good range over the whole day.; १८/९/१५, ११:३८ AM
Rosalyn C. म्हणाले...: Pull the right hand part of the slider further right.; १८/९/१५, ११:३९ AM

Rosalyn C. म्हणाले...: First, click on with mouse and then pull.; १८/९/१५, ११:४२ AM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: It's not the average high that gets you -- it's the extremes, and their frequency.; १८/९/१५, ११:४७ AM
Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...: The thinking now appears to be that many of the dinosaurs were semi-endothermic, becoming less so as they aged and acquired greater mass.

And forget the lizard thing.

T-Rex was more like a giant chicken that would have you butchered, battered, seasoned and fried faster that you could say, "OH JESUS FUCK!!!! IT'S A GIANT CHICKEN!!!!!!"; १८/९/१५, ११:५८ AM
TosaGuy म्हणाले...: The temperature range is meaningless if you don't know the level of humidity. High humidity at about any temperature is very uncomfortable.; १८/९/१५, १२:०७ PM
rcocean म्हणाले...: I can live with a hot day, if I have a cool night. Those Southern Summer nights are murder.; १८/९/१५, १२:२३ PM

n.n म्हणाले...: It's too hot. It's too cold. It's never normal. Temperature needs to be graded on a curve.; १८/९/१५, १२:३२ PM
Patrick म्हणाले...: The temperature matters, but is not the only factor. I want to know about the humidity, the variability and the percentage of sunny days. San Diego is nice to visit when it's cold here in MN, but the lack of weather change would drive me nuts. I like the extremes, as long as we don't get them too often, and the crummy weather we tend to get in March and April makes the nice days sweeter.; १८/९/१५, १२:४९ PM
Michelle Dulak Thomson म्हणाले...: Patrick,

Yes! I lived in the SF Bay Area for a quarter century, and nine straight months a year w/o rain gets pretty old. San Diego's climate, I understand, is surprisingly similar. OR (right on my own climate sweet spot, at least here in Salem) at least has rain throughout the year, and snow on occasion.; १८/९/१५, ३:२० PM
Christy म्हणाले...: The Southern Appalachians have cool nights. I agree, it's not the heat, it's the humidity. I've heard Guadalajara has the best year round weather.; १८/९/१५, ४:२२ PM
a psychiatrist who learned from veterans म्हणाले...: A lot of the habitability of a place has to do with when the kids are out of school. You can kind of build a relationship with a place then. That's why for me Chicago was great and Dallas sucks. I have been driving by a golf course around DFW lately while working. For days lately no one was out there. The baseball backstops have no wear in front of them. As the temperature dropped a bit yesterday, people were out a bit riding on carts. Now the kids are back in school and we are building lovely billion dollar bridges over arroyos. It's been hot for the beach for a couple of weeks and glorious weather, really, to study algebra lies ahead.; १९/९/१५, १२:०१ AM
