    Grew up on the east coast. 40 years in PA, VA, and NC. I now live in Western Montana. Winters are harsh but I am glad to live in a place with little humidity. Windows open all summer. No air conditioning. Cool nights. Even in the high 80s are pleasant in the shade.

    Green is good, any less humid than that I get bloody noses and my mouth is so dry, shit is annoying

    Perfectly happy in my mismarked purple.
    Winter 36°F – 55°F with 70%+ humidity
    Summer 45° – 85°F with 60-90% humidity
    60% of the year, overcast/fog from sunset to 10AM.
    Ocean temps 55° in winter, 65° F in summer

    I’ve lived on the line between 70-80 and 80-90 my whole life. It doesn’t bother me and I’ve loved the places I’ve lived (TN, NC, VA). I’d be happy to try out a dry heat or milder summer long term (I’ve been to Maine and Minnesota in the summer and enjoyed it), but I couldn’t do the winters there. I hear California is my ideal climate, but I’m not sure I could afford it

    Oh… well my life is about to get significantly worse again. Thanks for the reminder.

    I’m a tropical creature that happened to be plopped in the dark red region for work. I found the red region as not as bad as where I’m from. But if I could pick a location, a purple area somewhere up north and near the coast

    I’ve lived in the yellow portion my whole life and can tolerate it. I’d probably enjoy the purple portions a bit more from a comfortability perspective, but I’d also never move that far away from family and friends.

    My favorite thing about living in the western US. Yeah heat might be tough when it reaches the 90’s or 100’s but I’ll take Las Vegas heat over Miami heat any day.

    I’ve lived right on the dotted red line for my whole life and kinda like the balance. Two months of humid jungle is ok and completes the year, along with a winter with snow and negative temps

  10. Texas and to a lesser extent, Oklahoma, sure have a lot of variation from wet to dry. I-35 is a good dividing line between humid and not so humid during the summer.

    People say Florida is bad, and obviously it is, but I was surprised how much humidity is reduced for those living right on the Atlantic. That strong sea breeze definitely has a huge impact. Like, Orlando felt as if I was in an air fryer compared to Fort Lauderdale which felt bad but still manageable.

    This seems to be number of days above an arbitrary threshold of humidity rather than actually comparing humidity levels. Otherwise the desert would be significantly lower than the west coast. What is the significance of the 65 degree dew point?

    I wish I was in a place that was more green/blue than yellow, but at least I’m outside the dotted line.

    Nowadays, Yellow bare minimum. I grew up in the dark orange in Virginia and now live in the yellow in Rochester and I’ve always said the difference in a muggy July day is that in Rochester you step outside and go „that’s disgusting“. In Virginia you step outside and can’t breathe. I cannot fathom living in the dark red lol

    Edit: I would probably put up with light orange to live in NYC specifically, but anywhere else would not outweigh the brutal summers

  15. I will probably only live on the West coast for the rest of my life because of humidity elsewhere.

  16. Santos_L_Halper_II on

    One summer I flew from where I live in Central Texas to Salt Lake City and I’ve never felt such refreshing air in my life.

  17. Adventurous-Roof488 on

    I lived in deep red for 15 years but live in yellow now. I’d trade the cold snowy winter for heat & humidity any day.

  18. I prefer higher humidity IF I’m going to spend a day at the beach. I’d rather be warm with the option to cool down by taking a dip.

  19. It can be 100° outside and I’m still golfing out in Utah in July. The dry heat really does make a difference

  20. We’re ten miles from the Sonoma Coast. We get fog most mornings and low humidity during the day… It’s lovely.

  21. I live in one of the ~80 zones now, and it’s disgusting. So I’m going with anything in blue.

  22. I’m in yellow with no complaints. Humidity is manageable, nothing extreme like the southern states. Beautiful summers and I get the pleasure of 4 distinct seasons all gorgeous in their own ways.

    I love visiting many areas in purple, but I would hate missing out on a lush cool spring, nice summer temps in the upper 70s-80s, autumn colors, and even snowfall.

    What is the dashed red line representing? (Aside from 60 degrees dewpoint)

  24. Central Texan here. I can’t do dry. Give me lush green or give me death.

  25. Currently live in the humid half of the dotted red line. At this point I’m used to it. Dare I say I even kinda like it except for the most oppressively hot and humid days.

  26. My entire life, I have lived in red and dark red. The lighter red is a world of difference.

  27. I moved to one of the dark red areas 30 years ago from a yellow area. I can honestly say I will take the humidity over dryness 1000x over. It takes some getting used to, but I feels so much healthier.

    I grew up in the Midwest. Do I complain about humidity? Yes. Would I trade it for a drought? Hell no. Water is life.

    San Diego gonna San Diego. 

    I personally feel that there’s no place better than the PNW in summer.
