Would you rather live where most often daily temps were lower than 50 or higher than 90?

OK, we know this is a tough question. And we also know it depends on your body temperature—some people run hot, while others run cold (and age plays a factor in that too). If you absolutely had to pick, would you choose to live in a place where daily temperatures were most often lower than 50° Fahrenheit, or daily temperatures were more often higher than 90° Fahrenheit?

After you vote in the below poll, please feel free to leave a comment and explain your answer.

I refuse to answer a poll question when the answers provide no reasonable options. I would ask if it’s author would rather sleep on a bed of nails or walk on hot charcoal. Or perhaps would it be preferable to eat foul smelling meat containing maggots or drink severely soured milk. Seriously? What purpose does this poll question serve?

I agree and will not choose either answer.

I agree with the first two commenters, however I chose above 90 as long as the humidity is near zero. Just not that bad then.

Bob M

I’d prefer in between, 70 deg.

Bob Palin

I can easily answer that I would prefer 50F as a high, the problem with that is the implication for the normal low temperatures and for winter temperatures, both are likely to be quite severe. (Members of the Flat Earth Society would have an advantage here since their seasons never need to change)

Didn’t select either. What about the third option of between 50 and 90 degrees – which by the way is how we RV: Winter in Florida, spring and fall at home in Upper Cumberland Plateau, summer in the Adirondacks.

Depends on the humidity.

NO VOTE: No Choice, in-between Not Listed.

About the choice listed indicates the RV’r will be using HEAT or The AIR Conditioner.

I would like comfortable weather conditions. Without using electric or gas utilities.

Old Fashion Camping (with a roof) with nice weather conditions.

Need low humidity. 50 to 85 degrees.

Joe Allen

Neither! 60 to 85 is the best, at least for us!

I chose over 90 because I feel the need to garden!

I prefer mid 70’s. Don’t like the heat and don’t like the cold.

Neither. I live in Florida, so that may answer your question. Averages run 81 high 61 low.

Where’s that? We live in Leesburg where daytime temps are running 89 and night time is 66.

Right now in central Fla (5:41 pm) it is 86 in the shade. I could use it a few degrees higher. However today humidity is low for this area. Higher humidity and it may feel a bit hot. Moved from the mid-west where I spent many cold winters and very hot summers.

And, that was not the question. It was not “under 50, over 90, or where you currently live?”

Not exactly. Read it again, Duane. (BTW – I had a favorite uncle named Duane.) Have a good night. 🙂 –Diane

You can always put on more clothes…but theres a limit of how much you can take off and still leave your RV!

I cannot put on enough to be comfortable under about 30 degrees.

Neither, I would like to live where temps never exceed 75 or below 65!

I choose 90 since the wife would freeze if it was 50 or below wall day

I lived and worked on the canadian border for 15 years. 6 months of cold and extreme cold when you have to work in it is tiring at best. I now live in the south. I have an acre lot for camping, in the mtns. Of murphy n.c. so I can still capture the flora and fauna of spring and fall. But full time res. South ga.

Easier for me to cool down than to warm up.

We have lived near Seattle for 25 years, and are acclimated to the cold now. When it gets above 85F, I’m generally done!

Hi, Jeff. Yep, I’ve lived just north of Seattle since 1946. I really like our generally moderate temps. If it gets above 80 or 85, I can barely function. I finally broke down and bought a little portable AC so I can stay more comfortable in my home office, anyway. Stay cool! And have a great day. 😀 –Diane

Tom Hosack

Neither. 70’s would be ideal.

I’m with you. Better question might have been below 65 or above 80.

Isn’t this why we RV? Drive until the temps are just right and settle in. At least that’s what we do.

Don’t like heat but on the 90 degree days at least some part of the day will be cooler. On the 50 degree days there will seldom be any warm days at all. Agree with comments. Travel to the 60-80 degree weather.

Neither. It’s why we’re mobile. We follow the seasons.

Depends if the 90 degrees is “dry heat” or if it is with humidity to match.

Still sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out what value of any kind this question has.

KEN LAILER

I’d take neither one of those choices. Above 90 degrees would be too hot and below 50 degrees may be too cool. I’d take constant average of 75 degree temp.

kat

Not a tough question at all. Lower than 50 is good. I can go outside and do things, dressed in layers. 85-90 and above is too hot, requires the air conditioner, can’t do anything outside as I have asthma and there’s only so much you can take off!

Tom H.

Would love to stay between 50-80. Don’t mind a little cooler, but I can’t take the heat. Dry, or otherwise!

Bill Bateman

It is easier to and less expensive to get warm than it is to cool off😎

Bob Weinfurt

Cooler works for me. I have MS and can’t take the heat.
