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).
But 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. We always appreciate comments. Thanks!
90 or above as long as there’s a/c
And stuck in the RV all day long
The problem is, my wife would choose the opposite! So, we pick places in between.
Would prefer 50-80 degrees. That being said if I only had 2 choices I would take 50 or lower. I can always have a fire in the woodstove, wrap myself in a blanket, throw on a sweatshirt and the dreaded socks! But there is only so much I can take off!
Exactly my thoughts!
I’m in 100% agreement. We’re native Kansans so blistering Heat means hiding indoors with the A/C 6 months of the year but the 6 months of cold means a nice fire in the den fireplace or fire ring at the campground.
By my way of thinking, heat is uncomfortable but cold hurts.
Definitely the lower end of the scale. Love summertime heat, but it is that changing of the seasons that makes the summer so special.
I love hiking in 40-60 degrees. While I enjoy the heat, 90 degrees and above, it’s just too hot to do more than sit on the deck in the shade.
NO
Well! There is NO right answer. I am originally from Ohio and moved to Florida more than 40 years ago, we spent most of our working years down here with blistering humid hot summers which last 6-7 months. Now that we are retired, we get the H outta here for 3-4 months. We much prefer temps in the 70’s which is why we and 10’s of thousands of Floridians do our migration North every year. And millions of Northerners come down here every Winter. So your poll is seemingly useless.
The goal is 65-75.
Not a very accurate pole. Me and most others would prefer the left out answer, over 50 under 90.
None of the above but somewhere in the middle.
Agree
Yep!!
Actually I prefer 70, however that was not an option. I’ve all ways said I can put on enough clothes to stay warm but can’t take off enough clothes to stay cool. Even in my birthday suit I’d be hot at 90. Plus as a former red head I would sun burn like that. Lol
If too cold you can always put on layers to keep you warm, sorta hard to remove any more once you are naked when you get too hot. Then you are vulnerable to full body sunburn, OUCH!
I would like the over 90’s best since it is always cooler while I’m out on on the water in my kayak, fishing. It’s amazing how the time goes by; it’s gotten so that I don’t even mind getting skunked it’s so enjoyable. I can’t see myself sitting out on a frozen lake in an ice fishing hut having such a time.
Any temp under 80 is cold to me. That’s why I live in Arizona.
I’m with you, I live in Yuma year round.
This is one poll I refuse to answer – because neither choice is a good option for us mobile RVers.
Seriously, when the ideal temperature is exactly half way between those two, why not a third option of between 60 and 80 degrees? We are mobile. Can move from place to place. We escape the below 50 degree and above 90 degree weather.
We travel year round to achieve this 60 to 80 degree “ideal temperature” range. Northeast in summer. Home in the Upper Cumberland Plateau for spring & fall. Winter in Florida.
How amongst a bunch of mobile RVers would this question be applicable – without the mid-range option?
I dislike being cold, probably at least partially because I grew up with warmish (85°F, or greater for the daily high) weather from late spring to early fall. So, I picked 90°F as my answer.
I prefer the 60-90 degree range, but that was not an option.
I would prefer the daily temp to be between 50 and 70, This was not an option so I picked 50 and under as I don’t like the heat.
Either would actually be ok as long as it was in an area of low humidity!
Absolutely agree. For us, high humidity areas are to be avoided if at all possible.
I voted for under 50. I love to be outside and you can dress properly for cold weather, but when it gets hot outside there’s no way to stay cool.
neither. but we like it warmer more than not.
Whats the humidity? So humid you can’t breathe. Thats why I don’t do Florida or Alabama. Just returned from Arizona where almost every day it started out freezing and got to low 60’s. Not really ideal temp either. We’ll never be satisfied
Well since I have about a 10 degree comfort zone, 65-75, neither option is good for me. If I had to choose I would go with the colder option as I do not tolerate heat very well. And I totally agree with other posters about the high humidity. No way!
I’d say under 50. You can add clothing to warm up, you can only remove so much before it becomes illegal to be outside.
I like being warm, but you can always put more clothes ON..and only take so much OFF (and when I do, THAT, my friends is NOT a pretty picture!)
🤣 me to but I don’t care.
I would love to have a year round temperature that is close to the winter temperatures of Yuma Arizona!
I have been hit since the day I was born and lived in FLA 52 years. I always say if you are cold put more on. I can only take so much off!!!
Neither some where around 70 to 80 would be my sweet spot.
Absolutely
Perfect weather 68 degrees.
But that’s why we went full-time, to follow the seasons and not put up with the extremes.
Over 90? How horrible! I can always add a layer but when do you do when you’re in shorts and sweating?
I’ve always said I would rather have colder weather than hot. If you’re cold,you can always add clothes. But if you’re hot, you can only strip so far before you get arrested. Actually, most full timers are “chasing 70” as the expression goes.
I didnt reply to the poll because I like it between 60-80, which is what keeps me living in the San Diego area. I can go anywhere else from here.
One can dress for the cold, but not for heat. And outside work and exercise are doable when temperatures are below 50. Not so much above 90.
Back in my college days when “streaking” was a fad. Ask George Costanza about “shrinkage” in cold weather. Enough said.
I hated your choices. I hate both. I tell people I am not a snow bird. First I am a full time moving every 2-4 months. I am a sun bird chasing sun and 75/80F. Of course it doesn’t always work out. I don’t want 90 with humid. 🥵 We did Wyoming (Glendo) during heatwave had over 90 for 6 weeks but with very low humidity. It was hot but felt fine in the shade. When working the constant light wind was nice.
