Cool nights and warm mornings. Cali deserves to be at the top of the list!
born and raised in los gatos California, yes it is beautiful ! yes we have wonderful weather, however the quality of life depends on your bank account, extremely high cost of living !! Would love to stay forever just cant afford it anymore : (
its better than Hawaii because of the different seasons! who would just want one season? thats boring
I think California has the best, I've been here for my whole life
Rains for days on end in the winter and dry and brown in summer.

Paradise on the Gulf of Mexico, the Keys, and St. Augustine. No good if you need your long, icy winters.

I live here and if you like 8 months of winter then by all means live here!!! Summer is perfect but being cold 8 months sucks! It snows in May even June sometimes and then starts all over again in September...don't be fooled! Everything else is great except people not super friendly just luke warm...keep to themselves.
Colorado is the only state in the top 5 that has a very diverse, but still not extreme, climate! There is ALWAYS fun things to do no matter what season! The cost of living is mediant and the pay is above the federal average! The economy is booming and everyone there is VERY open minded!!! There could not be a more perfect place for a person that hates monotony!!!! THE LAND OF DIVERSITY!!!!!!!!

I went there in PHX. I know that there has very heat over 100's in summer. But I love AZ anyway.. there has very nice view and sunny. Awesome desert mountains! I can't believe it when we drove up to Flagstaff from Phx. there has green mountains because it is snow and high elevation, cooler. It is difference climate/weather between Flagstaff and Phx. Also Tucson. COOL!
WORSE WEATHER EVER 100+ STARTED IN APRIL THIS YEAR & IT"S 115 today in AUGUST...YUCK!! I lived in CA- great weather but Crowded, I lived in UT-no thanks & in NM Biggest Losers ever....So I would say CA is the best

the only real threat is a hurricane, though its been years since a major one hit. schools are often cancelled when they predict any snowfall except in the mountains. areas like Greensboro hardly see any severe weather

I love there! because of Amazing weather. I was there last May and it has nothing hot or cold. Just nice climate! Dry/low humidity. Some moist but not a lot. But I went up moutains oh my gosh there very cold and breeze.. air thin that i cant breath! ABQ is best ever!
Went with a friend to NM for a summer (Aug) horse show...could'nt believe it, it was very pleasant in ABQ in heat of summer, and the nights cool off too. Winter can be mild or real cold, but tends to be more mild as a rule. Love that the sun shines all year. Was told by many there that their weather is perfect!!!

The weather is very unpredictable, but I love change! The seasons are just beautiful, all of them!
It some states like Hawaii there is only summer. In Alaska It's always winter. Missouri has all 4 seasons and a beautiful autumn.
I don't get how Kansas is #3 and Missouri is #44 they are right next to each other and they get the 100% same weather. It makes no sence. But Missouri is the best!
Here in Missouri it's great because we don't like Alaska only get winter or Texas, can't cool down but just right, in the middle.
Spring and Fall are okay, but it is cold and brutal in the winter, and nasty and terribly humid in the summer! Not the best place to live.
Not bad in spring and fall but hell in the summer and nasty during the windter!

Winter: have your window open and see the sun. Now try walking out there. Feel the coldness. Suns out but its a nice cold sometime and sometimes freezing
Las Vegas is where i lived. If your not use to no grass and sun everyday also dry heat sometimes not the place.
Rain: its like coming once in a life time. that's what it feels like. my aunt use to seat in the rain rocking and with her beer in her hand. because it didn't rain often.
Nevada has wonderful weather but in summer very hot. However, during night heat down warm/cool. I went there in summer but i dont know about a year how weather is. I heard people said that very nice winter is mild....I can feel that... There has LOW humidity and dry that I love. I can tell you I hate high humidity where I use to live..I really want to move to west where desert is like
AZ, NV and NM. These states are best...

Summers are over the top hot but beats New England Winters. Nine months out of the year are tolerable in Austin.
HOT HOT HOT don't like this state at all !!! Not recomend lots of huricans tunders if you like seat in the house all year long you will love this state!!!
It's too hot from April - October to even step outside. Then it's too cold the rest of the time to do anything. Worst state for weather. We are on water restrictions bc of no rain, all plants and grass are dead.
Gulf Coast is HOT in the summer; winter's mild, only last about a month, not really cold. Spring and fall beautiful. Inland, any climate you want. Ignore the current drought/wildfires--they're a rare phenomenon. Outside Houston pollution no problem. Check out the Hill Country for the best of scenery and climate.
Nice and hot durin' spring, good swimmin' wheather durin' Summer, cold enough and little enugh pollution to turn the color of the leaves on a tree, and not super cold durin' winter. Also, it rains enough so you don't need rain on your plants but doesn't rain to much.

Summer is about 90 with 90% humidity. Fall and spring are lovely. Winter can either be mild or horrible! BUT winter isn't as long as NE. Normal winters can be just a dusting of snow to 1-2". In 2009 Dec. it was horrible 4' of snow, blizzards, one snow storm after another and VA is not prepared to handle such storms.

I grew up in Bellevue. Summers are bliss, warm days cool nights. July and August are best! It does rain alot, yet it is so beautiful there it will take your breath away!
Can only speak for west of the Cascades, i.e., Seattle/Tacoma. Summers absolutely perfect--17 hours daylight, cool, clear, sparse rain. Winters the opposite--17 hours dark, days permanently overcast, dismal, rains constantly, suicidally depressing. Spring/Fall somewhere in between. If you can winter somewhere else, it's not that bad. Otherwise it sucks.
Specific to West of the Cascades: the weather is actually pretty rotten. unless you hate the sun to the point that you wish to neither see it nor any blue in the sky for about 7 months out of the year.
Isn't Seattle the lightning capital of America city wise, I know Florida is state wise.

Rhode island deserves more credit. Never as hot or as cold as neighboring areas, lacking much hurricane frequency, scarce tornadoes and floods, and minimal earthquake risk. Half the days are sunny and the others may have a passing shower. You're pretty safe here. Just don't be stupid!

Southern Indiana has a very American south climate. Four seasons, but moderate winters with little snow and early springs. Pretty nice climate, but the summer can be humid, oppressive, and seemingly endless. We've lived in Florida, NJ, Atlanta, Memphis, Cincinnati, Orlando, Sarasota, and the mountains of WV...and Southern Indiana climate is decent...only behind the Gulf Coast.
I lived there and was convinced it was The Rainforest. I would lie in bed and listen to the rain on the roof, drip drip drip. I returned to Arizona a year later. My horses thanked me, as they no longer were getting eaten alive by biting insects. The dampness there was hard to take.

PR has nice weather and of course no snow. It is hot and high humidity far away from beaches and mountains during summer. Around beaches there has a lot of breeze to beat high humidity and inland mountains are cool and warm. I tell you I am from there. During Winter amazing warm low humidity breezy. Take breath on beach Aaaah!

If you love the outdoors (hunting, fishing, snow activities, etc.) you are in HEAVEN! If you don't, you're in HELL! The views are the best in the world...go see the rest of the world, then Alaska. If you see it first you'll be disappointed in everything else!
