Actually 40 °C is much hotter than that. Add 5 °F to your conversion. 40 °C is my maximum tolerance, not a degree more or less. This is why I can live in Houston but definitely not in Las Vegas or Phoenix. Some people move here for the heat. I wanna get out!

I was just wondering if Phoenix or Chicago are preferred.

Well it all comes down to what you're wearing doesn't it? You can always wear more clothing if you are chilly but when you're hot, once you've stripped down to nothing you have nowhere to go!

Hot weather is fine as long as you don't have to work out in it and can hang at the beach with a cool drink. But working in heat is murder.

I notice a lot of people claim they LOVE warm weather and then they go from their air conditioned houses, to their air conditioned cars and end up in their air conditioned offices.

I know that kind of "summer" weather well.

Well I know this might be a strange way of looking at it but you might be able to improve you mood by being thankful you're still in the Southern Hemisphere in December; 21-24 C forecast in December is still warmer than half of Florida, most of Texas and most places in the southwestern U.S. low-desert. Even if you were in Key West, they have an all-time record low of 40 F (4 C) that you could have been stuck in.

For myself I think I'd rather be in the Southern Hemisphere right now; even the crappiest December summer weather is better than our highs of -4 C and lows of -10 C.
another consolation is that MOST of the south coast of AUstralia will be just as cold, in some cases colder. But still, how lame. And guess what, the forecasts are getting worse and worse. What a surprise Bet the eskimo wannabees here will be rejoicing

Heat may be uncomfortable but cold is painful.

I would say Cape Hatteras North Carolina has the best optimal temperatures for human beings. Its far enough south to recieve warm Atlantic breezes and Gulf currents, but the fact that its surrounded by water would prevent the intensity of the swealtering summer heat typical of states in the southeastern U.S.

When the weather is hot, I actually come to live again. I can move freely without the constant pains from the cold of winter. I go out for LONG walks, go to the spray park or the swimming pool, sit on the deck, tan in the sun, etc. When it's cold, I feel like a prisoner.

I am the exact opposite. When it is hot and humid outside I feel lazy and lethargic. I spend most of my time indoors when possible during the heat of the summer. Anytime that the temperature gets above 80F is too hot for me.

You and me both plains, you and me both. I can deal with 80's as long as it's dry, but if it's humid...ack! I do feel very lazy most of the summer and the only time the weather is "nice" is at 6am
