what cities have the best weather in the United States this is a question that shows
up more often than you'd think I mean like far more than my favorite question which is
did astronauts really drink Tang what is good weather that is obviously subjective everyone's
got their own idea of what good weather is Some People Want it above 80 degrees every
day and sunny and other people like myself like a solid low 50s day with a little bit
of cloud cover so how do you make a list of cities with the best weather we went by what
is closest to what most people think is good weather various Studies have shown that the
ideal temperature for humans to feel comfortable is between 72 and 75 degrees then we eliminated
the coldest three months and the hottest three months and looked at the average for the other
six months and ranked them by that we'll also look at some other weather related stats that
help make these places a dream for people focused on weather got it get it good let's take a look
number 10 Myrtle Beach South Carolina Myrtle Beach has a beautiful beach the city I'm not
too keen on my opinion the city kind of sucks once you get about three blocks from the ocean but that
doesn't stop tons of high school and college kids from invading the place every Spring Break
and summer those kids really aren't focused on the weather as much as they're focused on
the drinking and having a good time but drinking and having a good time most the times goes hand
in hand with good weather Myrtle Beach by itself is kind of a small City it has a little under 40
000 people in 2022 their whole metro area has less than 500 000 about 487 but that
population grows tenfold during spring break and the summer months a typical year there
they will see 40 days below freezing which is a lot for this list days above 90 degrees they
get about 45 of those on average sunny days they see about 217 of those every single year when you
take summer winter out of the equation their year-round average is 64 degrees
number nine San Francisco San Francisco's had so many problems in recent years people often
forget it's a really nice city with decent weather sure the fog rolls in
but it's still kind of decent the city of San Francisco has a little over 800
000 residents with the entire metro area have it about 4.7 million they don't have any days
below freezing in San Francisco days above 90 degrees they get about two or three a year
that's it and they get about 240 sunny days so that's not bad weather at all when you take out
the summer and winter months their average year-round temperature is about 64 degrees
number eight Oklahoma City Oklahoma who saw this one coming I can honestly say I've been
to Oklahoma City when it's been sweltering twice and another time when it was extremely cold and
there wasn't a leave for green grass anywhere it was sticks and dirt it seemed like but overall
they do have some good weather once you take out for the most part the winter months if you ever
do go visit Oklahoma City I would suggest the summer it does get pretty hot but there's a lot
of things to do there in the summer not so much in the winter unless you consider hanging out at
a diner all day complaining about the weather and the government then yeah sure go it's a lot they
do a lot of that there the Oklahoma City metro area has about 1.4 million residents and they
see about 66 days below freezing in about 41 days a year above 90 degrees that being said
they see about 220 days of sunshine when you take out the winter and summer months their
year-round average is 65 five degrees that's not bad most the year it's really nice there
number seven Monterey California if you don't know where Monterey is it's a little South of
San Francisco about 120 miles or two hours I lived there for five years and I gotta tell
you the weather was pretty Pleasant almost every single day the only real weather problem they have
there is they get a lot of fog that's usually burned off by one o'clock in the afternoon but
the mornings they can get a little chilly but most the days are just pleasant as this list
goes on you'll see why California has been so popular over the last 200 years almost it's the
weather Monterey is a perfect example the metro population of Monterey is about 432 000 residents
it's really not that populated they don't see any days below zero that's it no freezing and in case
you don't know freezing is normally considered below 32 degrees I know some people out there
think below zero means zero degrees no below 32 degrees is considered a light freeze when you
start getting into 24 degrees that's considered a hard freeze but Monterey just has Pleasant weather
we can almost take out the three months of winter in three months of summer because their average
year-round is about the same all year round but they only see about three days a year above 90
degrees that is not bad they see about 290 days of sunshine or at least partly cloudy but when
you do take out the summer and winter months their year-round average is 66 degrees that is not bad
number six Los Angeles Los Angeles another place that I lived pretty much most my life I lived in
the Los Angeles metro area in a little town called Redondo Beach if you're not from the
United States if you've never heard of Los Angeles actually you'd probably have to not be from the
planet to not hear about Los Angeles but it has almost 19 million residents in the metro
area Los Angeles has some of the best weather in the country and some amazing beaches from Malibu
all the way down to Redondo Beach and everything in between talking Manhattan Beach Hermosa beach
Santa Monica Pacific Palisades Zuma just stay out of Venice Venice sucks for some
reason everyone floods to Venice when they come to Los Angeles to go see the beach no don't it's
horrible Los Angeles averages zero days below freezing and about 21 days every single year
above 90. they get about 277 days of sunshine and their year-round average is 70 degrees
number five Atlanta Atlanta is known for its summer matter of fact there's a joke and I've
told it before here so forgive me if you've heard it before but there's a kind of a saying kind of
a joke in Atlanta they have two seasons summer and Christmas it seems to be hot there all the
time but they still get some cold spells the metro area of Atlanta is about 6 million residents and
they get about 43 days below freezing every single year but they get about 44 days above
90. you can expect to see little over 200 days of sunshine in Atlanta plenty of insects great
sweet tea and a year-round average of 69 degrees when you take summer winter out
number four San Jose California sandwiched between San Francisco and Monterey you have San Jose San
Jose is one of the most expensive cities to live in in the United States and I don't get it I mean
I know why they have tons of highly paid Tech workers that need homes and a lot of those jobs
are right up the road in Palo Alto Menlo Park Mountain View places like that San Jose is the
logical place for them to live they got money to burn so prices are going to go through the roof I
like I said I don't get it I've been to San Jose many times it's not that special San Jose isn't
really even close to any beaches they're not like right there you know you could head down to Santa
Cruz but that's like an hour away the prices in San Jose for rent and actually just buying some
real estate you'd think that they have miles and miles of beachfront property no they don't all
the problems they got you can't deny that they got good weather the metro area of San Jose has
a little over 2 million residents right now I actually saw one study that says it's 5
000 below 2 million and I saw another one that said it's about 2.1 so who knows at this point
they just grow so fast it's hard to keep up San Jose you will not see any days of
freezing and you'll only see about two days a year above 90 degrees they get about 257 days
a year of sunshine and their year-round average when you take winter and summer
out is 69 degrees but really that's kind of what it is that are during the winter too
number three San Diego this is the one that I thought would be number one on this list
I did a little research on this one I think what knocks them out of the top two is I learned this
on the National Weather Service they get hit by a little bit of hurricanes not the actual hurricane
that normally happens well South but they get hit with some tropical storms that are from
the hurricanes and that's a pretty ugly wind and rain and it gets a little freaky there sometimes
before you leave your comment I'm not saying San Diego is hit with hurricanes I gave that
same explanation one time before and some dude sent me a novel on how the last time San Diego
got hit with an actual hurricane was in 1858 I emailed bang said I didn't say it gets hit with
hurricanes I said they get some tropical storms off the Hurricanes then I got an all caps email
back it was something to the fact with well as a professional I would think you would make it clear
what you were saying to people so when you don't have misunderstandings like this it's like hey
Otto who told you I was a professional as you can imagine I got another all caps email back
but I won't get into that one but I will tell you he was under the impression I was 19 and
living at my parents house but San Diego has a population of just about 3.4 million residents
they don't get any days below freezing and they only get about three days above 90
degrees every year which I found surprising too this is where they shine they get about
265 days a year of sunshine you really don't have to take the summer or winter out of this
one either because it is year-round average of about 72 degrees really if you don't take
winter and summer out their average is 70 degrees but if you do it's 72 degrees
number two Honolulu Hawaii you know this one I could definitely see being there but I really
thought that the rain that they get which they get a fair amount I thought that would
have knocked them out but here they are they have far more sunny days than I thought and I
think a lot of that has to do with the tropical rainstorms they get they're like gone in an hour
and the rest of the day's Sunny that happens all the time really happens a lot in Central
America but Honolulu is kind of known for their beautiful beaches and their great weather they
do have some great weather they only have about 979 000 residents in the metro area the actual
City itself only has about 350 000. I should mention that the estimate for 2022 is just a
little over a million now in the metro area of Honolulu Honolulu doesn't see days below
freezing and they get about 25 days a year that are over 90 degrees they get about 273
days of sunshine if you take out the summer and winter their year-round average is 74 degrees
all right before we get to number one don't forget if you're moving to one
of these cities or any city in the United States there's a link for a website called
home and money in the description area below they can help you get in touch with
a local realtor wherever you want to move in the country they have a bunch of other
cool things on their website definitely check them out alright on to number one
and number one Santa Barbara California Santa Barbara is a great place to live probably been
there 40 or 50 times in my life and it has never been anything but like perfect weather I think the
coldest I've ever seen there was like 62 degrees their hot days are normally right around 81 or
82. beautiful Town beautiful ocean great beaches the type of place the local weatherman can like
pre-record a week's worth of weather forecasts and get away with it there was a movie called LA Story
with uh Steve Martin he did that to go away for the weekend with his girl and he did the forecast
for like Friday and Monday but over the weekend they had like the worst storm they'd had in years
the city of Santa Barbara isn't as big as I think most people think it is they've got a right around
90 000 residents in the city itself with the metro area only have it about 450 000 residents this is
another place that is extremely expensive to buy property in and that's how it is you have good
weather you have beautiful beaches it's gonna be expensive and the great weather they only average
about two days below freezing a year and they only get above 90 degrees about four times a year they
have 307 days of sunshine in Santa Barbara buy some sunscreen sunblock whatever you want when
you take out the summer and winter months in Santa Barbara their average year-round temperature is 74
degrees just like Honolulu but they get more Sunshine so that's how they get to number one
all right that's today's video hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got some
information of it now go out have a great day and be nice to each other
