Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

July and August are about the only times I actually like Southern California weather, and even then that's only during the day.  Too cold at night, and the rest of the year.

Compared to the Midwest, where Jul->Sep is horrible (and humid, and mosquitoes), but Dec->Feb is also horrible, I think I get the better end of the bargain weather-wise lol.

July to September this year was definitely remarkably warm and in many cases very humid. I don't love it, but I also think experience 2 years where every single day was 88-92 degrees and always 100% humidity, made these months here a little easier.. and either of those options is far better than 5 degrees with terrible windchill, snow and not seeing the sun for 29 out of 30 days. 

Ideally i'd like to live in Naples, Fl from mid-October to mid-April and the rest of the year in Cleveland. So basically here for baseball season, then Vanderbilt beach the rest of the year. 

Traffic is likely to be bad near any nicer place, and costs will be higher, demand and all that.

Traffic rarely impacts us here, even though it's "bad".  Even when we drove our friend to the airport a few weeks back at 5 PM, it was "tolerable", better than I expected really.  The side streets are usually OK unless there is construction.

And we avoid going out near 5 PM if we can.

Death Valley is in Southern California. Maybe that would suit you...

My wife and I did not care for the constant maritime haze over SD, and she didn't like how cool it was even during the day in May.  She said she wouldn't want to live near there.  I'm pretty flexible, but I do like blue sky and sunshine.  Usually.  Until it gets roasting.

That time of year is "May Gray" followed by "June Gloom". Where I am a little off the coast and with some small foothills in between me and the water, it ends up being cool and overcast in the morning but burns off by midday. If you are closer to the cast and without a barrier, it can persist most of the day. 

I actually love that time of year. Great weather for going to play golf in the morning when it's a little cooler and overcast, and then by the time the round is done it's beautiful and sunny and warm. Great weather to go hit up a brewery. 

Pictures from my friends, up the road a bit, in Punta Gorda Isles. One of the reasons we didn't buy in that community.

really like that area.. has GREAT water access from a lot of those homes.. but this is definitely the downside to that. 

This is US Route 41 in Punta Gorda, about 2 miles South from Charlotte Harbor. Lots of water.
