Which cities in the US have the best year-round weather (sunny and warm)?

I live in Puerto Rico and it fits the bill almost perfectly.  It's an island in the Caribbean where it is sunny almost every day and the lowest the temperature ever gets is around 70 degrees Farenheit.  Since PR is a "commonwealth" of the United States, you do not need a passport or immigration documents or any such thing.  There are two official languages here: Spanish and English.  Almost everybody speaks Spanish and quite a few people know some English as many PRicans have lived in New York.  There are occassional hurricanes but I've weathered them and as long as you're careful about where you choose to reside (not in a valley where floods can reach you, for instance or not right on the beach) they're no big deal.  There are about 4 million people on the island, which is 100 miles long by about 40 miles wide, but most of them reside in the Metropolitan area near San Juan.  If you don't like big cities, move further away from the metro area and you'll be fine.  There's a tropical rainforest here (El Yunque) and many outdoor opportunities.  Additionally, you're ALWAYS within driving distance of a tropical beach.  Property can be cheap, depending on where you're looking to purchase at and so can the cost of living.  \n\nFR

Miami is hip and sexy. tampa is fun, orlando is busy, and well thats it. san fran is nice for indie culture, and gayness, san diego i dunno. l.a is superficial, and compton and watts, stay away from there! Arizona has lots of indie things going on there.

New York City. I grew up in NYC. Have spent some time in Hollywood as well, and it's very different. I enjoyed it, but it isn't the same -actually Los Angeles is very spread out but Hollywood is just a small part of it. New York is spread over 5 boroughs, all of which are part of NYC so I'd have a lot more choice of where to live. Culturally New York is the best place to be (even though I don't quite concur with Woody Allen's assessment that the only cultural advantage LA has is that you can make a right turn on red). There are some things about Hollywood/LA that are nice (like the fact that you can go sunbathing on the beach in January), but even in winter, NYC would be the place I'd want to live.

I've only lived in the USA, and I love it here. I have lived in various cities and states, and never regretted any of it.  I have traveled to most of the states, and find that each state has something beautiful to offer.  Whether you like snow and cold, hot and dry, hot and damp, mild temperatures all year 'round... we've got it all!     I have traveled to Canada on rare occasion, and felt it was much like the US, only if you are looking for warm temperatures all year 'round, I really doubt Canada can help you out there!  :D

The San Francisco Bay Area is beautiful that time of year.  The weather is mild, most of the days are clear and you can have any setting you want within miles of each other.

I'm originally from the north of England. The weather there is usually pretty mild but it can swing from being severely cold in the winter to being unbearably humid in the summer. That means that the average person has to own a lot of different clothes to deal with different weather. In winter we would wear long coats usually with some form of hood or carry an umbrella as a matter of course in case it rained. Sometimes it  rains there for days at a time and it can be very drizzly or very heavy. In summer everyone wears light clothing and on the hottest, most humid days we would end up wearing shorts and very light shirts. We took going outside for granted. It was normal to want to be in the fresh air!\n\nI lived in San Francisco for three years. The weather there is an almost constant 55 degrees. This means having a smaller amount of clothing and only needing some sort of jacket for the slightly colder winter days. Most of my clothing consisted of shorts and light, short-sleeved shirts. At the weekends the parks and public recreation areas would be completely full of people. The beaches around the area always filled up pretty quickly, even in the fall.\n\nI currently live in Las Vegas. The weather here affects every aspect of our lives. Because the temperature often reaches above 100 degrees, sometimes as high as 125 degrees, people tend to avoid going outside for long periods. People literally get in their cars to go somewhere inside where it's cool, get on with their business, and then get back in the car and go home. Any outdoor activity can be quite unbearable. Parks tend to be crowded in the early hours and after 5:00pm. It is insane to be outdoors in the mid-day heat. Drivers here tend to be on the insane side. People drive way too fast and I believe it has a lot to do with the unbearable hear. Sitting in a car can be most unpleasant, especially one that's been sitting in the sun for a few hours. Another way that people are affected here is because of the dryness. There is usually almost no humidity at all and coupled with the dust this makes for a very bad situation if you suffer from allergies. I've had a few reactions myself and I never suffered before. One way of avoiding the heat in the city is to make day trips to surrounding areas such as Mount Charleston where it tends to be 10-20 degrees cooler. I have to wear formal clothing for my job and I hate it. There are days when it's like sitting in a bath after I've been outside for a considerable time. My boss refers to it as, "sweating bullets." The heat makes for expensive living too as air conditioning is constantly on, in the office, at home, and in the car. During the winter in Las Vegas the temperature can be quite bearable an not too cold. This is when the parks see the most use and people will actually spend more time outside. It's actually exciting when it starts to rain, although we suffer from serious flooding in winter and people die.\n\nI have a couple of friends who are Canadian and they tell me stories of having to switch on their car engine block heaters to prevent damage. I'm sure there are areas in the north of the USA and Canada where it's normal to wear a coat everywhere they go and to want to be indoors for completely the opposite reason that we do. When I was in Chicago I found it interesting how my ears actually burned from being outside. I don't think I've ever experienced temperatures quite that low anywhere.\n\n--\nsf

Arizona is the current sunniest state with 242 days of sunshine (90% of the year) in Yuma.\n\nRainiest state depends on whether you are looking for inches or days.  For inches, Washington State takes the top spot with Quinault averaging 140.22 inches.  For days of rain, Hawaii wins with one location on Oahu logging 247 consecutive days of rain.\n\nThe windiest state is a toss up between North Dakota and Wyoming.

very hard to say.  It just depends on the year.  As far as weather, I like May and June the best.

Take a look at this site.  You will need to specify dates and places\n\nhttp://www.weather.gov/climate/

Assuming you could emigrate there, Toronto and Vancouver are the best bets.  Vancouver has the best climate (think Seattle), Toronto is bigger and more things to do.

montreal canada, its the best compromise you can have.  In winter you can go ski and its not very far away, in summer we have a lot of festivals (jazz fest, just for laugh (comedy show)...)  we have a lot of trendy store.  It not a super big city like new york but it not a small village. the temperature is not too cold not too hot (-5 to 10 F with wind it can be lower a bit in winter and around 100 F in summer)

Besides the obvious San Francisco and New York City, try Iowa City, Iowa.  I know you are thinking "Iowa?  Isn't that where the farmers and hicks live?" but Iowa City is one of the most liberal and welcoming towns in the world.  Because it houses a huge and world renowned university, the population in Iowa City is very diverse and therefore, very friendly.

Alaska is beautiful. I was born and raised there. I live in San Antonio right now, with my husband who is in the military. As soon as he gets out we are going back home. Summers there are perfect (70-80 degrees)for fishing, hunting, tons of places to go 4-wheeling, but winters can get a little cold. But you have snow machining, snowboarding, and skiing to keep ya warmed up.

Vancouver, BC - clear, warm, and it was sunny all day.  Sun is going down but it was up in the 20s today.  Warm and beautiful here
