What's your ideal perfect day? <Weather wise>

Post Reply New Topic

Since weather is a special interest I am weird this way.

A perfect day is sunny around 85 degrees farenheit with low humidity.

But I am fascinated by extreme weather, I get an an adrenilan rush from blizzards, severe T-Storms etc. This creates an internal conflict. I am more aware then most of what mayhem, death and destruction these events cause. An perfect example was superstorm Sandy in 2012. We were the worst hit area. Since most people in the region had not lived through anything that intense they had no idea of what was about to hit them but I had a pretty good idea. So I was both scared and exited because so many unusual atmospheric conditions had to align just right for the event to to occur exactly like it did.

I prefer warm, sunny weather.

I remember being really excited for Sandy (nj shore)so much so we had a party for it... but then when I realized the aftermath I felt terrible... but I do still love storms...

I thought my ideal day was kinda rare, but not here... Im wanting about mid to low 60s, totally overcast with low light grey cloud cover... the kind where its still bright out bit totally overcast... probably even lightly raining... the sorta day you probably wore something a little too light cuz the seasons changing and your just a little cold in the nose and fingertips... in the woods walking... its mid to late october....

I prefer cool, damp, dim/low-light, misty overcast weather, around 16C.
I'm sensitive to heat and light, so this is gentler and more comfortable for my body and thus decreases my threat response. It also allows clothing that covers me up which I also prefer. Aesthetically the light is often of the white spectrum, which saturates colours and makes things appear richer. When I am in the wild places, the mist moving through the landscape, the trees and mountains, is nice atmospherically.

Anything without wind. I'd rather it be raining than moderately windy. Windy conditions lead to me struggling to function and walking with my head down.

17-20 C, light wind, sunshine alternating with clouds, - a rod and a nice stream, or a good piece of coast.

68 degrees F, very mild lukewarm breeze, fair skies, some shady spots.
