Heat and Humidity

Post Reply New Topic

I would like to live somewhere where you still get all four seasons, but have very hot summers and mild winters, so the lowest temperature lingers around 5-6C and doesn't really snow. Then I would be more relaxed. I don't mind the rain.

Why the Yukon? Have you considered the more temperate Northwest Coastal climates e.g., SE Alaska Coast, Washington, Oregon, Northern California (near some to the smaller cities/larger towns)? Coastal regions are usually cool; even cooler than the Yukon during their long Summer hours of daylight. "Yes, global climate change is bringing warmer Summers to Far Northern Regions."

Immigrating to Canada is difficult i.e., as it can be a difficult process to prove you have occupational skills that cannot be filled by Canadian citizens.

Again, plenty of places with (and even without) temperate climates were people with Aspergers are perfectly happy.

P.S. When I was young (long before the Internet-- which as we know, boosts our awareness of far-away places), I wanted to relocate out of Los Angeles to that remote NorthWestern region.

What really helped change my mind (partly in thanks to my Aunt & Uncle; longtime residents of Portland, Oregon (who were aware of rural prejudices)) is that small rural areas are weary of outsiders, offer very little in the way of recreational, cultural and dining opportunties, and hence many residents have "too little to do" (the adage, "the idle mind is the devil's playground" comes to mind).

Hence many towns (even in Whitehorse, Yukon-- their largest city/Provincial Capital) are well aware of the "rough and rugged" lifestyles, As I can personally imagine can be "very scary" to an adult with Aspergers. In other words, this is one type of isolation that is not good; even by the wishes of those on the Autism Spectrum?

By any chance, did you watch the 1990s CBS TV Series 'Northern Exposure?' This was a quirky, funny, well thought-out series. I knew that as small Alaskan towns go, the ficticious Alaskan town in the series was "the Riviera" by comparison to other towns (ficticious is the operative word here). Personally, I'd be uncomfortable travelling by float-plane to "civilization" the float-plane pilot in the TV series offered travel to and from Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Juneau.

Any alternate locations in mind for relocation?

Thank-you

Heat gives me headaches and stomachaches if it's too much.
