What's your preferred climate to live in, For me it would have be a Subtropical Arid or Semi-Arid climate (like say the Inland of Southeast of Australia or Western Deserts of North America) with low humidity. I can't cope with Hot Humid weather very well and colder weather plays havoc with my sinuses, throughout winter here my nose is clogged up a lot. The really hot dry summers do not bother me so long as I lived in a house with cooling.

If I can't move to USA and live in a place like Palm Springs, Phoenix, Tucson or Las Vegas. I would choose to live in the Mallee Country of Australia (around Mildura) or the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.


Sorry to tell you this but the wheet belt and Mildura have really differant weather.

I can't beleive anyone actually would want to live in my area. The weather is awful.

I want to live somewhere cold. Preferably with lots of water and snow.

I don't really like the climate here. Winters are okay... not quite cold enough in general (though there are nice cold snaps here and there, like the one now.) But the summers are too much for me.
that exactly describes the climate here where I live [in Brisbane Australia] i hate our summers here Jan to February high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms ,I would like to live somewhere cooler.

Every time I go out into the cold, I feel like I'm going to get frostbite.


I get the winter blues and I have to moisturize four times a day to keep my skin hydrated, I feel more active and happy in the summer.

Interesting, I was actually thinking about moving to Brisbane, I don't think I would mind the humidity, I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that if you lived somewhere cold like England.

I actually agree that Brisvegas sucks bollocks. You would be better off in a southern city. I will swap my location for England.

Well I have heard that it's easier to become licensed to work in Brisbane because you only need an ABN and a blue card whereas in cities like Sydney, someone told me you need a licence to even pour a coffee. Plus I've heard the wages are better in Brisbane and there's more potential above the tropic of the capricorn in mining towns and flood areas.

However I don't think I would mind living in Brisbane, it has a low population compared to London, looks warm and it isn't a long drive from the gold coast plus roads are small in England and a gallon of petrol costs £6 here.

If you want jobs but don't mind the geographical isolation..... Look into Adelaide, Darwin and Perth. Adelaide is so desperate for wirkers they are advertising in windows for employees. They are even offering full traineeships for the mines. It is employment mecca here. Brisvegas is only good if you like the nightlife really.

Sounds good, I wouldn't mind living somewhere that is relatively isolated, England is a very congested populated country and Australia seems very relaxed and easygoing compared to it, I have also heard that the work hours are better in Australia.

I will speak from the Adelaide perspective because that is wgere i live. We have a city here of over 6 million people. 15% is first and secind generation english. 60% if first and second gen other countries. 15% is aboriginanies. The rest is white Aussies.

Something that stays between slightly warm & slightly cool all year round & does not get very humid & damp. I have problems with weather extremes & inconsistency. I'm not sure where that ideal place would be but I know it's NOT in south Louisiana. The weather here is very hot & humid in the summer & during the winter it rapidly switches from hot & humid to cold & damp for a couple days to a week & then it goes back to hot & humid for a week or so & the bipolar cycle continues. The only time the weather is really nice here for for more than a couple days is when a hurricane is coming.

Sounds like England would be ideal for you, season changes are very evident here.

Sounds lovely, I know that Perth has something around 50% British so I guess more and more British keep heading to destinations like Perth, I guess there is more employment in Adelaide because perhaps more skilled people head for places like Sydney, Perth and Brisbane since they are the tourist hotspots.
