What locations in the continental US have the greatest number of days
with the high temperature in the 60 to 80 degree range per year? I
prefer this temperature as it is neither too hot or too cold. I would
like a list of as many places as possible (especially outside of
Southern California).A map would be helpful if possible. |

You'll need to keep to the northern part of the southern tier of
states, in order to keep it from getting too hot or too cold too
often.
Here are some places to consider, all of which have very moderate climates:
Hot Springs-Hot Springs Village, Arkansas
Carlsbad, New Mexico
Cherokee Village, Arkansas
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
Laguna Beach, California
Valencia, California
Mountain Home/Bull Shoals, Arkansas
Heber Springs-Greers Ferry Lake, Arkansas
Las Cruces, New Mexico
Paradise, California
Silver City, New Mexico
Salisbury, Maryland
Holiday Island, Arkansas
Eureka Springs, Arkansas
San Luis Obispo-Atascadero, California
Pismo Beach-Oceano-Arroyo Grande, California
Edenton, North Carolina
Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Paso Robles, California
Ojai, California
Paris, Tennessee
Woodbury, Tennessee
Salisbury, North Carolina
Murray, Kentucky
Let me know if that is the sort of list you were looking for.

Thanks for the suggestions!
However, Im looking for some numbers to go with them.
I have found number of 90 degree days (too hot), below 32 degree days
(too cold),heating and cooling degree days (most helpful so far). Im
looking for someplace where I can walk outside most days of the year
and go for a run or play tennis without sweating profusely or
freezing, hence the 60-80 degree daily high request. I want an eternal
spring/fall that exists outside San Diego Or as close to it as
possible.
Thanks again for the help!

pdunlap-ga,
All the places I listed have moderate climates that come pretty close
to your needs.
I'm afraid, though, that digging out the actual numbers would take a
lot more than $20 worth of effort.
You might want to have a look yourself, though. Here's a data summary
page for Hot Springs, Arkansas:
http://www.city-data.com/city/Hot-Springs-Arkansas.html
and around the middle of the page are graphs showing teh "Average
climate in Hot Springs, Arkansas".
You can see there are very few days with high temps below 60 degrees.
Yeah, it gets a little toasty in the summer, but then again, only
California is California, and you're not likely to find the very
narrow temperature ranges of San Diego in too many other places in the
world, let alone the US.
It's easy to view the graphs for the other cities on the list I
provided. Let me know if this information works for you.

Hi there,
I need more to work with. These are interesting places to look at but
it doesnt give me a systematic way to look for those exceptions to
"the south is hot north is cold". "Only California is California" isnt
very helpful. Example: Asheville NC is far enough south to escape the
harsh winters but high enough to have cool summers. There must be
other places that are like this.
Thanks Again!!!
