Do you think bad weather is a good reason for moving? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.

(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).

Did you move from hot to cold or vice versa?

Moved from England to Spain, so from wet, miserable and a little cold to sunshine-is-my-default and warm, verging on melting in August.

I also escaped the death spiral that is the British economy. Double win.

Isnt it like mid 40s in most parts of spain these days?? Spain still sounds quite hot.

It depends where you go, there is a wide range of temperatures between the north and south. North Spain is MUCH more pleasant temperature wise.

But yeah, in August, all of Spain is melting xD

I just know every la liga game has the commentators dying over how hot it is and theres drink breaks etc too.

Oh yeah, there's a lot of cultural adaptation to the heat. It's why siestas are a thing.

I’m in the same boat as the commentator. Moved from Phoenix to Chicago. I like seasons.
