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).

Yes. It's actually the main factor in why I'd like to move from where I am currently. It's unbearably hot, and every time a hurricane forms, it's basically pointing towards my house. I'm going somewhere further north.

Lmao your story is the opposite of mine. I moved several years back because I was tired of being in a dark winter hellscape for half the year.

But I mean I suppose winter was somewhat tolerable. Alternatively, I could never imagine living in wildfire land and constantly worrying about whether or not my place is going to burn down.

In most cases (aside from contiguous first in Canada) you can evacuate a town over. If your property is well managed you'll be fine.

Also sweaters and blue light lamps exist

And don't forget your vitamin D. Most don't realize you need it as a supplement in Canada winters period, even if you get outside regularly. It can be a major contributor to winter blues.

Ha, yea I guess the grass is always greener. I just can't physically handle this heat and humidity combo. I hated it 30 years ago when it wasn't even this bad.
