Everyone has a different idea of what an ideal climate is. The average person likes a climate with low humidity and sunshine every day. Others like it mixed up so that boredom does not set in. The places with the best climate for most people lie between 30 degrees North and South of the equator.
Here is a listing of ten places in the world with ideal climates:
Santa Cruz, California is a small city on the coast that has very mild temperatures, so mild, that even the monarch butterfly chooses it for its overwintering site. It rarely freezes in the winter and the cool breezes off the ocean keep the temperature in the mid-70s whenever the sun shines.
NASA proclaims Costa Rica as the country with the healthiest climate. It is a tropical climate and is only 8 degrees from the equator. It has only two distinct seasons. Microclimates make the climate the healthiest.
People also find Hawaii to have pleasant weather conditions. It does rain there, but the freezing temperatures are not the norm. The warm temperatures make beach-going common and popular. The rains bring out many of the tropical flowers.
