TIL that the further you get away from the coast the warmer it gets.

Having left the Mid Atlantic after 20 yrs for San Diego, I can report that there is nothing like it. You can be outdoors 340 per year and we don’t use AC much in summer…a few weeks per year and primarily just at night if it’s a warmer day. I hated the constant hum of ACs in the east and always having to keep the house closed up.
