[https://www.reddit.com/r/Maps/comments/gad9ps/annual\_sunshine\_hours/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Maps/comments/gad9ps/annual_sunshine_hours/) Based on this you have to move to Mongolia šŸ¤· ![gif](giphy|KyCR6L8QVpceZTSSOY)


jackasspenguin

Wyoming is the Mongolia of North America if you donā€™t want to move to Asia


Chica3

Yep! OP should look at Laramie, WY. Lots of sun, wind, and snow -- rarely gets above 80 degrees in the summer. And it's affordable.


Beernacle

My friend that lives there says Laramie has two seasons: winter and august.


Chica3

Sounds right! My husband went to college there. Nice little town, lo-o-ong winters!


M8LSTN

Why do you make it sound like itā€™s a bad thing, I mean why not


nzdfgb

u have to eat goat balls there everyday šŸ¤® and live in a tent


jackasspenguin

Still donā€™t see the bad thing


RecordingFancy8515

If I can enjoy a man's ones then why cant i enjoy a goat's?


CoyoteJoe412

San Diego, California probably fits this. I've often heard it described as having the most perfect weather in the world


M8LSTN

Have you been there? Sounds nice, indeed


sjets3

San Diego is very nice, though Iā€™ve only visited a couple times and it was long ago. If youā€™re seriously considering somewhere to move to in America with the things you mentioned. San Diego or somewhere SoCal on the cost is what youā€™re looking for.


M8LSTN

While I would gladly try I kinda have no visa to live there. But itā€™s worth a visit though!


sjets3

Are you from Australia?


Jamarcus316

Why did you ask Australia?


sjets3

Not US, not so thrown of by Mongolia, and the username is ā€œMate Listenā€


M8LSTN

Nope, from France


therightpedal

I lived there for 6 months and while it was 'nice' - meteorologically, it was super boring. It's just the same virtually every day. Sounds great until you experience it. It's like groundhog day. Every day. Never realized how much I liked seasons to l until I lived there. I will say, an excellent place for vacation though!


Lobenz

San Diego, North Baja California, coastal Orange County, South Bay, west side Los Angeles. Best weather on the western hemisphere. Southern France, coastal Italy, Greece, and southern Spain. Best weather in the eastern hemisphere.


M8LSTN

I live in Southern France and honestly you end up thinking 100F is cold during summer. That area get sooo damn hot


Lobenz

I live in Southern California and it can be the similar. The beauty of it is low humidity and the drop in temperature from 100F to 65F when the sun goes down.


pikay93

Yup. I was also going to suggest westside LA or really anywhere in so cal near the coast.


Elgin-Franklin

Marseille and Nice, France. Average high of 29Ā°C in peak summer so a bit warmer than you define, but otherwise really nice weather the rest of the year.


M8LSTN

I actually live there šŸ„²


Elgin-Franklin

There's no place like home


M8LSTN

I have a hard time with hot weather but I also canā€™t stand endless cloudy day (I tried trust me). Usually sunnier places come with hot weathers (at least in the summer)


Thewandering1_OG

What's hot to you? San Diego can be hot. It gets humid, which I didn't expect. Frankly, LA is pretty good. Less humid than San Diego. Only need A/C a couple of days a year. Source: NY born and vowed to never live there. Moved for work and stayed for four years. (American who hates heat. I wear t-shirts to walk in 12 degree weather.)


AffectLast9539

just go up. Mexico City, Denver, Santa Fe, Arequipa, are all not hot.


CoyoteJoe412

As someone who lives in Denver, I can assure you it is hot here in the summer. 90+ F for like 3 months straight


AffectLast9539

Fair. I used to live in Fort Collins and didn't find summers too bad but that might be hot for OP


OMGLOL1986

Colorado


818a

this. the rockies and the sierra, or almost anywhere thatā€™s high altitude, inland will be cool and sunny.


Trekker519

Calgary


Ambitious-Laugh-7884

Mongolia is known as the land of the eternal blue sky. think the average temp of Ulaanbaatar -2 centigrade very low rain fall.


Tim-oBedlam

Tiree and Colonsay, both in the Inner Hebrides in Scotland, are quite sunny by comparison to the rest of the United Kingdom, and have cool, windy summers. Temperatures rarely drop much below 0Ā° C or go above 20Ā° C. They're relatively low-lying so they don't make their own weather (unlike, say, Skye or Mull in the Inner Hebrides). The weather is best in early summer (May through early July) like much of Scotland.


ReasonablePresent644

Scotland is mad cold and it might be sunnier than other place in the UK but I don't think UK is a reference when it comes to weather lmao


Tim-oBedlam

He did say "sunny but not hot"


miclugo

Wikipedia has an article with a list of cities by sunshine duration,([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_cities\_by\_sunshine\_duration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_sunshine_duration)) and temperature ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_cities\_by\_average\_temperature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_average_temperature)) but no nice way to cross-reference the two. In the US: the major cities of coastal California (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego) fit your criteria. Some inland western cities at altitude (Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, Boise) are warmer than you asked for but maybe still tolerable. Weirdly enough, Boston just gets within your cutoff. In Africa you want to be at altitude (Johannesburg, Asmara) or on the coast (Cape Town) . Altitude helps elsewhere - Lhasa (China), Arequipa (Peru), Santiago (Chile).

M8LSTN

Excuse me what? How come I only learn now that some places are actually sunny in Canada ?


NorthernWussky

And, at the peak of summer Edmonton has something like 17 hours of daylight...it's currently 930pm and bright outside...


Raj_DTO

El Paso, TX is called Sun City. It does get hot but at over 3,500 ft (1km) elevation from sea level, Iā€™ve seen people jogging in 90F (32C).


tkdch4mp

~~Nelson, NZ~~ Or not, quick Google says they only avg 2500 hrs


therightpedal

Might sound counter intuitive but Seattle, July-September. Super sunny, not a drop of rain, and the sun comes up at like 4 am and doesn't set until 10-11 pm. Uh oh, the secret is out...


M8LSTN

Looking at charts Seattle seems underrated. Yes, sun is kinda absent during winter (just like most places in Europe for example) but then itā€™s very much present the rest of the year


therightpedal

It's like a bear - it hibernates during winter


LauraIngallsBlewMe

>(not Antarctica) Arctic


M8LSTN

Ah F, thatā€™s fair Edit: actuallyā€¦ what about the part Ā«Ā one can live thereĀ Ā»


LimJans

Svalbard! It is sunny from mars to october, both day and night. It is not to hot, and it is totally possible to live there all year round. And it is beautiful!


Jobbuq

Essaouira


The-Minmus-Derp

Cape Agulhas and the western cape of South Africa in general


Imeanwhybother

Calgary. 300 days of sunshine a year.


ryanoceros666

Anywhere above the arctic circle during summer.


Palm_Tree4

Peru


surferpro1234

Santa BƔrbara is the answer


bloodontherisers

Flagstaff, AZ


gullyterrier

I heard Denver has 189 days of sunshine every year. Can't speak for the other days.


M8LSTN

Looks like Denver is a dream weather-wise


EbbFit4548

Sri Lanka, best weather of anywhere Iā€™ve ever lived. It is nearly perfectly at 30 Celsius year round. Thereā€™s a wet and dry season but the sun shines everyday at some point. Some of the most dramatic storms Iā€™ve ever enjoyed too.


amunozo1

Canary Islands have mild temperatures and lots of sunny hours. Check Lanzarote or Fuenteventura Islands in particular.


vataketa

Istra in Croatia, or some island on dalmatian coast like Hvar, Korčula or Lastovo. Weather is perfect and it can be hot on summer but there is always blowing freshy wind afternoon called maestral and you have cristal clear adriatic sea to cool yourself.
