Weather isn’t just temperature.

Bogotá has perfect temperature but is cloudier than Seattle.



Seattle has pretty good weather too, if you only consider temperature.


It is 40 degrees F right now… in mid May. And has been all month and basically all year since last November.

I don’t see how you can call that good temperature.


It was absolutely beautiful on Tues/Wed. High 50's and sunny. (Maybe I'm used to it, but 40s/50s in the spring when the sun is out is unbeatable).

IMO, Seattle has the best summers (save last years heat wave). Nice weather from May - September.


I moved here from Reykjavík, and I’m loving this spring.


Seattle has great weather. Less rain than Midwest and east coast US cities and never too hot or too cold.


Except the part where it's May and it's still raining this year, damnit.


Hopefully that helps the fires this year when it eventually gets hot, at the very least! It's nice to not have to worry about drought, as well. (That's a huge reason why I moved to Seattle from SF.)


> Seattle has great weather. Less rain than Midwest

I know someone who had a depressive episode after moving to Seattle because, "it's raining. It's just a thick, settling mist. But it hasn't stopped, for 100 days"


It gets too hot a couple weeks every year. 90F+ for days and even in the evening it doesn't drop that much which is rough when most people don't have AC.


Isn't it Medellín though thats known as the "city of eternal spring" because of the weather?


Guatemala has nice spring weather too because of altitude.

It ranges from +13C to +23C. With extremes being +7C or +28C depending on the time of the year.


Yes, Bogota is more much larger, more polluted, worse traffic, colder and at a high altitude (Medellin is about 1500m, Bogota 2600m).

It has rained pretty much every day this year in Medellin though. Still it's 20c Edit: Begins to rain


I am here as well. It looks like La Nina this year. Even though it has rained a lot the weather is still incredible. I originally come from Cape Town and Medellin is the most perfect weather I have ever lived in.
