My ideal weather would be hot and sunny. I think my body is accustomed to living in humid 100° climates. There are many ways to cool off when it’s scorching hot. You can run under a hose, sit under a tree or run a hose under a tree and sit. It is easier to cool off in the heat than to warm up in the cold. I also enjoy hurricanes, only because they are easy to survive.
Other natural disasters, like tornadoes and earthquakes, don’t give much warning in advance.
A hurricane gives you the decency of at least a few days’ warnings. I think my ideal weather would be Louisiana weather. There are cooler places, but they come with worse natural disasters or the hassle of dealing with snow and ice.

My ideal weather type is the kind of cold, windy and overcast that would drive most people insane from lack of sunlight experienced and nippiness. It may not be the most common kind of weather to love, but getting to, or below, 65 with nothing except gray ceiling above is joyous to me. No sweating, a nice, dry gust of wind? The only things necessary to make chilling outside actually chill.
As far as weather to survive however, I think the warmer climates are the way to go. Regardless of how much I love a good, abnormally frosty Louisiana winter’s day the frostbite would take me in a matter of days. As far as natural disasters go, I think earthquakes seem survivable. The ground moves. Most of the time the building doesn’t fall over. Spooky.

I think my ideal weather would be leaning toward the colder side. I feel like I sleep a lot better when it’s cold since I can get all bundled up and cozy. Plus I get to wear my favorite jackets and sweaters.
I’ve never been a fan of the heat, maybe partly because I lived on an island by the equator where our only seasons were summer and rainy summer). I also took a motorcycle trip through Texas and New Mexico in the summer and I was just cooking under the sun.
I’d really like to live somewhere that gets snow, too. I say that having only seen snow (real snow, mind you) once in my life, so I don’t know how annoying it actually is to deal with, but it looks pretty and I want it. As long as I don’t have to drive in it, anyway.

My ideal weather conditions would be akin to the weather in Washington State, I think. I’d like to live somewhere moderately temperate versus the weather being severely inconsistent, like it is in Louisiana.
Lately, I’ve been really into breezy and misty weather. It’s very serene and calming to my soul. I would like a bit of shock every now and then though.
The occasional earthquake followed by a tsunami, while I’m sure would be quite traumatizing, would probably be my ideal natural disaster setup. I honestly believe that I’m just really into water-based weather phenomena. If it includes water, I’m definitely down. An accurate way to sum up my ideal weather with a cinematic reference would be to say that I want “Twilight” weather with a hint of “San Andreas”.
