The Most Comfortable Places to Live in the United States
As someone who’s always been fascinated by maps and geography, I’ve previously explored the concept of climatically comfortable areas for humanity. In my earlier work, I attempted to create a global map showing regions with optimal conditions for human societies to flourish. Building on that interest, I recently came across an intriguing visualization that offers a more localized perspective on climate comfort in the United States.
This new map, created by the team at MyPerfectWeather.com, shows the number of comfortable temperature days per year across the U.S. What’s particularly interesting about this map is that it’s interactive, allowing users to select different temperature ranges for visualization. As an example, I’ve chosen temperatures between 17–30°C (63–86°F) as the range I consider most comfortable for humans.
