Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.
(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).
I moved to get supposed better and warmer weather. Can’t tell you how much I despise summers now. The heat is relentless and I’ll be escaping back to “bad” weather whenever possible.

It’s a great reason. Especially with climate change.
I met someone the other day that said they moved from Portland to Cincinnati because of their climate change concerns.
Over the next 50 years, we’re going to see MILLIONS of people in the U.S. moving for the same reasons.
Because of the rising seas?
moreso due to heat and violent weather patterns like hurricanes imho. rising seas are coming, but the heat’s going to kill a lot of folks before.
Yes. That was one of the reasons for my move.
You’re talking about your local climate, not weather, which can change any day
Thanks for the reddit flashback
I just think the distinction is important. Especially because climate change deniers try to confuse people about the two terms.
All good, makes sense. Thanks for elaborating
I’d move to the south of my country just to escape the summer heat.

Do you think bad weather is a good reason for moving?
I’m probably not your target demographic (I live in a campervan) but I move regularly to follow mild weather.
Like a bird migrating depending on the weather! Love it
Move sooner than later, before folks catch on that it isn’t getting colder
It also gets cooler in the winter though. Much more chaotic weather in the future.
Yeah, it’s pretty normal and will become more normal as agricultural strain becomes worse in equatorial regions. I suspect it will depend on the immigration context of more livable countries, in which case you might have more community moving with you and you can struggle together in your new home.
I grew up in a region with extreme hot and extreme cold. After living many years in a milder climate, I think my family are all nuts for staying. Not the climate asshole for wanting to enjoy the outdoors.
I’m going to move next year, and the weather definitely is one of the reasons (not the main reason though). At least half of the year the temperature here is above 30°c, 60%+ humidity and basically no wind. I somewhat got used to it after a decade here, but I’m sure I’ll spend more time outside when I move away.
If you feel that the weather is affecting your day-to-day life for the worse, absolutely. You are not obligated to stay for family or for a job. Prioritise your health, you can always visit relatives.
I would love to leave the south for cooler climates but I have too much family here so heat stroke it is.
I think absolutely yes. I’d give up a lot to move to Finland or some shit just because the weather there sounds like haven to me. I live in the Middle East and it’s not as much the heat that kills me (it’s “only” a factor for about a third of a year and it sucks too of course) its the goddamn dust storms, I’m so sensitive to these things. I still have no idea why some people like living in deserts under a scorching Sun, with all the sand and dust in the air, it’s dreadful, not to mention the nature is super boring without proper fields, forests and rivers and stuff.
Please realize Northern European winters are… dark. It’s not the cold that matters much, it’s the darkness for months on end that can be seriously detrimental to mental health if you’re not used to it.
