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 would love to leave the south for cooler climates but I have too much family here so heat stroke it is.

    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.

    Move sooner than later, before folks catch on that it isn't getting colder

    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.

    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.

    Yes! Especially now that climate change is starting to have a serious impact. If it family truely loves me, they'll come visit.

    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.

    Sure, why not? Everyone has their own reasons for moving and climate contributes to an area's quality of life.

    When I moved from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest, the benign climate here was a factor. Didn't want to live somewhere where it was blazing hot every day for months, where it was a steam bath all summer or where I had to shovel snow every winter.

    Weather wasn't the only reason I moved from New Jersey to California, but it was one of the top three. Seasonal depression is a real thing and I definitely had it.

    Absolutely could be. I've thought about moving just to get away from the winter ice where I live; I'm a delivery driver so it becomes a major occupational hazard.
