If it gets below 65 I'm shivering.

I love the heat and I really don't mind being active in it. Summers are never hot enough for me up here.

I'm more west and more rainy than Seattle, but I do MUCH better in 90+ degree weather than I do in 50 degrees. Give me hot, dry weather, especially for working out!!

I grew up in the rain, and I'm so happy on those gray misty days! I like sun, too, but more than 3 days in a row of sun and I get agitated.

How funny! Me too. I start complaining when we have a straight week of sun. And I grew up in NY, where the summers are hot and humid. Pacific NW weather and I are positively MADE for each other. I love the weather here.

Not the heat!
Being a true Washingtonian (the state!), I cannot take the heat... more than 70 and I'm by a fan and have a cool one in my hand!

I grew up in Central Alberta, but much prefer the PNW weather (Portland). Add me to that bouquet that wilts in the heat. I'm ok up to 80 if humid, up to 90 or 95 if dry. I don't like hot & humid. Sunny & cold is good but so is damp & mild.

I can't find the link now, but recently Mo Bike Fed had a survey called "Are you a winter cyclist?" There were 2 questions. 1) What is the lowest temperature you are comfortable biking in? 2) How many times have you cycled in the past month?
The answers were all-or-none. Either 40F, or no lower limit for lowest temp. Either too many to count, or not at all for number of times on your bike in the last month.

Misty and 55 is fine - I will ride in that all day long. I used to ride in the 30 degree cold and sunny, but I just can't do it anymore as I have gotten older (have Renauds in my hands; arthritis in my back, and just no motivation to ride in the cold); I love hot, the hotter the better! But I don't live in high humidity country.
