Do you think bad weather is a good reason for moving? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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 absolutely would. If it were a realistic option I'd mine my family to somewhere like Scotland, Iceland, Norway or Canada to get away from the unpleasantly hot summers we have here (relatively speaking - most people would probably not find it that hot.)

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure my wife would happily move to the Mediterranean for more heat...

You're tunneling there?

[–] daddyjones@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, of course! It's a good way to escape the heat - as long as you don't go too deep.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You should never delve too deep, and especially not too greedily.

Hey, hey, no shaming of mole-people or duergar here!

I'm on your boat. I used to get on fairly well with the british climate but as it's changing I do fancy going north. The issue for me would be the short daytime hours. I go to northern europe in winter quite a bit cause it's cheap then, but the 4 hours of daylight thing was hard.

I did go to Iceland in the summer once, no night at all, it was brilliant for my mood.
