Jacket Weather

 I am a weather-chaser. Given a choice, I will live where the coldest season is at most a jacket in the mornings. 

I like the sun. I like feeling warm air all around me. A gentle breeze is okay but not necessary. Strong winds make me want to curl up in a corner and stay there until it's over. It's no wonder I'm attracted to Mexico. 

The only state in the USA that has weather as nice as Mexico is California. I have lived in both and discovered countless reasons why living in Mexico is preferable to California. It's generally understood that California has the best weather of all 50 states. And in Mexico, you have an entire country with California weather. Or even warmer, such as the Gulf regions and other tropical lowland areas.

Near the beaches, you will find a tropical climate. If that's too hot and humid in the summers, you can go inland to higher elevations. There you will find it perfectly temperate year-round, with jacket weather in the colder winter months. 

I like the coastal regions, along the Gulf Coast, the Pacific Coast and the Yucatan. Baja is beautiful, but can be expensive, as are the popular tourist cities along the Pacific. I avoid Northern Mexico because it's cartel territory, although the expats who live there say it's fine.

The areas where I've lived the longest have been Southern Mexico and the Gulf Coast. I've also been to Baja, the Yucatan and Central Mexico. 

Everywhere, I have experienced wonderful weather. Some months are more to my liking than others but, overall, no complaints from this weather-chaser.
