The large cities are natural heat accumulators. I was thinking more of rural piedmont where the breeze still blows thru the trees and the roads/roofs/buildings/parking lots don't account for 9 out of every 10 acres of bulldozed level land. The mountains may be a few degrees cooler, but often the humidity feels higher to me. Then again hot and humid is just hot, whether its 85 degrees hot or 90. Gimme some 70's

Altitude can have a dramatic effect on local conditons. One late June, I was visiting a friend in Paradise, CA. It was sweltering in Paradise, so I suggested we visit Lassen National Volcanic Park, which was about an hour away, since I'd never been to that one. It's all over 8000ft, and it was COLD! The place was still snowed in in late June, and all the roads were closed under 10+ ft. of snow. I demanded our money back on the way back out, and got it. shannontech.com In S. Cal. I once drove up into the mountains to catch the blizzard on a winter morning, then came back down to the beach to watch some kite surfers.

"To me, temperatures in the seventies and low eighties in the day and fifties and sixties at night with low humidity is a much nicer climate than temperatures in the 80s or 90s in the day and the seventies at night with humidity closer to 90%." Find a place like that somewhere east with mild winters and it'll be a gold mine especially with folks tiring of hot humid summers with constant hurricanes but not wanting cold winters like up north. Asheville and some other towns still in the Blue Ridge mountains to the south like Forest City seem to come close. Highs in the 50's during the coldest months and lows in the low 60's during the warmest months.
