Yes, with the caveat that the combination of weather and local adaptations is more important than weather alone. For example, the heat is worse in Florida than it is in New York City, but in Florida you can drive everywhere in an air-conditioned car and experience the heat for only a minute or two each day while in NYC you'll probably have to either walk or wait for mass transit long enough to become miserable even though the weather isn't as hot.

It seems that unless you can live somewhere with perfect weather like parts of the west coast of the US, you're probably best off looking for the most car-friendly place to live and avoiding the weather entirely.

Move. I moved to a country for work. It was miserable, and in turn, so was I. Moved back to Australia. Heaven.

However, I'm finding the humidity is too much for me here, so have my eye on New Zealand.

It would depend on how much I liked my job, friends, and family and how much I hated the weather.

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.

I'd move to the south of my country just to escape the summer heat.

Yes. That was one of the reasons for my move.

Yeah, it's pretty normal and will become more normal as agricultural strain becomes worse in equatorial regions. I suspect it will depend on the immigration context of more livable countries, in which case you might have more community moving with you and you can struggle together in your new home.

As someone who lives in a sunny place, and knows how much it impacts my general well-being when it's not sunny, I would absolutely move for the weather. If I lived somewhere known for being grey and rainy, I could guarantee I'd have depression. I need to live in a sunny place to function.

Unless you live in an extreme snow, flood, fire or tornado prone region, I'd probably think you're crazy if that was your only reason to move. But if weather is just one of many reasons, like job, lifestyle, housing, travel... I get it.

Yes. Totally a factor. I couldn't live in places with snow. A holiday maybe, but not a life

It depends really. If I lived somewhere where natural disasters were a common occurrence then I probably would. Luckily I live in the UK which, while not great in other ways, has a temperate climate. That said, if the south gets too much warmer then I am tempted to move to Scotland. I don't cope well in temperatures above 19 Celsius. It would be one of several reasons though, not the overriding factor.

Depends a lot of the severity of the bad weather. I wouldn't live in antartica or cities that are constantly being hit by earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc. That would be a big reason for me to leave everything behind.

But if its just like a mild weather that I am not too happy about, then I wouldn't want to lose friends and or family because of that.
