I loved the dryness of Colorado when I was there, but maybe it was because I only lived there in the summer. It didn't get as hot for as long as in Virginia, and 102 degrees is actually tolerable in a semi-arid climate, as long as you've got loose clothing, lots of sunscreen and a hat and you keep drinking water. I could live with the nosebleeds.
Whereas in Virginia, 85 degrees with 95 percent humidity and stinky smoggy air could sap my will to live, and that happened a lot. I've never been to Florida but I always imagined it as a suffocating hellhole of damp heat.
