I think where I am is just as critical as what the weather is doing.

Mid-October in the 40s/50s outside is some of my favorite weather.

Anything that makes it comfortable to be outside regardless of season.

Let's start with it not feeling like March for much of May, which has been the case.

Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm in Iowa, give me 75 and sunny/slight breeze. If I'm in the Rockies, give me snow fall in the morning, blue skies in the afternoon, and 25/30 on the slopes.

In San Francisco, it's very easy to play "spot the tourist." They're the ones in shorts and t-shirts freezing their butts off while the locals are dressed for the climate (or micro-climates, since there are so many in the Bay Area). "Sunny California" doesn't necessarily apply to San Francisco. But drive an hour to Napa and it can be pushing 100.
I remember a 30+ degree temperature change once when I left work early in the city and went to a friend's house in Walnut Creek. We lived up in San Pablo, so it wasn't quite as drastic a change between work & home.

In my *ahem* declining years, I have become less tolerant of heat. When we retired people asked us when we were going to move south, and my response was always "Are you kidding me? I'm trying to talk Lew into a summer home in northern Saskatchewan!".
I love the cooler temps. Fall is beautiful, but the colors last about 2 days in our woods before wind & rain knock all the leaves off. In winter...LAYERS, baby! A good fire, a good book - I'm a happy camper. :)

Shorts and sweatshirt/long sleeve shirt weather is the best weather. No argument.

Favorite weather is when I can walk outside in a sweatshirt or jacket and jeans and be comfortable

I’m ok with anything in the 55-80 range as long as it’s not windy. I have an irrational hatred for wind.

Same here, I ******* hate windy days.
My ideal temps for outdoor activities would be 55-65 and sunny.
