Chasing 75 degree weather all year? Need some input

[Free_Range_Huma]

One of the biggest reasons I'm living in my RV is so I can chase the climate, west coast only.

I was dreaming today of a mythical place(s) where it's "always" 75 degrees, with very low humidity and cool nights -- mostly because I live in the PNW now, and today it was 90 degrees!, with more humidity than I like. (I should plan next summer to get into a higher elevation, I think.)

But I know my plans to head south as fall approaches are by no means foolproof. I've lived in or been through a whole lot of Calif, and know that I can get surprised with 90 degrees there even in the fall. (Still remember one CHRISTMAS EVE as a kid heading into Orange County with the car's A/C on! Did not feel very Ho-Ho-Ho that year! 😄 )

What would be your vote for a west coast route that does its best to maintain mild temperatures simply by moving? I'd planned to keep returning to southern WA every June and leaving at the end of Sept or Oct, before it gets really cold again, and suppose I should still do that, in spite of the few really hot days which have me (currently) whining and rethinking this.

The fun is in the hunt.

So much for chasing 72 degrees on the west coast

Hey, thanks for the idea. I hadn't considered going farther inland. Will definitely look into Cody.

Around 75 degree average and the extremes are few and far between.

Pismo Beach is a nice stop for maybe 5 days, but for us it doesn't have enough going on to get us through the winter months before we can travel again.

I think since your idea of Roughing It is slow room service and a constant 75 degrees, you probably will not be happy on the road...:)

In VINH Vietnam based on 8 years of historical weather the average is 75.1 degrees. 18 70 N, 105 66 E, 19 feet (6 meters) above sea level.

Okay, putting it on my map.

Hmmm, looks like Vietnam is only a 7533 drive (with hovercraft) from southern WA. Sounds do-able.

Free Range...love the name.... you never said it had to be in an certain country.... 😄

I would think San Miguel de Allende would be close. Not exactly the west coast though. Kinda almost dead centre of the continent.

Lake Chapala? Almost the west coast.

You never said where in North America. 🙂

Exactly..
If the OP wants constant low humidity temps year round, the only place to find that is in the mountains on the equator. It sure ain't in the U.S.

Since one of you're prerequisites is "low humidity" , that ends the conversation right there. You simply will not come anywhere near a constant 72, or anything else by removing yourself from the coast.

Where did I say I wanted to avoid the coast? Just because something is near a coast doesn't raise its perceived/relative humidity. In fact, because of the winds, humidity is often "felt" to be lower.
Include the west COAST, and carry on!

You said LOW HUMIDITY didn't you?
Don't get snippy, I was born and raised less than 3 miles from the beach, this isn't a guess.
I don't know where you're from, but on this planet the ocean and low humidity happen a few days a year with the Santa Ana's.

Thanks for reminding me! I haven't thought about Pismo Beach for a couple of years.

While I thank everyone for the suggestions, I was looking for an actual route up and down the west coast, and hoping someone had already done this, saving me maybe years of experimentation.

Then what didn't you say so. Where are you going for the winter? Can't give a route until we know where your headed. We're going down 101 starting in August. Will take about 2 months then two days across California so that we arrive in Mesa about October 15th. If cool enough we'll spend some time in Palm Springs on the way across. AZ is cheaper than So Cal for the winter.

It says Average is only 62.4 that is not 75. :?

I like 62.4 better anyway!
