Lantley:
We lived in Tidewater VA for three years and I thought the climate was horrible. I never got used to it being 80F, foggy and a thunderstorm raging at 07:00. I got a lot of people saying how much better it was than where we'd moved from (the NW where you get "all that rain").
My response was "Here, you get more rain in 45 minutes every summer afternoon than western WA gets in a week of steady rain every day". We were very happy when Boeing called and asked if I'd like to go back. We were on our way within a week. Still here 42 years later, retired for the last 16 in one of the drier areas of western WA. No snow here for 5 years and yesterday's high was 55F (low of 42) with sunshine in the afternoon.
