What I love about Los Angeles, what people don't understand until they get to move here, or visit, is that the lack of humidity is simply amazing.
When I used to live in Virginia, the summers there would get to be 100+ degrees. It would feel like 120+ degrees. The summers here in LA get to be 90-100 degrees, but it never feels much above the mid 80's. It's so much easier to handle the summer weather without humidity. In Virginia's summers, you literally feel like you're swimming in muggy hot air; you can almost the humidity in the air slowing you down. Out here it's nice and dry. :D
At night it will get to be 55 to 60 degrees during the winter, and around 70 degrees during the winter daytime. Comparing that to Virginia, where the winters see ice and snow and below freezing temperatures...it's no contest. My friend and I who both left Virginia together often comment that Virginia's weather often seemed bipolar.
Also, I have some friends in Virginia still, who spent nine days without electricity or running water due to a storm. I have yet to go without power due to a natural disaster since moving here.
Unless you find a tropical island paradise, it's unlikely you will find better weather.
