Weird in what way? There's a dozen with higher average minimum temperatures, several with not signifiantly more rain (or less, Texas).

Iirc California has the most "nice" days on average of any state. "Nice" = between around 60°-80°F and Sunny. If you want to spend the whole year outdoors California is the best state to do it in.

The average you’re looking for can hide a lot of distributions. Texas gets both extremely hot and cold in a way California does not.

Wet bulb temperatures and dew point are what determine how comfortable it is outdoors.

> In the United States, this meridian roughly marks the boundary between the semi-arid climate in the west and the humid continental and humid subtropical climates in the east and is used as shorthand to refer to that arid-humid boundary.
