I am planning to move out the UK in the near future, my destination is USA. However I want to finish my degree here in the UK, and then possible find a job and live in the US.
The reason why i want to leave the UK is because of the weather mainly! I don't know about you guys but I think i am allergic to the cold weather, I lived in holland before and it was even worse! The lack of sun is making me depressed.
So i wanted to ask you guys some general questions, about places in the USA which have nice weather (all year round) so no snow! I love the rain alot but only when its warm. I have an aunty living in Dallas texas, and one living in Virginia I think thats somewhere in washington. Living next to them would be a great benefit, not next to viriginia though heard the weather can be mean there!kay:, for some strange reason i fancy texas, i love all the desert hype, all the rattlesnakes! I have looked at Laredo, but I think that would be a bit to extreme!
Also like to add that I love areas with lakes, alot of trees, flowers etc...
Heh, its interesting how some people define 'good weather' as being warm and sunny every day, while to others 'good weather' is all about the variation. I don't think I could live in an area that was summery all year round - I need a cold winter, a fresh spring, and a bitter autumn. In fact, I think I have reverse SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorcer) - I much prefer the cold months to the warm months!
Maybe it was because I went to America in the height of summer, but I really couldn't imagine how anyone could live in that heat. (And yes, I know there are much warmer countries than the US!)
If I was going to move to another country, I'd probably move to a colder region - Scandanavia looks lovely. But I think the UK has a great climate.
Hello. I used to live in Florida so yeah you get a lot of sunshine but you get like 95% humidity all year round. Everyone has central air because you would die without it.
I know the reason why everyone likes a dry heat!
Though if you like rain the thunderstorms are fantastic with hard rain and booming thunder (though the hurricanes can be a pain).
Virginia can get cold and you will see some snow in winter.
Try southern California.
[sorry didn't see your earlier response. If the humidity is no problem then florida is for you!]

You must have visited some of our southern states, Next time try Maine or Alaska. You will be lucky if the the temp gets up to 70 F (21C) on the hottest day.
Well I've never been to America or researched the weather properly, but I'd just like to inform you to choose wisely. You wouldn't want to pick say, Texas and then 2 months later; "Argh, I wish I picked Miami." I mean ofcourse you could move to Miami from Texas if you didn't like it but it takes a while to settle into places I guess.
Good luck!
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.

thanks
lol bro virginia is not IN washington, but nvm, yeh texas is, eh, i dunno never been there but it sounds too cowboylike for me, u , maybe, but i live in ohio so right now its cold...well its supposed to be cold but its hot, it snows in april, strange....its supposed to be spring when ppl go places but everyone is dead i think.
i say CALI! california is tiiight, never snows, florida is toooooo hot, like when its like an island too many hurricanes and stuff, but its nice, im sure, its like too many bugs, like mosqitoes and stuff, so it'll annoy u.
Detroit, Michigan is the best tho, i actually been there since all my relatives are there, its soooooooooooooooo cool, but it does have winter and stuff, heres how my brother does. in the summer he stays here in ohio then in winter he goes to yemen and gets an early summer lol, he is 16 turning 17 and goes in the plane alone, he's done it twice, and its mostly my parents choice but he agrees.
Brooklyn and NYC, new york are tiight too. verry good...
BTW U MUST VISIT NIAGRA FALLS! i luv it at night, i only been there once when we went on vacation to new york then canada, but u can go from washington dc too. I had a field trip for school to washington dc earlier this month and they went to the white house and all that and then to niagra falls, but i didnt go coz the white house is horrible.
Also to earn $$ buy a gas station with someone and u will get rich...or get a real job..lol.since u go to college u can get good jobs .
I live in Dallas and I *have* to say it has one of the BEST Muslim Communities in the US with some of the BEST Islamic Schools for children. Let me know if you need any further information insha'Allah!
I know your aunty is here but I wanted to add that if you'd like a brother to show you around Dallas area and help you in your search, I'm sure my husband could be of a lot of help insha'Allah! Just let me know!
First of let me thank you for your effort truemuslim, I love hot! The hotter the weather, the more active i am!
And I am very very humbled by your offer sister whisperofislam!(a real generous offer, mashAllah its great to be a muslim!!!) , inshAllah if i got any questions regarding the area, or any activities i will PM you. thanks agian!

Ur welcome.
Also juss sayin before u do something... don't rely on cops or fire fighters... they r liars. Like there is a house on fire and burns and people die and someone calls the cops and firefighters and 1. they put them on hold and 2. then they never end up coming, they were on like lunch break or something...Yes they do get paid. Sad isn't it
And they don't even get cats out of trees anymore. There is a cat outside my house right now dying coz of them.
AAND cops, u call 911 while being chased by a robber kidnapper rapist murderer and they put u on hold (as if u have time ) and ask u too many things till its too late. That way they can say "Oops, too late!"
hehe seriously. most of these were on the news. stuff like this.
or like a bus driver leaving a bus full of lil kids outside a gas station with the keys in it and leaving...that bus crashed!
but there are alot of good things here, like..um...food, yeh the food is great! ...and um. rich, they r rich here, nice stuff, too bad all the good stuff made in china lol they got the brains.
u should travel before bush leaves, see the difference there will be! lol
lol ur going to america and im going to yemen. hehe
u should visit california though. its nice and hot and not much bugs. in certain places. and it doesn't snow. really nice.
okay,, first hand.. only cause no one hears the good stuff on the news I have called 911 various times (okay, nothing was wrong except for that one fire I created in the kitchen) and all the times I've called, never been put on hold and each time the cops, ambulance AND fire truck were all there within 5 minutes tops!!! It doesn't matter the problem, they always send all three vehicles when you call or when your alarm goes off in the house it will call them for you if you have it set that way. So within the Dallas area, no probs like that. Not that I've come across anyways.. lol
But yeah... there are some bad cops and such here and there.. they are everywhere tho, sadly.. and then you got them people pretending to be cops pulling over women and giving problems... They gotta be done away with for sure.

lool i guess its an ohio thing then
i hate ohio
i wish i could live in detroiiiit, or cali. but neva gna happen.
or london...
oh and a cop murdered a lady here... he's gona get execution now.
Ohio is facing brain drainage. All the companies went up and left so there is no economy in Ohio. And people get their education and move out of state to get jobs. So yea ohio is the worst state to be in.
Florida gets too many hurricanes and just isn't safe plus too much humidity there kills ya.
Cali is too expensive, you have to give arm and a leg to live there. It is prone to earthquakes a lot and a 20minute drive will take you 1.5hrs to get anywhere cuz of the traffic.
well i cant stand the hot weather nor the freezing cold one that u get frostbites everywere
that's why i like it here in Portland. in summer it CAN get hot but the tops we had was 103 degrees that was last summer and we even get rain in the summer
but in winter we usually get at most 6 feet around January or Febuary
Texas is HOOOOOt man. i dont know how people there stand the heat.
even in Calafornia i went there last sumer and felt like i was in an oven
