When going on a holiday, would you want to go somewhere warm or cold, and why?

It’s not really a major factor in picking a location for me. I generally like learning about the culture and history of a place, the climate is only a factor in regards to it’s influence on those. The weather becomes a factor, but only in terms of picking the best time of year to avoid things like storms and heatwaves if possible.
There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing
There is definitely bad weather. Cyclones, hail storms, floods, severe heat waves. Clothes cannot protect you from the nasty extremes.
That’s true
The saying I’ve heard some Germans say
Autumn.
I need to be in the sun at all times to get my summer coat cranking.
(I turn much darker in the sun)
If the purpose of the holiday is to lounge near a pool / beach, I want it warm. Tropical. Ocean water so warm it’s like going into a bath. The total opposite experience of summer in Melbourne.
If the purpose of the holiday is to sight see and walk many steps per day, I want it comfortable (not too hot, not too cold). Maximum temps around 25 without too much humidity is the sweet spot.

I prefer warmth. But if it was an adventurous holiday, I don’t have a preference, as long as the weather is calm.
