About This Quiz

While one person might find a day in the 90s to be ideal for their lifestyle, there are indeed others who would never leave the comfort of an air-conditioned room on such a day. Each of us has a temperature range, amount of sunshine and level of moisture that fits our personality the best. Let's find out which combination is ideal for you.

If you tell us that you spend a lot of your time down at the beach and you wear sunglasses on pretty much a daily basis, we're definitely leaning towards "Warm & Sunny" for your perfect weather. When you also tell us that you're a very social person who loves to chat with friends and strangers alike, we definitely feel like we're getting warm with our choice.

On the other hand, if you're more of an introvert who would prefer to curl up with a good book rather than deal with people, perhaps you're the kind of person who loves the sound of rain falling on the roof. Should you mention that you have more than a few hoodies in your wardrobe and you never use an umbrella, we'll be pretty sure that "Rainy & Cool" is what you're hoping the forecast will bring.

It can be hard to predict the weather, but we foresee that you're ready to start this quiz.
