Sounds like a lot of places in southern Spain then.
Never been to Spain (I must fix that...), but yeah that's the impression I get too.
MTF said:Except for the Canary Islands, there's no place in Europe that doesn't get cold at least in the mornings and at night in winter. In the warmest areas of the Canary Islands minimum temperatures usually don't go below 13-15 C.
In pretty much any other otherwise warm place in Europe minimums usually go below 10 C, sometimes even down to 5 C. If you live in a place without heating, winter can be a nightmare because while days are pretty warm, you're freezing in the morning and evening.
Brrr, you're telling me. The usual Jan/Feb temps here are about 14-18C in the day and 9-13C at night. Last couple days we're having a cold snap of 10C/3C, which is like a nice winter's day in southern England. It's absolutely freezing in here. Blasting the heat out of the ACs just isn't the same as central heating.
It's often a warm-ish and pleasant day outside and cold in the house. Also you can feel the heat of the sun all year round, but the air's cold in winter. So when you're out and about, it's this strange deal where it can feel like t-shirt weather in the sun, but as soon as you're in the shade, you need layers and a jacket.
When I was looking at places in Cyprus though I noticed that central heating is fairly common. Not normal by any means, but probably 5-10% of apartments to rent seem to have it. It's unheard of here.
One odd thing about the climate here, which I assume is the same in Cyprus, is that there isn't much of a spring or autumn. It's blazing hot in the summer and cool/windy/rainy in the winter, and there's not much in-between time where it's just pleasant. Still beats the hell out of the north so I'm not complaining.
Long-term I'm thinking of something like spending most of the year in Cyprus, but spending winter in Panama City/Hong Kong/somewhere else cool with warmth and big city buzz. Could also do it the other way around and spend summers in Germany/NL. So many choices!
BTW, Panama could be one to add to your investigations. Very up and coming place. Might be too humid for your tastes though.
