I know that tempaerature variations on the surface of the earth depend on an awful lot of different factors; as far as I know, the main locations where the temperature varies minimally are in the tropics, where it just varies between "hot" and "too hot", depending on seasons and local factors. What I am wondering is whether there is some place on the earth where the temperature stays between certain limited but temperate points for a large percentage of the time (like 95% or so)? What I am looking for is a site where the temperature never(*) drops below freezing, and never gets above, say, 80 degrees F or so, for totally natural reasons (i.e., the inside of a building doesn't count). Maybe some island somewhere, or some mountain valley in the tropics, or some coastal location warmed by currents, or the like? (* "Never" means something like "95% of the time" in this statement.) Thanks for your help! Regards, Will Martin USENET: seismo!brl-bmd!wmartin or ARPA/MILNET: wmartin@almsa-1.ARPA
