"net.astro" seems to be the closest thing we have to a group for
meteorology-related topics, I think...

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!

Will Martin
