Living in certain climates

Any suggestions on the best climates to live in when dealing with COPD? I'm in the northeast and think it's to isolating due to the cold weather most of the time.

    I feel the same way your do, except it is extreme temps the other way. Living in south central Texas, it is too hot to be out almost 3/4 of the year. I lived in San Diego for 5 years(before COPD diagnosis), and would say the weather there would be perfect for COPD sufferers. Daily highs are around mid 70's to low 80's, with cool breezes and salt air coming off the Pacific Ocean. Not too hot or too cold, unless you lived in an inner valley. Then it can get hot in the summer pretty cold in the winter. Not to mention the fire risk. I loved living there though, just couldn't afford to stay. There are days here in Texas that I definitely wish I was back in San Diego. Such is life. Take care and God Bless!
