Warm weather is great; you can take long walks, go jogging in the park, go sunbathing and swim in the water or an open pool… There are so many benefits of moving to a warmer climate, plus a few disadvantages.

Warm weather is good for your body.

There are many outdoor activities you can enjoy. Unlike when it is cold outside, summer offers many things to do. When it is snowing, foggy and windy, the last thing you want is being exposed to the low temperatures, right? In the cold you usually prefer to stay at home, in front of the TV or computer, and don’t feel like going out as much as you do in summer and when it is warm. Sailing, fishing, sunbathing, jogging, picnicking, swimming are just a small part of all the fun things you could do in a warm climate. Can you think of more?
Another great reason is that it is good for the kids. Would you prefer it if your kids stay at home and play video or computer games because it’s whizzing outside and they cannot go out, or if it is nice and warm outside and your children can play in the yard, with other kids or do sports after school?
