5 US Cities With Most, Least 'Nice' Days

"Nice" weather may differ depending on taste (some people just can't get enough of an all-day thunderstorm).

Here, the top five cities that will make you never want to head indoors (they're all in one state), plus the number of nice days you can expect from each:

1. Long Beach, Calif.; 210
2. Los Angeles; 182
3. San Diego; 178
4. San Jose, Calif.; 170
5. Oakland, Calif.; 138
