The California coastal city of Santa Barbara recently topped U.S. News' report for its "near-perfect climate," noted for 329 days without rain annually and moderate temperatures.
This Mediterranean-like climate with dry summers and cool winters makes Santa Barbara an outdoor lover's paradise, but rising sea levels and wildfires pose significant threats.
Despite its excellent climate, Santa Barbara ranked 71st overall due to its high cost of living. Many celebrities are drawn to its idyllic landscapes and wine culture.
ClimateCheck data reveals about 85 percent of Santa Barbara's buildings are at high risk of wildfire, highlighting the looming impacts of climate change on the city.
