Perfect day
For me a perfect day is somewhere between 60-40 degrees Fahrenheit. I hate sweating so anything that is near body temperature is far to high. I also want to be able to wear a tee shirt so the range of 60-40 allows you to play sports comfortably. The humidity would of course be zero. There would be the smallest possible breeze, no huge gusts or any other wind. Wind is terrible for sports like tennis or frisbee and can make just walking a huge annoyance especially if you have to walk directly into it. A small breeze just allows the air to move but does nothing else; hats should not go flying and the trees should be silent. On my perfect day the sun is completely out. The sun is always a good thing. It leaves a warm feeling on your skin, brings out color in everything it's light touches and just makes you want to go outside. My perfect day is always in Fall. Spring the flowers are blooming and the bees are out and it always seems to rain, Summer is always hot and humid and Winter no one ever wants to go outside. Fall is a time to take walks for fun and see the leaves change color. Any perfect day should of course be on a Saturday. Saturdays are free they don't have any work like the weekdays and there is no sense of dread that you get on a Sunday. My perfect day would never have any scedule to it. It could be in the city, on the beach, in the woods for all I care. It would be a day entirely devoted to finding stuff to do rather then planning for it to happen.

I rather enjoy the specificity of this--not only the weather conditions and season, but also the day of the week on which it should occur! Thus, the perfect weather conditions are inherently tied into what one can DO in them, and for you it seems to be either playing sports or having the opportunity to explore in a way that the weather won't impede upon. You do a solid job of explaining why these conditions are, to you, ideal by explaining what is wrong with the opposite.
