Berkeley: weathering the human condition

Now I have been in Berkeley for a bit. Berkeley is has excellent weather all of the time, as far as I can tell. 

Which means that if you have a happiness set point, and you also respond to things around you with happiness or unhappiness to some extent, you would seem to have three options: be as unhappy about the almost perpetually perfect sunshine as you were about the ice or mud or suffocating heat (or all of the above) wherever else you were, be excessively miserable on the occasional too-warm or rainy day, or just be more unhappy about other areas of life. 

If this model of human psychology is about right, I think I haven’t adjusted yet, but am probably leaning toward the latter. I admit everything seems pretty delightful, but can a person really revel in endless beautiful Spring days, if Civilization IV won’t load without Steam running? Or if people bang on your door repeatedly just because they are leaving a package outside for you?

I hope this is not how human psychology works.
