I’d say generally no because for most people it’s a relatively small factor in what makes them happy. But if for you it’s a big thing, it could be worth considering.
Just be sure to be clear eyed about what will or won’t make you happy. I think a lot of dissatisfied people find excuses to pin their feelings on that may not be the real cause of their problem. You don’t want to move across the world only to realize weather wasn’t the problem all along. Also, if you’ve never moved long distances before, I’ve noticed many people underestimate the benefits of the connections they have with family, friends, and community. I know I did, and it can take a long time to rebuild those things.
