Likely some people would make use of the lousy-weather days to get a competitive advantage on time-sensitive business. Think overnight delivery, or just rushing a product to market faster than the fair-weather competition.
It’s kind of expensive to live in California, and would be more so if everyone tried to relocate to pleasant climates—aside from that I’ve been in San Diego in the summer, and it’s not what I’d call a good climate. I don’t think you’re even talking about all of California.
What I’m imagining is most people go into hibernation during the worst heat spells and ice storms and such, with a small proportion stay awake and do maintenance and get paid a premium for it.
This is probably good enough for science fiction, but I don’t know whether it actually makes sense.
It would be tough to coordinate over areas large enough to have different weather. But it would be a fun story, especially taking into account the competitively advantaged but faster-aging “winter soldiers.”
