Has the weather been horrible for anyone else?

I would say, "Its a dry heat, caspertodd," But 111 degrees is 111 degrees, dry or not! I have heard a lot of people from out in the US southwest area (desert parts) say even though the desert is hotter, they like the heat out there more than here cause here you feel like you can't breathe in our humidity. I don't know if that's true or not, having never been to the desert or California's valley area (whatever you call Fresno, Sacramento, Bakersfield area).

Today I was at work, and usual there was just a cloudy sky, when all of the sudden without warning the skies OPENED up and it rained buckets for about 25 minutes. Then, nothing. There was no warning sprinkle, or winds, nothing. I hear that's the sort of stuff it does down by the gulf, but for some reason this year, its about 500 miles too far north!

Yeah, the dry heat excuse = "I don't want to be made fun of for chosing to live in a place where it gets up to 111 in the summer."

HAHA!!

The valley in California has moderate humidity it sure as hell isn't dry heat but not humid heat either. This smoke is KILLER in Sacramento you have trouble seeing things even 300ft away.

TERRIBLE!

I had the great plan of spending this whole week at the sea ... on a small island with my tent in the sand dunes .... but with the almost constant
rain forecast I finally gave up

thunderstorms even....

It's pretty smokey here too, but it's not how it was last week..

The smoke is really getting old though. I can't do anything outside without knowing I've taken 5 years off my life!

You'd be surprised how much construction goes on during monsoon. It usually only rains in the afternoons, so they have all morning to fry in the sun.

I got caught in the rain in Bisbee the other day, thought I would float away....

i have been to bisbee! that place is crazy!
