I live in las vegas. We get 300+ days of sunshine every year. That leaves 65 days of rain, or cloudiness/overcast/whatever. Out of those rainy days, we sometimes get the monsoon rains, with lotsa lightning, high winds, and SOMETIMES, sometimes we get some street flooding out of the deal. Other than that, it's a pretty uneventful climate here in sin city!

Part of me wishes there were more severe storms, more rains, winds, lightning, but not the flooding! Is that bad? Anyone else out there who has a pretty boring climate? I would love to move to seattle, just for the rainy days! I love the rainy nights (sing it, Eddie Rabbitt!) , and yes, the rainy days, too. Perhaps someday i will do just that. I would also love to live in the east coast, with lotsa blizzardly (is that a word?) days, or maybe even live in Florida, with the hurricanes and the tropical storms. I was born in California, where we experienced 3 or 4 days of mostly rainy weather. Since moving here to Vegas, there are somedays of maybe 3 or 4 HOURS of rainy weather. Then it clears up again.

Someday, i may move to a more exciting weather climate, but In the meantime, i'm stuck here in Vegas.

  1. I just moved to florida from california and i LOVE severe weather!!!! It's so fun to watch!!! We are having a t.s fay right now and I actually wanted it to hit us, and it did! I am a real weather kind of person and love lightning and thunderstorms. It is probably cuz we had nothing exciting in california. Plus, we get school off! Anyway, know how u feel. :-)


  2. I live in Northern Illinois, so we get plenty of rain and clouds.  Even so, I love it when it storms.  You may have heard that recently there was a crazy huge storm up here with lots of lightning.  There were about 900 strikes in the Chicago area, which is about how many we usually get in 6 months.  It sucks when it rains for days on end, but I do like a huge storm now and then.

  3. well I guess if you dont get it often it would be nice for a change.

    I personally would not like the heat all the time but hey thats just me.

    You would think that having so much out there in vegas you would not have time to think about the weather...I guess the thrill wears off if u live there.

    I live in ont canada and nothing exciting happens here..so we talk about the weather a lot...ha ha .....we should switch for a week in the winter...u live her I will live there!
