Question

What kind of storms are in california??

Answer 1

i have lived in both southern and northern california and the rain storms can be gentle and pounding with rain and hail.  the missing element is a lot of thunder and lightening.

i have lived in the desert where in the summer you watch the thunderheads come in for hours and crash into each other.  they do this until the sky is packed full and they are full of water.  then it rains, but the water does not make it to the ground for it is so hot that the water evaporates.  the clouds are still packed in the sky and then you get a lightening storm.  it is very beautiful and you feel as though you are on another planet with the clouds lighting up.  this can go on for hours and you feel you are somewhere else.  i have also been out in the desert and you can watch the wall of the front move in and run away from it.  i have also seen severe flash floods.  in the desert, there can also be a lot of thunder.

dont know what happens high in the mountains for rain storms.  my highest altitude where i lived for many years was about 3100 feet.  i lived in a rain shadow, the tehachapis & piutes.  it was also capable of snowing where i lived.

califronia can also tap into the pineapple express from across the pacific, channeling the systems one right after another from hawaii right into the middle of the state spreading rain statewide.
