Hi,
I haven’t been in your neck of the woods but went to the Worlds Fair in New Orleans in 1984 and I was soaked just going from the car to the house. I never experienced anything like that before. California gets a little humid sometimes and everyone goes around whining and griping but nothing even close to what you experience. I know someone in Virginia and New Hampshire and they said it was humid there. Is it more humid the farther south you go? When I went to Texas I saw actual rain. We had to stop until it stopped, couldn’t see a thing. My friend said “good thing it didn’t hail.” You need to get out of California occasionally to see some actual weather. We have great fires, droughts and earthquakes but when it rains (or drizzles) a quarter inch here the headlines on the front page of the paper says “Major storm hits Valley” I don’t think Californians know what a a real storm is.

@jakedduck1 Hey Jake, You guys don’t get rain? 1/4 inch is a lot? Wow! Yes, it gets more humid as you go southward. The average humidity is 70 for Raleigh - but that’s only a yearly average! I live right outside of Raleigh. Everyone gets quite crazy here when snow is forecast! We rarely get it and so if you try to go to grocery store after it’s been forecast - you won’t find any bread or milk. We just don’t have the snow equipment to handle the roads!

@jakedduck1 Hey Jake you are so right just look at the car accidents when it drizzles out here.In Pa we had a lot of actual downpours ,humidity but when my brother died in 2013 my son and I flew to Ga. Couldn't wait to get back humidity just sucked all my energy. I'm spoiled now.
