I'm sorry but I love Palm Springs from November to March; summer comes very early & lasts forever in the California desert. How many people even live in places like Borrego Springs\ Brawley\ Blythe\ Needles? Death Valley was 112F yesterday.

I was raised in the Central Valley & know how long summer lasts & begins to drive people crazy.
Well, the less people in the Valley in the summer the better, like when the snowbirds go home, the locals an actually get around, get parking places, etc...

Yes - we can get into restaurants without having to wait 45 minutes! Less out of state drivers to ruin our "pattern".

I have never, ever experienced that kind of humidity - except maybe once in over 12 years of living here. It's pretty dry here.

I think it was much tougher living through Ohio summer nights with its brutal 85-100 degree summer days with absolute brutal humidity - the kind that made your entire body sticky and your breathing heavier because all of the air around you was heavier. I also grew up without air conditioning. Try going to sleep like that. I'll take a dry 100 every day of the week instead of that!

Yeah I forgot to mention the shades: must have.

No need to feel sorry. I really treasure the memories of working 15 months in Palm Springs. Towards the end I was thinking about relocating there, but unfortunately the job evaporated. I've always loved the desert.

I've often said the same thing. I recall working in PS and each night watching television the Phoenix weather was almost the same as ours.

110 degrees with 70% relative humidity would mean ...
Would mean get out of the sauna!

I'm surprised because La Quinta is in the Coachella valley. The high deserts [ie. Joshua Tree\ Victorville\ Palmdale] have lower humidity. I have never experienced humidity problems in Las Vegas because it is over 2000' elevation. But Phoenix\ Yuma\ Imperial-Coachella valleys pull in moist muggy air from the Gulf of California by July & thunderstorms are not uncommon. For example, during the time I vacationed in Palm Springs. After dinner one night we decided to drive down to Indio to look at the groves of date palms. We only got down to Palm Desert & a wicked-looking thunderstorm was moving our way. As soon as it began to rain we turned back to our rental. The thunderstorm was as strong as I have ever seen w/ abundant lightning\ strong winds-dust\ torrential rains. It got so intense that we even left the sheltered porch for fear of dangerous lightning. The next day we saw on the news that Highway 111 experienced a flash flood & cars filled with mud right up to the car windows

There are occasional thunderstorms, yep they roll through and they roll out, flash flooding but high desert gets a higher share of flooding, look at las vegas..On the whole, however, it is a drier heat. Again..less folks in town, the more room for us...

Early summer isn't that bad. I took care of an ailing aunt by visiting her\ cooking her a week's worth of meals each weekend. May & June are hot but not uncomfortable & Thursday evenings when they close Palm Drive to travel for street fairs is delightful. The warm dry air is great & most restaurants with patios have water sprays.
