I hate S. California's dry weather (Orland: living, humid, east coast)

But L.A. is not Orange County....

131-year-old heat record shattered in Downtown LA: https://la.curbed.com/2017/7/6/15929...ecord-downtown

California sees some of highest temperatures ever recorded amid heat wave:

OC is greater LA, and that article is from July, not May or June! You said there were triple digits and no marine layer in May or early June this year, which was not the case in this part of greater LA, at any rate.

Still is pretty cool. It's too cold for me to use my pool yet. I tried today and it's too cold (yes, pool is heated). Every morning it has been hazy and sometimes very foggy.

The L.A. Times article is from June 21.

Sorry to use the term "greater" L.A., but I'm not including Orange County since I don't live there, and have never known Orange County to be hot. Just responding to a poster who said, "summer came late this year." What? It's been unbelievably HOT here since mid-June.

From June 15: Temperatures are expected to climb 12 to 18 degrees above normal this weekend through at least the middle of next week, according to the National Weather Service: http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2017/...-california-2/

While I would never, ever want to live in southern California I have friends who do and still complain about the dryness. Personally I would rather live in Florida where the air is clean, and we get very interesting summers where you go from dull to desperate at the whim of the Atlantic. This is the land of the "cone on your phone".

Look at weather stats. LA summers make Miami winters look rainy.

Now 11 years ago. (And about weather, to boot.)

I miss boring, sunny weather. Unpredictable is Maryland weather and it sucks. It's 28 right now.

Probably the biggest extremes are the front range. You get 20 below, 100 mph winds, rain, hail, waist deep snow, 100 degree days, insects. Some times of the year you can get many of the above not very far apart. We had hail/snow still in the shadows one year on the 4th of July. Two weeks later it hit 100 degrees.

Dry sunny weather isnt for everybody I guess
