On Sunday yes it was quite hot. For two days it was unbearably hot here. Why on earth do people love attacking me and calling me a bluff on this forum everytime I forget a small detail? You all need to realize that I'm human, and that I don't know what types of details you are looking for.

Sunday we were going to a birthday party and the temp thing inside the van said it was 100 degrees. And I think Monday was in the mid-90s.

But it's not that bad today.

Pointing out a factual error in a post is hardly attacking someone. I certainly didn't intend to upset you.

It sounds like you need to live in Oregon. I lived there for 15 years and am now in Missouri. I would love to have Oregon weather here. The spring and fall here is real nice and the summer does get hot and sticky...a few days over 99. I dont like the severe storms though. Oregon doesnt have severe weather at all and it doesnt rain as much in Oregon as most people think.

It's only along the Oregon coast and west of Interstate 5 that you can really get a lot of rain from October to April. Once you get east of U.S. Highway 97, the precipitation declines dramatically. Even in Ashland and Medford, in southwest Oregon (but quite a ways inland), it only receives about 19 inches per year, or about as much as San Francisco and far less than anywhere in Missouri.

Well yeah, but it rains all the time in Portland, doesn't it? Well during mid-autumn to late spring, but as CalOrGal says, it doesn't rain hard, and it averages about as much rainfall (38 inches per year) as St. Louis and Kansas City. It rains a lot more in Cape Girardeau and Springfield.

This has been such a dry year in the north San Francisco Bay Area (less than one inch of rain since the end of this past February) that I'm looking forward to Missouri's abundant rainfall and greenery during the late spring through summer season. And the possibility of a white Christmas too!

Well then don't move anywhere near Perry county... We hardly ever see a white Christmas. It's more likely to snow in January, February, and March. Sometimes, like this year, even in April.

I thought it was funny - here I live in Missouri, and I wish I lived in San Francisco! lol

Anyway, they say if you don't like the weather in Missouri, stick around. It'll change. Some days it's snowing outside, and then the next day you'll be wearing shorts. It's constantly humid, and not the good kind of humid. It's hard to breathe because of the humidity, and it's sticky on your skin. The winters are bitter and the air gets so dry that if you breathe too deeply, your lungs feel like they're going to crack. The summers get so hot and there's no stopping the mosquitoes. Ants are a bad problem, too. You said you like the rainfall, but it's not just rainfall that we get, either. It's the constant threat of tornados.

That's just the weather. There's a whole lot more wrong here but I'll be nice... Good luck if you come here. Personally I'd stay in San Fran. (I'd love to switch you homes! lol)

WE GET BAD STORMS, TORNADO'S , HAIL- OH WHAT THE HAIL...
WHERE I LIVE, I HAVE HAD 8 TORNADO'S IN 2 HOURS AND THANKS TO MY FATHER ABOVE IT DID NOT TAKE MY HOME. MY FIRST YEAR HERE WE HAD IN OUR FIRST WINTER 15 INCHES OF SNOW, 3 INCH ICE. THAT WAS THE FIRST SNOW AND ICE OF THE SEASON. THE REST OF THE WINTER WE HAD UP TO 3 MONTHS OF OVER 30 INCH'S OF SNOW AND THAT IS IN THE SOUTH EAST 65 MILES FROM ST. LOUIS.

[STLCardsBlues1989]

I've lived in Missouri 19 years, and we've had 2 tornadoes, neither of which caused any fatalities, and some damage. We've had, maybe once, 8-10 or so inches. We might get 3-4 inches at a time in winter.

St louis weather oh yea you either like it or totally hate it, folks from chicago say how in the world can you people stand that place in the summer, not much spring to speak of, summer it goes from cool rainy to 90 then stays there now add in miserable humidity, fall not much there either then it get's colder than all get out the majority of the time plus the wind always blowing in winter, it'l cut thru you like a knife, MO is a great state if you can handle the weather extremes.
