Are there longer periods of rain, or should I get used to sunshine and "partly cloudy" days?
You shoulda been here in the rainy season of 68-69. Or the one in 80-81. 92-93. 04-05.

Constant rain, up the wazoo.


EDIT: By the way, don't get used to that thunder stuff. L.A. Basin rain tends to be gentler, less noisy, and less flashy than other parts of the country. There are exceptions, of course.

I've been here (So Cal) all my 53 years, and can count on both hands, with fingers left over, how many times I've experienced buttkicking thunder and lightning and cow-pissing-on-a-flat-rock style rain.

Ah yes, 92-93. I'd just arrived and was watching people on the news cling to submerged cars in an area around Balboa. People were getting washed away in that raging LA river and the rain just kept on pouring down.

I'm sick of this weather already. Cloudy, dreary, damp, humid, not cold enough to light the fireplace but too icky to enjoy the outdoors.

I love rainy days, especially in Autumn. I live in Toronto though ...

LA basin can definitely get big storms which last all afternoon and dump multiple inches. That is why there are all those concrete channels for storm runoff. Next day, clear blue skies with snow on the mountains.

Last week in San Jose, we had a heat wave, our second or third of Indian Summer. In my vicinity, we had temps in the upper 80's/low 90's. So, we had prolonged misery up here, too.

It rained here today but we're forecasted to go back to sunny & low 70's- our average temps- until Friday.

If you like greyer weather, I think you probably should've moved north, not south. That's what I want to do.

It's raining in San Diego and is supposed to be pretty much all week with a chance of thunderstorms as well.
