They aren't that common right at the coast, though there's often background convection over the mountains during the warm season. Took this one 5 days ago:

This is what I like here. It isn't as parched as, say, the area around Marseille. Still, apart from a few select spots, you can tell than it's a dry summer climate from the short and open vegetation.

The darker green ones are evergreen? Lighter green deciduous?
Here's the game: guess who's evergreen and who's not.
Are our rural houses older than those in Massachusetts?
Shade! What is that? lol I'm lucky its not getting into the 70s yet otherwise I'd be begging for shade. Although that sun is getting pretty darn hot now shining through the trees up higher. I don't think we've hit 80s without leaves. That's always a debate. lol
Stone Homes! Love it. I bet they don't go up in flames and burn like paper like homes in the U.S. But that costs a fortune to build with.. Only the richy areas around here actually build with Stone. Or at least the outside of it is.
Whats sad is there are many historic homes around here and in the state but they renovated or fixed them to look modern so we would never know passing by.
"It's older than Jesus!" Doesn't look it anymore. One of the older houses in the area, maybe 1704. Adjacent to newer commercial three-story brick buildings. Unlike the mid-atlantic, the oldest houses here were wooden.
I would say that the vast majority of our rainfall between March-October comes from cumulus or cumulonimbus clouds. November to February is mostly stratus crap.

Haven't you hit 80 without leaves last year?
