Rainy Season
 
Not complaining, just asking :icon_wink:
How long does the "rainy season" last around here?

Until September hopefully

What happens for fun during that rainy season? Are we talking Forrest Gump rainy?

Does it rain all day or just a brief afternoon shower to cool things down?

We've had tons of rain in Vermont for the past few months.
It seems much darker in the evenings with all the clouds and storms.
Just not like what June used to be.

After experiencing that nice autumn sunshine in TV, it seems awfully damp and rainy up here.........but seems like you also have the rain.

Colorado got hail and funnel clouds the other day......flooding too....after a winter with hardly any snow at all.

Weather is totally unpredictable lately.

Unless a tropical system is in the area, the norm is a daily storm in late afternoon, early evening. The storms can be intense; they are not usually a gentle rain shower.

Keep in mind that hurricane season runs through October, with September being prime part of the season for Florida.

Unusual..
 
Been in FL for 12 years - 9 in Sarasota, 3 in T.V. and this seems to me to be the longest, continuous, day long rainy stretch I have encountered.

Rainy season usually entails hard rain for a short part of each day, usually late afternoon.

This is unusual...I mentioned to my wife that this is one of the rare times I have said "I'm bored" here in FL!!!

But we needed it so I'll grin:D and bear it!

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling a little bored. I have gotten so used to being outside playing all day that when I get stuck inside for a few days it seems like I'm in jail.

From the looks of the radar you guys are going to get clobbered in a short while?

shcisamax 06-09-2012 02:19 PM

I like it too. But tell me, if this is NOT the rainy season, what is to be expected when it IS the rainy season?
