And the climates you've experienced/lived in.

I've got a whole plethora of weather related experiences from just visiting a few different climates, and man, you don't really realize how different living from climate to climate may be until you experience it. Hell, even if you visit a place that has the same climate and same general weather patterns as your home can be a drastically different experience on its own.

For example, I grew up in a very, very dry desert that's average high in the summer is somewhere around 110F (43C) and average low in winter is something like 40F (4C), rarely rained, hailed more than it snowed (which never stuck anyway), is windy as heck, but had a very comfortable sun that wasn't too intense. When I moved a little further east, to a place that was in the same desert but more lively, the average high turned into something more like 118F (47C) and average low was closer to 58F (14C).

Instead of the sun being a friend, it was a blazing inferno that never quit. It didn't understand what personal space was, it just waltz in, cuddled right up to you, and invited your skin to slowly peel off your face. It was also oddly humid compared to what I was used to, so the heat was a lot harder to tolerate. It was insane how different the atmosphere and weather was, just moving a few miles east in the same climate. It rained a lot more, but never snowed. It wasn't as windy, but I was introduced to a great new weather condition I'd never experienced before, and quickly became very fond of: The haboob.

You see, the last city I lived in, despite being so close to the city I moved to, had no such thing as haboobs. Instead, we had the occasional tiny dust devil chilling out in an empty dirt lot. So one day about a month after moving we experienced this great thing:




And as it turned out, it was a very common occurrence there and doesn't happen in most of the rest of south western US. They're actually very tranquil and pleasant as long as you don't breath in without a mask and don't open your eyes.



So yeah, what's the weather like there? Or places you have been that are noteworthy?

Also thank Varrok for the thread idea.
