Less humid here, actually. Tucson gets monsoons in the summer months and averages 12" a year. Vegas may get one or two storms in the summer, but the yearly rainfall is 3". That's exactly what I need.
Vegas is welcome to some of Ireland's rainfall - plenty to go around!! ;)
summer of 80, I was caught in a monsoon in Tucson. I had to pull over, as I could not drive. I was there for an hour before I realized that I had parked in front of an Elephant Bar & Grill.......................that is about all I remember : )
