We have more crappy days here than nice days. It's funny when you see people driving around in convertibles when there are maybe 5 days out of the entire year that are nice enough for that. Can you imagine sitting in a convertible, stuck in traffic, in 100 degree humid heat?
The fall is the best time of year, late October and early November. In my opinion, that's when the climate is the most comfortable. Spring is nice, too, but it's too humid.
Heh... I've experienced the same thing when I spent a couple summers in Phoenix. Course, it's a dry heat, but it's still dang hot. I came back without a tan, and everyone here said "How come you're so white? I thought you'd have a dark tan?" I said "You can't go outside during the daytime! Especially to sit in the sun!"
