Rainy? Rain averages 13-14 inches a year in San Jose.
- chrismeller 8y agoI'm not saying it's Seattle or Portland... should I have said "misty" or "gray and miserable"? The specific amount of sky water wasn't really the point of the question.
- oblio 8y agoThe Bay Area is far from "misty" or "gray and miserable". Go live in some places that are truly like that, and then compare. Examples: Scotland, Luxembourg, etc.
- TulliusCicero 8y ago??? Have you ever actually been to the bay area? Compared to the most of the country, compared to most of the developed world it's sunny as all hell.
- xapata 8y agoAre you saying the Bay Area is synonymous with San Jose?
- masonic 8y agoRainfall is similar around the Bay Area, with the North Bay getting generally more rain than the South Bay, but everywhere in the Bay area is below average rainfall for non-desert areas. Also, only SF proper could be considered particularly "cool".
- xapata 8y agoSeattle gets less rainfall than Atlanta, by annual volume. The way we speak about and measure rain don't always match.
- chrismeller 8y agoExactly! I swear that sometimes I feel like I’m on Reddit here. Gray and miserable is a quantifiable thing, but doesn’t match with the normal measure. It doesn’t have much to do with climate overall but can be disasterous to your mood. He’s looking at leaving the area in debate, so does it really matter what anyone else thinks about it? Of course not, it was purely a talking point to make sure OP thought about the climate.
