If you've lived long, have you noticed a shift in the weather patterns in your area? If, so, please describe.

@tindrummer Sounds as though in your region the weather is getting milder.
Though I've heard the wild fires have been getting worse. Is it getting drier?

@hartfire Other parts of the state are but much of California suffers long periods of limited rainfall interspersed with the opposite.
The L.A. basin is basically a desert.

@tindrummer Sheesh!
My school geography lessons described California as having the widest variation of terrains of any state in the USA, "mediterranean" in the most arable areas - great for wine and olives, - and Spanish style crops.
Maybe if I looked at the CA stats online, I might be able to see how the patterns are changing.
Thank you for your responses. :)
If I could afford to travel, CA would be one of the places I'd love to explore.

@hartfire Where are you?
Hope you get to travel here.
I love it especially for varied outdoor fun stuff - mtns and coast.
Sierra Nevada and Big Sur among others.

@tindrummer On rural land near Tyalgum village, Tweed Valley, Far North Coast NSW, Australia.
If I could, I'd love to go as a cook on an ocean going 14-berth sailing yacht with solar power.
Yes, I love what I've seen in film of those wonderful mountains. Ours here are so ancient they've been worn to nubs by the millions of years. Yours are still young and growing, large enough to dwarf mere humans and put us in our proper place.
I'd also love the music, galleries, universities, Esalon, the naturalist movements, do a camping trail on horseback in the wild, sample the varied cultures, spanish/mexican, etc. Would love to watch the kaleidoscope of people along the broadwalks of the beaches. And maybe swim out into the sealife. 🙂
