The US has been hammered by the cold and snow and rain this year. Everyone is happily welcoming today, officially the first day of spring, March 20th!!!
Year round, Palm Springs is the warmest and sunniest city in the US. Using weather.com's after the fact reporting, here was January's weather this year in Palm Springs:
Palm Springs had 9 days of 80F or above in January. And 16 days at 75F and above. Zero days of rain and only 2 days where we were cloudy. And we were sunny for about 5hours on each of those two "cloudy" days.
Compare this weather to Florida.
Tampa, Florida ONLY had 1 day above 80F in January and ONLY 9 days at 75F or warmer. Also Tampa had 8 cloudy rainy days.
And if you look at Miami, they only had 4 days of 80F or above and 12 days where they had rain and clouds.
Now another thing people always forget, official temperatures are ALWAYS taken in the shade, so in a sunny city like Palm Springs, it always will feel much warmer than it really is compared to a cloudy state like Florida.
The state of Florida, which is the rainiest state in the nation is a major tourism marketing machine. Even though Florida is the rainiest state in the nation, they came up with the marketing slogan, "Sunshine State." This shows if you repeat something often enough, people will actually believe you as many people actually think Florida is the sunniest state in the US.
For instance, in the summer, Tampa, Orlando, and Miami are 3 of the 10 rainiest cities in America, yet millions of people vacation there because of the "Sunshine State" marketing.
Unfortunately, the city of Palm Springs does not have the marketing money that Florida has, so unless you have vacationed in our beautiful city, or read my blog, you will never realize that there really are parts of the US where you can vacation for instance for a month or longer and not have rain at all during your vacation.
