Hot, then stormy. I love when a summer day starts out beautiful, with bright blue skies and fluffy white cumulus for the productive hours of the day. Then in mid-afternoon, the clouds get taller, darker, and heavier, the humidity increases, and the air feels thick and tense. A far-off rumble of thunder breaks the silence and soon streaks of lightning are visible in the distance. The wind picks up and rain is soon to follow, and within minutes I'm in the middle of a violent storm, the wind whipping the trees and rain lashing the windows. It's even more exciting if there's hail or threat of a tornado. Everything is exciting and dramatic.

After several minutes, the storm leaves even more quickly than it arrives. The rain and wind dissipates, leaving nothing but an open sky strewn with colorful clouds-- and sometimes, depending on timing, even a sunset.

And that's pretty much a perfect day, weather-wise, for me. Where I grew up these days were common in summer. I'd probably love to live someplace tropical, where at certain times of year this entire show is a daily event.

New Orleans has wweather like that, but it's really really hot.

I can handle really hot as long as I can take some breaks in halfway-decent AC. (Like at work, or at home at the end of the day). From what it sounds like talking to my sister (she's at school at Tulane), southern Japan wasn't as hot as New Orleans (though the humidity was comparable), but I still envied her because she could at least cool off in most indoor spaces whereas my house and workplace were at best only a few degrees cooler inside, and sometimes hotter! Plus New Orleans frequently gets storms whereas Japan seldom does, so it makes it more "worth it" in my world, lol. At any rate I think I'd like New Orleans weather better than my sister does. She's not really a fan >.<

If I have to deal with an extreme temperature, I'd rather it be heat than cold!
