Having grown up in the flat Midwest it was a shock when I realized how quickly the sun goes down when mountains get in the way.

As someone who comes from a region backed by western hills it is odd to see the sun still up after 7pm.
Part of me wants to move to Palm Springs but 6 months of the year being 90+ worries me. I think they hit something like 128 degrees this last summer.
It’s such a beautiful place but I can’t go back to living in a place that has to wrap the door handles in the summer so customers don’t get burns on their hands opening the door.
I’ve lived in Southern California my whole life, and have lived or have family in a good amount of places here.
The one thing I can tell you if you decide to move out here. Don’t move to the desert.
You wanna live in the desert move to Arizona or Las Vegas area. If you move to the California desert all you get is heat, meth, high taxes, and nothing what is great about California. Except for maybe palm trees.
Having grown up there, add in the month or so where it sits above 110°f and often peaks in the 120-130 area every day.
Also, it’s a miserable place to live if you’re not specifically into golf, shopping, and other geriatric pastimes
