The heat can certainly be unpleasant, but as davesteingass points out, the humidity is what you have to look out for. I'm a native of Michigan who now lives in Missouri. I can't seem to get used to the high humidity and a good moisture trap on your airbrush is a must!

Just got back from Chandler AZ, right next to Phoenix. Oh my god, I thought I was going to melt. The humidity was far higher than normal. Dead [xx(] I will never complain about the NW again. It's a totally different area than where I live, cactus everywhere, and homes that all look alike. [:0] Up here in the NW you can find a coffee shop on almost every corner, down there you have to hunt around for one. Makes sense though, who would want to drink coffee in that climate. There are some really interesting sites down there though. Wouldn't mind visiting, but not living there. Also, hardly anybody has grass in there lawns, just crushed red granite. I like that , low maintenance yard! Tongue [:P]

well up here in saskatchewan, we have the extremes: -40 to about 90 (sometimes, but rarely 100). it is also fairly humid, although not near as humid as lots of places. but I usually do my modeling in the basement, where it stays fairly cool throughout the summer.

Aah yes even here in lovely So. Cal we just experienced an unusual amount of humidity. (Normal in late July for a couple of weeks). But we are back to a normal Mediterranean style climate of dry heat in the 80-100 temp. We get a slight breeze here off the San Gabriels, so with the garage door open and a fan it keeps the work shop comfortable. Throw in some classic rock and several hours on a Sunday I can work on several projects. But it is hard to concentrate at times and with so many things to do it can be hard to stick to it. More projects get completed quicker in October-March time frame where the weather cools off and is more pleasant. Shy [8)] By the way Oregon is beautiful. Trees, Crater Lake, nice people no taxesCool [8D]. But my heart is in So. Cal. Cool [8D]

Well I think I have you all beat! I live out in the middle of the high desert here in so-cal, and it gets to about 116 or higher. and I want to paint so bad but even in the house it gets so hot that my paints dry way to quick!! this sucks and leaves me praying for the fall to come round again.

I live in upstate New York where it is not to bad except in late August. Since it is nice outside, I really do not want to be inside so I built myself an R/C model airplane kit and fly outdoors on nice days and then on windy and rainy days I work on the platic kits. It is a good combination.

It's funny, I go from 110 and boiling to about 68 and raining in only one day. Oh it's great to be back in the Northwest!

I'm here in Northren VA (no, I'm not a redneck Big Smile [:D]), and the weather has been absolutley awful the past several weeks. One moment it's raining, the next, the sun's out. The humidity is horrible and when it's hot, it's HOT!!!! Maybe that's why our family vacation's going up to Maine....

Can't model much because I can't get outside to airbrush. My spraybooth's arriving, but in the meantime, I usually go out on the deck and paint. The rain stops me. Whenever I open the door, it rains. Scary....

Last year, it was so hot I couldn't use spray paint until the fall. The temp. was 105 with 100% humidity for almost two months.
