Most of you know Florida as either the sunshine state, or once you have made your first vacation here in the summer the always wet, raining, and humid as *#$& state. It has its seasons, such as the 2 weeks worth of winter we get when the temperature can go into the 30s, but its usually only two days at a time and then back into the 60s for a few more days!
Well many people just have never been to Florida and never seen a Florida rainstorm. I've lived in other parts of the US and Florida has some pretty torrential rain we get on the regular here that puts the usual North Pacific Wests sprinklings(not to be confused with the heavy rain) to be put to shame.
I'd like to share a video I took outside my house here in a suburb of central Florida to see how much water accumulates within moments. I wish you could see the rain better but I only had an Samsung Galaxy to record on. There are informational bits in the video too. Was fun to record
This next one I take a quick look at the flooding in the lawns.
This happens daily in the summer, usually starting in july. We do get a lot of rain in June, typically, but there are usually breaks in the rain of a day or a few days. It has been nonstop rain all of June (the water drains each day so flooding isn't too big of a deal). Which has kept the temperature in the 70s range which usually we would be getting more temperature highs in the 80s and 90s. The odd rain weather pattern has also caused certain mushroom species to delay they're growth. Species i would normally see while hiking in June just haven't formed because of the low temps.
