Nobody in California ever said that shit.
Having rain 3 days a year isn’t bipolar weather
Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst

Yeah but weather over there fluctuates a lot between on fire and not on fire

A couple years ago I was back in Florida visiting my parents and I forgot how weird shit was there sometimes. About 75+ degrees outside and out of nowhere sudden hail/downpour. Hail of all different sized, one piece was like half a soft ball. Went on for maybe 60 seconds. Was long enough for me to open the door, acknowledge I could no longer see shit, and then pick up that giant piece of ice and the storm cloud passed. A bit over 2-3" of rain I emptied out of the rain gauge.
Everywhere has weird weather moments, but that one will always stand out to me.

You must be Southern California. Northern it rains all the time.

Well, guess it’s nice to know I’m not giving away my location when I complain.
Aeao@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I worked for a dollar branded store they would monitor the companies Reddit for employees that were being saying something bad.
They’d look thru the account for pictures of the store layout or anything identifiable. Like the weather on certain days were specifically helpful yes.
Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Are you willing to name and shame? Which company was it?
TaterTot@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Sure, but I was talking about general complaints. Things like, “the drivers here are so bad”, “the winters are too cold and the summers are too hot”, “the government sure is poorly run”, “the yellow sports car parked out in front of the fast food place I work looks so stupid”, “I hate my boss and his stupid name, like seriously, who is named Methuselah Honeysuckle”, and “If they don’t give me a raise this time, I’m going to start a union, I’m serious, working a Chipotle sucks”.
You know, the kind of stuff that could never be traced back to me.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No Californian would say that. The weather is stable and nice 9 months of the year and cloudy and nice the sun the other 3.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Unless it’s a little bit too hot and too dry
Vespair@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Hey, the drivers in my state are fine. It’s the drivers in the neighboring state that are all reckless idiots who don’t know to drive.
MasterNerd@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Nah drivers in my state don’t know how to drive either
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
“If you don’t like the weather in [insert location] wait five minutes”
I used to naively believe this was actually unique to Newfoundland. Recently learned that it’s a saying everywhere and everyone acts like it’s unique to where they live
chuckleslord@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s not, though. People from LA will say the exact opposite.
That saying pops up anywhere where there’s a large range of weather. Which is most places, but not everywhere.
sydd@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What do people in LA say then? “Well if you don’t like the weather… Get used to it?”
VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
I have heard this almost exclusively for Florida and not any of the surrounding states.
kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Nah, Florida’s gone from bright, clear, and sunny to “holy fuck, did we forget about a hurricane hitting land?” In the time it’s taken me to go to the bathroom.
Not use the bathroom. Just getting there.

Aneb@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
People say it abt New England, Great Lakes, the South, the Midwest. Literally everywhere I’ve lived, if you don’t like the weather… wait.
Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Per my experience, Oklahoma has the dumbest drivers, Texas and California are tied for the most aggressive drivers (but simultaneously skilled just enough to not cause mass genocide), and Virginia has the worst road layout.
There’s a lot of different flavors of shit.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
There’s a big difference between drivers who only drive in rural areas and drivers who drive in crowded rush hour traffic in big cities. And, different big cities have their own challenges. As a visitor, trying to navigate LA’s freeway hell was awful, and the drivers who were used to it were not at all accommodating. But, I think LA drivers would find driving in Boston and its Masshole drivers to be hell, because it’s all about squeezing down narrow streets that come from a time before automobiles.
MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I used to be a trucker. Drive everything east of the Mississippi.
Indiana has the dumbest drivers. Never have I been to a state with a lower average i.q. Idk, it might be an environmental thing, like in the water, or too many generations of cousin fucking. But something ain’t right there. They make poor choices and have a lack of self preservation.
New england the rudest, but they’re at least predictable. When they do something rude and reckless its always in pursuit of a goal. E.g. making the next exit, turn, lane ect.
The south has the most lackadaisical drivers. They just don’t give a fuck. They’re doing what they’re doing and that’s that.
The Midwest has the nicest most considerate drivers, and as a result traffic jams are far fewer, everything just flows smoother.
starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
California I believe has the statistically worst drivers. New York id say has the most insane but skillful enough to somehow not die drivers.
mikezane@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
moneygeek.com/…/states-with-the-worst-drivers/
New Mexico has the worse drivers, Texas is fifth. California seems to just be average.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Call me weird but I enjoy driving in Manhattan. People drive at a reasonable pace.

I witnessed a right turn from the left lane in utah. Except the street was 4 lanes wide.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I can confirm that Texas drivers are the worst drivers in Kansas
Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Went to Texas once. Made it to Paris, was there for a couple minutes, decided to leave after almost being involved in a fatal car crash right in front of me
Wammityblam@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
In central Indiana it was 70 with tornados and then 20 and snowing two day later.
IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I was gonna say the same. I’m middle east coast, and one day will be 85f and the next can be below freezing, and alternate each day for a week after, and that’s before precipitation/wind.
tyler@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
In Colorado those changes can happen same day within a few hours. No need for multiple days. It will be 14f in the morning, snowing, then by lunch it’s all melted and 60-70 then by dinner it’s incredibly windy and raining.
Soulphite@reddthat.com 2 weeks ago
1st Feburary, 2026 it was nearly as cold in Miami Florida (35 F [1.7 C]) as it was in Chicago Illinois (30 F [-1.1 C])
CidVicious@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
Living at altitude, this is actually true. Very low atmospheric buffering. Temperature swings of 40 degrees within a few hours.
realitista@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
Yeah in Colorado it can be 60 degrees and sunny and snowing in the same day

‘don’t like the weather, wait an hour.’, everywhere state i’ve been to.

spacesatan@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
I assume you mean about the drivers. In monsoon season it’s absolutely ‘the forecast cannot help you. It might rain here, it might rain 50 yards away’
skiguy0123@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Yeah well in [insert location] we have two seasons, winter and construction.
PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Construction isn’t a season where I’m at, it’s a constant. Our seasons are hot, wildfire, mudslide, and earthquake.
merc@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I’m guessing wherever you live doesn’t have lots of snow and frozen ground.
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Florida is hot and construction
OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
In my state, it was 70° last week; now it is 28°.
Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Here in New England we don’t talk about rain and shine, we talk about how yesterday was 60f and today it’s 17f with getting 3ft of snow.
brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Just looked it up and apparently my state actually has a remarkably low rate of traffic deaths, so apparently we’re actually pretty good drivers
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
The real issue is being temperate enough to freeze, but not cold enough regularly to have good road maintenance or drivers experienced with ice/snow.
BanMe@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Arkansas doesn’t require driver’s ed so I think we do have the market cornered on bad drivers. I see folks slam on their brakes on the interstate, reverse back to their exit, the interstates themselves were obviously designed by folks who don’t understand how it works, etc. I’ve lived in several states and never seen anything quite like it.
Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 2 weeks ago
Florida literally has a monsoon season where it goes from sunny to pouring to sunny around the same time every day for like 4 months.
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
All the drivers in my state are the worst, and all the drivers from other states are the worst too.
TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It is a scientific fact that Tennessee has the worst drivers. Not my state, btw.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
PNW here, nope, it’s just a light rain, sometimes some sun, but that’s seasonal. Rarely there’s a storm.
The Midwest on the other hand, nah it typically gives you fair warning when it’s about to do something crazy
Starski@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Nah, when I say this I’m referring to when my temperature goes from (in fahrenheit) -5, to almost 50, to 10 degrees in only 4 days. Got rain one day and snow the next.
AlfalFaFail@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Its raining in Oregon. We’ll see the sun in July… Hopefully.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve lived in quite a few places and I still think of Maryland drivers as the worst I’ve encountered. Istanbul drivers are the most ballsy/skilled/terrifying/helpful.
RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2 weeks ago
Everyone in the midatlantic agrees delaware drivers are the worst.
13igTyme@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Few years ago I moved to Oregon. Because of the Willamette valley and mountains, it never gets to hot or cold though out the year. Like a perfect year round average.
tamal3@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I have very recently discovered that the drivers in my area are not the worst. That designation is reserved solely for the city of Miami. Grand Theft Auto was right (GTF was also weirdly correct about the number of Lamborghinis and Ferraris in that city. Not made up).
Now I suspect that all the bad driving in my state might be the half-backs from Florida… Ha!
chunes@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You missed Idaho
Jyek@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
In Houston, some days there isn’t a cloud in the sky, then it rains like 2 inches over 30 minutes and then it goes back to clear skies and the water evaporates making the air sticky. Goes from perfect to drenched to perfect to a totally different kind of drenched in an hour’s time. Also the drivers all lose their minds when the weather changes. So all the time… I guess.
Tahl_eN@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona’s drivers are much worse.
bulwark@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I was going to say everywhere but San Diego. I would describe the weather there as room temperature.
WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
NorCal here. Weather here isn’t great but it’s very predictable.
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Speak for yourself. Love and miss that cooler, predictable weather. Sick of this shit where I send my kids to school in 30 degree weather and pick them up in 70-80 degree weather. ALSO…IT. FUCKEN. WIMDY. And to top it off stank ass Bradford pears spaffing into the breeze through spring and summer. Oh and lots of tornados every year. Oklahoma weather is bullshit.
IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
A buddy of mine helped his sister move from AZ to Socal, he comes from a family of city-planner types, so he’s constantly going on about roadway designs. He told me that while my area has better constructed roads, and our drivers are terrible, that Socal had worse roads, but great drivers (road discipline wise, at least). Probably sample bias but neat trivia.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The main thing I noticed about Socal drivers is frequent horn use.
BigDiction@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Washington has the worst drivers on the west coast.
Oregon has the best.
CA and AZ are both pretty average.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Arizona is not on the West Coast
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Missouri here. Most of this area is valid in making the weather statement. Because we’re right where weather fronts live to meet up at to fight we will literally get times when the high is 35f one day and then 70f the next. I think last year we had a day that went from 78f to 19f over the course of like half a day.
