Weather in Yucca Valley - 11/1/2011
Having lived in Yucca Valley for 40 years now, I would like to comment on the climate.
I don't know if we (my wife and I) are more sensitive to heat than others, but it seems as if the summers have become increasingly more humid and last longer than years ago. I disagree that it is affordable to cool a home here. For the months of July, August and September, our average electric bill is well over $200 a month. That is keeping the house around 74 degrees.
Winters can feel quite cold when the north wind is blowing. The high desert is definitely a land of extremes with wind, high/low temperatures.
I think one can have 'desert burnout' after many years of looking at dirt and Joshua trees and miss the beauty that newcomers behold. I still love the wildlife and blue skies.[read more...] |

Real Temperature - 1/17/2007
The average July temperature is not 77 degrees, but 100. If the summers were really that cool, the place would be a bustling resort. It's pretty there, however, with a green desert and wonderful views of the San Gorgonio and San Jacinto mountains. The smog rolls in once in a while from LA, then blows out again. Most of the time the air is good and the skies very blue. Yucca is a quiet, laid-back desert community where you can get away from the "real" world and relax...that is, when the ground isn't rocking with earthquakes.[read more...] |

Low cost and close to everything - 5/25/2006
Yucca Valley is located about 30 minutes North of Palm Springs, CA. The cost of housing here is substantially lower than in Palm Springs. During the summer months, the average temp is approximately 20 degrees cooler, but we still enjoy very low humidity. This keeps the cost of cooling homes very low. We are at an altitude of 3500 ft above sea level, so there are great mountain views. Driving times to Las Vegas, San Diego, Disneyland, or Magic Mountain are all about 3 hours.[read more...] |
