HTT -- Summertime Semi-Tropical Clouds in Santa Clara County, California

These power lines in northern Santa Clara County may originate at Hetch Hetchy Dam across California's Central Valley (will verify).

 

Each summer, clouds of monsoonal moisture from Arizona visit Central California, sometimes providing a rare thundershower around Greater San Francisco Bay.

 

I grew up around San Francisco, where brief thundershowers happened once or twice a year. As I my experience widened to Santa Clara County near the Santa Cruz Mountains and Contra Costa County near Mt. Diablo, I experienced more thundershowers.
