It is very hot and muggy and thunderstorms pop up all over the place, but they are very scattered and don't last too long.
I'm just west of you in Hillsborough. I never stop riding on the threat of rain. The only time rain stops me is when it's really torrential. I'd say that happens to me once or twice a year. Like you said, rain can start 30 minutes after clear blue sky and stop just as quickly.
