Last time I visited Alabama it was in the early summer when it was just about a humid as rain with no clouds in the sky, nothing like the west coast or the North West. I am planning on getting rain gear this year but I am not sure about fenders for my MTB. I guess I could get some snap-on fenders for my back up road bike? But I don’t start out in the rain I get caught in it and have to make my way home.
Mobile averages rain on 120 days out of the year...the difference is once the storms pass the sun comes out

I like humidity, I spent a week in Phoenix a few years back and was uncomfortable. Denver I did a bit better with, Charleston, SC or Savannah, GA work great for me.
