I'm a little familiar with that part of the Gulf Coast. In the early '70's I was stationed in Pascagoula just down the road from Biloxi when the Navy sub I was on went in the Litton yards for overhual. Rain does come down by the bucket fulls in the Spring in those parts.For the polar opposite, we get 60 or 70 inches per year, frequently in BIG clumps - Nearly 10 inches over the last 3 or 4 days and more to come before it starts to dry out Monday

I have a cousin who lives over in Bay St. Louis. We're debating whether or not to go as far South as Jacksonville, FL and take I-10 on the way back to Arizona & stop by to visit my cousin after our East coast trailering trip & Chesapeake cruise this summer. Will depend on the weather in late July-early August. It'll be at the height of hurricane season. If it's too hot & sticky we can go back up to New England and come back across the upper Midwest and do some cruising on the Great Lakes before returning to AZ via the Northern route. We're used to the dry heat here. While it may get up into the 100s, the humidity can be 10% or less. Makes a big difference. The trick is to stay out of the sun and in the shade.
Here's a couple shots from last weekend at our sailing club "Surf n Turf" event. This was a combination RV campout/beach party and sailbaot raftup. Our boat is 4th from right, the only one without a mast.
