The average humidity in Palm Springs, California, typically ranges from 20% to 30%, making it one of the drier locations in the United States. Humidity levels are generally lower in the summer months due to high temperatures, while winter months can see slightly higher humidity. The desert climate contributes to these low humidity levels, making it a popular destination for those seeking dry heat.

The California Fan Palm (Washingtonia Filifera) while more common in California and Mexico can also be found growing wild in canyons near Yuma. The Palm Canyon Trail at the Kofa National Wildlife refuge is one of the best places to see these palm trees in Arizona. Note that some suggest these palms were brought into Arizona relatively recently from California and thus aren't truly native. A few sources even claim that the California Palm is a Mediterranean variety that was introduced by the Spaniards. The well established use of the fruit by native people seems to contradict this.
Yes, Palm Springs is home to biting insects such as mosquitoes and gnats, especially during the warmer months. It's advisable to use insect repellent and cover up exposed skin while outdoors to minimize the risk of bites.
Yes, Palm Springs was once underwater. Millions of years ago, during the Miocene epoch, the area was part of an ancient lake known as Lake Cahuilla. Over time, geological changes caused the lake to dry up, leaving behind the desert landscape that we see today. Fossils and sedimentary deposits found in the region provide evidence of its aquatic past.

There are two palms native to Texas. Sabal mexicana and sabal minor. Before being widely settled in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Lower Rio Grande River Valley had large groves of palm trees. A sanctuary containing some of these still exists. Be warned, some ill informed people believe all palm trees originated in Africa. If you see this kind of nonsense posted, recognize that you are dealing with someone who is ignorant of Texas plant life.
Fifteen thousand years ago, Palm Springs was part of a much different landscape, characterized by a cooler and wetter climate. The area was likely populated by various prehistoric fauna and early human inhabitants who hunted and gathered. The presence of lakes and rivers supported diverse plant and animal life, making it a vital resource for ancient peoples. Over time, climatic changes transformed the region into the arid desert environment we see today.
