Unlike the weather for the Rose Festival itself, the weather this year for the Air Show, being a week later in June, was overcast and cold which is normal for June. Last year it was in July, hot yes, but at least it is easier to cool off and enjoy an airshow than it is trying to stay warm when there is no blue shy. It did clear up enough on Sunday for an hour or so - - at the very end of the whole airshow. Bascially, terrible photographic weather.
