its been settled that the data is wrong. nowhere else in Southern CA does that occur.
The 30 F in July was confirmed wrong but the upper 30s F record lows in every summer month in Laguna Niguel was confirmed via multiple sources. Just as the coastline locations that have average highs in the 70s in summer can see mid 90s in winter, we can also see colder summer nights than our average winter nights. We can also see long stretches of daytime highs only in the 60s at the beaches in a La Nina summer (remember the summer of 2010!). It's one of the quirks about California's climate. The last few days were hotter than the average summer day on the coast for sure.

30s in summer is erroneous, no sources prove that. Show me the source and then we will talk. But don't show me the one you previously tried to prove that 30s in summer occurred in mission viejo, where the station recordings were obviously messed up.
Just to show you how wrong that is, the closest official station to mission viejo is John Wayne airport and its record lows are in the 50s for summer, nowhere here has 20 F differences at night. In the day yes at night no.
You made a thread trying to prove this we all said it was wrong and couldn't possibly have occurred, but you keep insisting.
Feb 3 2005: 138.8mm in one day, when the long term average for the month is 44.4mm. The month of February in 2005 recieved 200.6mm in total, the highest total of any month recorded since records began in 1970.
7-14 November 2009: The average high for this week was 32.4°C, 10.8°C above the average (in Melbourne City).
19-25 December 1995: An entire week under 20°C, in summer.
25 July 1986: SNOW!! Temperatures were 0.4°C/6.4°C for the day. Such a shame I wasn't alive then
29 January 2009: A minimum temperature of 30.5°C, which is 16.8°C above the average. The maximum for that day was 44.2°C, so it was like being in Dubai for the day.
Oh, I forgot to mention: on August 13, 2014 we (on Central LI) had an extreme precipitation event, where 13 inches (343 mm) of rain fell in a nine-hour period. This broke the New York state 24-hour precipitation record by two inches, and was twice as much as we had ever encountered before. During this event, 5.34 inches (136 mm) fell in just one hour See the thumbnails.
December 1989 was our coldest December since at least 1940 with an average temperature of 34.6 F. February 1990 was our warmest February since at least 1940 with an average temperature of 51.0 F. Note that these happened the same winter.
I checked and found that, where you’re living in North Carolina, December 1989 was “only” the coldest December since 1917 (a month which had perhaps the most extreme weather anomalies over North America as a whole, comparable to July 1993 or the Januaries of 1949 and 1950, though with opposite sign) and February 1990 was only the hottest since 1927.
It’s actually not rare to have one month of a season very hot and another very cool – for a random example here in Melbourne we averaged the second-coolest January on record in 1899 at 22.74˚C, yet December (25.95˚C) and February (27.99˚C) of that summer were both very hot. Moreover, over the contiguous US, January 1930 was the third-coldest (coldest month between 1889 and 1976) but February 1930 remains even with the impact of man-made global warming still the second-warmest from coast to coast.

Interesting. That reminds me of winter 1985 in Daytona Beach - the all-time record low of 15F happened on January 22, and then on February 1 set the monthly record high of 89F. Less than 2 weeks apart!
