I was just at Diego last weekend...80 at the beach and 90 in El Cajon and Ramona. I love those Santa Anas as Labor Day to Halloween the best time to dive into the Pacific. Not sure why you left East County. Love the Campo area climatically and geographically. Tecate my favorite border town too !

Thankfully it's pretty nice out right now, nice sunset too. The cloud coverage really helped today.

Tecate Divide near Golden Acorn truly separates Pacific and Desert air. Monsoons rarely get much further west than Jacumba. Love the microclimates out that way. Always windy between Pine Valley and Jacumba with the convergence of Pacific and Desert air.

The sky had some wild colors tonight. It was -35 last night back east and here's our view out back while we were eating dinner tonight.

Pretty photo Gixxer.

I'm just trying to be optimistic, Valley Native. You are on record early and often about not buying this El Nino and so far you've been proven right. It will definitely go down as an all-time bust if it persists like this. I do know that persistent high pressure has been a bit of a West Coast climatology issue the last few years, e.g. the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge from a year ago or so that had such an impact on the California drought. So I am definitely curious to see if and when the jets shift and if we get some storms tracking through here, or if the West is going to get locked into a dry, hot pattern despite the El Nino.

That said, I hope you have to eat crow and we all get a very wet late spring here in the Valley!

It was noticeably cooler yesterday over Saturday, but still quite nice. Great day to be out and about with the convertible top down, at least until the clouds came in late in the afternoon and it cooled off.


I was also outside admiring the sunset. Photos never do it justice.

El Nino (was going to be huge this year) turned out to be a big flop. What we see is pretty much the new norm.

I like warmer weather but 90-degree temperatures are insane for February.

I thought this winter was supposed to be colder and rainier?

There sure haven't been many rainstorms and it seems like we leaped from winter to late spring in a week's time.

Unfortunately we cannot afford the ever warmer and drier weather here in Arizona if we want to keep it inhabitable. If the trend from the last 30-40 years continues it's lights out here for humans.

I wonder about that myself. I mean, I found myself very sensitive to this past winter's cold - thinking maybe I am adapting more than ever. But 90 in February, as one said, is a bit much. What does that mean in 20 years from now? 105 in February? 135 in July? 150 in August of 2040? I expect to be alive then. Maybe I'm overreacting but wow, it seems like it could be possible. I suppose I could just move!
