Perfect Weather in San Diego Today (average, flood, map)

[sdurbanite]

So not only do we have to worry about hammerheads off La Jolla, but also killer whales off Point Loma. Check out this incredible video from yesterday. Scary but exciting at the same time.

First ever $300 AC bill...and I'm 1/4 mile from the bay DT with no high rises in front of me or blocking my building....guess we're paying for the new Sempra HQ building.

That's crazy. I recall reading somewhere that SDG&E has some of the highest electrical rates in the Country.

I've been as high as $270 for a summer month or two in the past....having vaulted ceilings/loft in my townhome and facing southwest (worst possible direction for afternoon sunlight/heat) is nothing new....however, touching just north of $300 (and I keep my thermostat at 74, not 68) is a first.

I thought most people set their thermostat to 78 during the summer? But I get it, you like to pull the covers over you every night in bed. Who doesn't?

And don't put those umbrellas and fans away just yet. Looks like another tropical rain event is forecast for Sunday thru Tuesday. They're saying this could be the wettest September of record.

Exerpt from the National Weather Service this morning -

THE UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD ON SUN...AND A WEAK UPPER LOW
DEVELOPS ABOUT 600 MILES OFF THE COAST OF CENTRAL BAJA. THIS WILL
BRING SOUTHERLY MONSOONAL FLOW TO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND
INCREASING SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE. SUNDAY WILL LIKELY BE THE WARMEST
DAY WITH INLAND TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 DEGREES.
AS HIGH CLOUDS MOVE IN ON SUNDAY TEMPS COULD BE MITIGATED...BUT THE
TIMING OF THE HIGH CLOUD COVER APPEARS TO BE LATER IN THE
DAY...AFTER MAX HEATING. A SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL BRING A SURGE OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY LATE SUN
THROUGH TUE. THIS WILL BRING CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH
ISOLD/SCT TSTMS SPREADING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION. NUMERICAL
MODELS ESTIMATE PRECIPITABLE WATER TOTALS OF 1.5 TO 2 INCHES. WITH
THIS MUCH AVAILABLE MOISTURE...AT LEAST LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING
WILL BE POSSIBLE MON INTO TUE...MAINLY IN THE FOOTHILLS AND ON MTN
SLOPES. THE CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP WILL KEEP TEMPS LOWER ON MON THAN
THEY WOULD OTHERWISE BE...BUT WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH TUE.

That would follow a record July rain and the wettest May since 1921. A very unusual dry season.

I do not consider 74 to be excessively cool and also need to keep the temperature in my house below 75 so that beetle eggs do not hatch inside my cigars.

Those are East County electric bills, not downtown. You must have a big pad to cool down.

Just get something to circulate the air better, no way someone living near the bay should pay that much for AC.

So is this because of El Nino, or just a freakishly humid September? Any experts out there?
