It is uncharacteristically hot and sticky in SoCal today. We’ve been here 13 months. We’re peaking!
Sunday at 1:00 PM PDT it’s 83°, 65° dew point. In Connecticut, where I spent three decades, that’s an average summer day. Here it is unusual.
We’re 8° closer to the equator. The Sun is 8° higher in the sky. Its path to the ground is more direct, its effect much more pronounced.
The Sun in New England never gets as high in the sky as it does during the summer in SoCal.
We had a little rain yesterday. Probably not the .01″ needed to count. There are rules.
In San Diego, Kristen Cusato said they led with rain on her 10:00 PM news on KUSI. I don’t think she was joking.
A quick check of the forecast models says we stay sticky for a few more days. The next real rain doesn’t come until Thanksgiving, maybe later.
Not that I’m kvetching.
