Southerly surge is in full swing this morning as the Bay Area had offshore flow the last few days.

"H5 heights thru the period are 
  generally expected to be rather high and in the 589-591 dm." NWS_LA

 

Even in June Gloom conditions these values would normally result in hot temps inland a ways.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Getting warm although the clouds are very slow to burn off.

[Guest happ]

Dew point temp are in high 60’s in low desert but low 60’s or even high 50’s in coastal areas. Wonder if lower DP’s cooled minimums last night? Two degrees cooler.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Clouds have become mostly scattered, but the clouds that remain are being pushed around with quite a force. Probably Cajon Pass will be fogged in tomorrow morning.

[Guest happ]

74F here; clear but windy 

[Guest happ]

No beach day/ beach weekend. 

 

75/ 63

[Anti Marine Layer]

Strange day today. By 10 am it warmed up feeling like the sun was about to come out, but that took another 2 hours. By afternoon the wind made it feel cooler in the shade than when it was cloudy even though the sun was out most of the time.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Low clouds have made it further inland this morning, but they look to be not quite as thick as yesterday.

[Guest happ]

Good chance today's max will be in the 70's again and may end the month w/ negative departures if troughs persist as predicted. 6 days below 80F so far which isn't unusual considering the average monthly max is 82°.

Its surprisingly humid today with scattering marine layer clouds. Temperature is 71F with a dew point of 60F. Partly cloudy now

Looks like wind has shifted to the southeast from the shape of the areas of clear sky off the islands. This may have also helped pull the clouds away.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Paso Robles was only 76 F today after reaching 101 F yesterday.

[Guest happ]

Earlier clearing today

Seems to be a little less gloomy this morning. No coastal heat waves expected in the near future, but that is pretty typical for this time of year. Hoping to see a monsoon pattern develop by early July

[Guest happ]

First morning free of stratus in several days

Strange pattern. Marine layer has deepened over Central California and become less deep over Southern California.

[Thunder98]

Yes indeed, the marine layer has deepened quite a bit and its still overcast.

[Guest happ]

Tropical storm [now depression] "Daniel" off Baja. Wonder how we can tap into the moisture?

[Guest happ]

Speaking of tropical, I took these last week. Sometimes called a "wild banana" tree, "strelitzia Nicolai" [giant bird of paradise] does not produce fruit but have beautiful flowers.

 

[Guest happ]

Warm day

[Anti Marine Layer]

More sunshine today, but sea breeze kept things from getting too hot.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Whether it's called June Gloom or la garua, some people love it and some people hate it.

 

Lima, Peru has a very boring climate like us, which is not exactly a tropical paradise. They are at 12 S. The Humboldt Current keeps waters chilly there. That means lots of drizzle, no significant rainfall, and no hurricanes.

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like the beaches cleared out well today. However, breeze still feels a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, especially in the late afternoon.

[Guest happ]

Pretty typical late June conditions

 

85/ 61

[Anti Marine Layer]

Weather pattern remains rather boring pre monsoon season. No 122 F heat in Palm Springs anytime soon, unlike the last 2 years.

[Guest happ]

Coastal low clouds moved in shortly after sunrise. 

 

Overcast: 63F

6 degrees warmer yet only a mile or so away & 850' above me

[Guest happ]

Just another "wet dream"

 

[Guest happ]

Starting to get into the uncomfortable range day by day

Waking up to the exact same weather every morning it begins to feel like the movie Groundhog Day.

[Thunder98]

The weather is boring!

Boredom is the middle name of California's climate   But models are forecasting the placement of the 4-corner's high later next week.

The forecast shows temperatures in the upper 80's next weekend in Santa Maria. Hopefully we some monsoonal moisture coming in.

[Guest happ]

or "minisoonal" 

 

Actually a little moisture/ light rain was reported from remnants of last 2 tropical systems earlier this month but mostly in higher terrain. 

[Minny_Weather]

Can the ridge move West so you guys get a massive heat wave and we get cool temperatures already?
