This weekend and early next week looks a lot like 2015 with the hot days and very warm nights. Lets see if this forecast holds by then.

Both 2011 and 2013 had a similar pattern where summer started off cool and cloudy and then things really spiked in August and September. Fingers crossed for Summer 2020 to finish with a bang.

Mornings when low clouds cover San Diego County and parts of Orange County while playing hooky on Los Angeles County seem to indicate northwest wind upwelling events and we have had quite a few of those this summer. Could be the reason LAX struggles to reach 70 each day even with abundant sunshine.

 

Could have another pick and choose your climate event this weekend with beaches near 70 and a 20 minute drive inland near 100 for the high temperatures.

It's likely that immediate coast could have some record low maximum temperatures today. Wow!

And yet inland areas are near normal. Woodland Hills and Winnetka at a toasty 95. Once you get about 10 miles from the water the cold anomalies are gone. Definitely looks to be the work of unusually cool ocean waters.

A sight I’ve been waiting for all summer! A bit of fog still clinging to the notorious Torrance/Redondo coastal strip, but we’ve got a sunny and slightly warmer day to compensate for that chilly night.

 

Also, inland areas warming faster today. Warmest valleys already 90+ and it’s not even noon yet.

Amazing how remnants of a hurricane bring warmer weather to the coast here. There's been days with lots of mid/high clouds warmer than clear sunny days.

Delay the onset of the sea breeze by a few hours and magic happens. Corner thermometer read 78 before it kicked in. Hard for things to warm up when it’s already puffing away by 9am.

 

Will this new pattern finally suppress the persistent northwesterly flow? Time will tell.
