Elevation makes a difference

There's a first time for everything, especially if this ends up being coldest June on record.

Raining again.

It is already well into the Inland Empire, which makes it pretty amazing that it burned off at all.

Already misting

2019 had a cold SW, warm NW pattern in May but then California warmed up by early June. What's amazing is both May 2019 and May 2023 have now averaged below 70 F in Downtown LA, which does not happen very often. It only happened about 25 times since records began in 1877. 2020 had a very weak monsoon but I'm not sure if that was because of a weak 4CH or the 4CH being too strong and too far north. It seems climate change is causing patterns of persistent troughing next to persistent ridging and more blocking patterns.

Last year May and June were warm down in California with very little May Gray/June Gloom and an early start to monsoon season. But I remember you froze to death on July 3. Hopefully our summer starts by 4th of July as we have been extremely PNW-like all of 2023 so far.

They also make annoying sounds when backing up

Results as of June 4, 2023: June 4 high: 73 F 2023 average high for Downtown LA as of June 4: 71.25 F Average high for June 5-30, 2023 required to tie coldest June on record: 71.08 F

Beaches cleared out briefly but the ML has come rushing back.

Whole West Coast has had an odd spring with California and the PNW being polar opposites.

Not as much smoke as the West Coast September 2020 fires

Boomers have dropped the temperature into the low 50s at Lake Tahoe.

Close to the ocean?
