There has been off and on rain here in Orange from yesterday to today and some of these bands have been moderate to heavy at times. When we get a break in the rain, I will post a total from Friday night to the date I post.

 

I received just over 6" of rain here in Orange during January, which turned out to be one of the wettest months in recent years for my area.

With today about the same amount of daylight as November 5, we are half way through the winter season. The sunrise and sunset are both 30 minutes later, however, because solar noon went from 11:34 AM in November to 12:04 PM today.

 

Looks like we may see a little more sunshine today, except for Fullerton Airport where it will probably be showing heavy rain all day long with very little precipitation totals.

Still the coldest February average high ever for Downtown LA, but that's only for seven days. We are sure to get some warmer weather some time, even if it's the last few days of the month.

The rain lasted just 40 minutes here this morning as the front moved through. I'd rather have prolonged, drawn-out storms but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

 

We had enough of those last weekend and early this week. At least I got to enjoy the sunshine this afternoon.

 

John Wayne Airport is just 0.10" below their annual average after this morning's storm with a total of 13.23". Downtown L.A. is 1.76" below theirs with a total of 13.17". Last year at this time Downtown LA only had 1.86".

Latest solar noon of the year in Pacific Standard Time with the actual time of solar noon just over 30 1/2 minutes later than back on the first day of Fall Back. You may have noticed most of the light gained has been in the evening since the Winter Solstice. We will now start to gain more daylight in the mornings than we do in the evenings.

San Diego (71 F) and Fullerton (71 F) both had higher maximum temperatures than Palm Springs (64 F) today. That usually doesn't happen without Santa Ana Winds, so there must have been some offshore flow.

 

Los Angeles forecast discussion said yesterday that easterly winds could lower the rainfall totals.

Beautiful, but chilly day today. The mountains were completely white this morning with some snow on top of Saddleback Mountain as well. Too bad the atmospheric river is going to melt most of the snow.

 

More snow is (or, was until today) visible from my side of the Santa Ana Mountains. Snow was on the mountains down to around 4,000 feet a couple of days ago.

I can confirm the offshore flow. Humidity dipped down to 15% here this afternoon. It's at 59% now.
