Black Hole Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 At my office (NWS Phoenix) we cover Imperial and Riverside counties. I've been watching temperatures creep up out there the last few weeks. This week looks like mostly mid to upper 90s. Pretty boring but comfortable for those areas.

Do you and others at NWS Phoenix see signs that we may have a more active monsoon this summer? I have been reading some hints on this possibility recently, but I wanted to see what your take is on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Much cooler and breezier today, but surprisingly Laguna Beach was not that cold with clouds thin enough to allow some of the sun's warmth through. Actually more breezy inland than at the immediate coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 When are we ever going to have a very cold and wet winter followed by a warm and mostly dry spring? 6 of the last 7 years Downtown L.A. has averaged lower for the high temperature in May than April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for the next 2004-2005 winter scenario. I would give just about anything for a winter as wet as that again. I was in the 7th grade back then but I remember it very well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
