Pn1ct0g3n Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 That’s the thing, our winter precipitation is always a roll of the dice, and the dice are becoming loaded to have more ones on them. One wet year doesn’t change the fact that we’ll be rolling snake eyes more than ever. Remember how complacent a lot of us got after the wet winters of 2017, 2018, 2019?

Pn1ct0g3n Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 If I misremembered, forgive me—I think 2018 had a few good ones hit my area. I know 2017 and 2019 in particular gave us real soakers in January and February, then we got dry again. Might have been different for you.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Or Fogust, if you will. Interesting clearing pattern today where an unusually SEly breeze is giving traditional trouble spots like Torrance and La Jolla a break for a change. Still pretty solid offshore.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 And as the ocean warms up it also looks lighter in color. In 2015 and 2018, I remember seeing crystalline turquoise waters off my beach — a real rarity for California. Sea turtles even turned up off the LA County coast in ‘15.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Surprised it took them *that* long to encourage conservation. Sat view back up. The eddy is churning away and the marine layer is really deep, extending to the mountain slopes. It’ll be a “photographer’s day” with softer flattering light for human subjects. Despite the cloud cover, it’s still warmer than many clear sunny days have been. The power of a warmer sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get some relief if eddy winds bring air from the south to you. Look at the satellite and you can see how the coastal winds have turned back on themselves as far north as Big Sur. It’s actually warmer at the coast than the valleys today, which is crazy. 71 in Woodland Hills and 70 in Burbank; 73-76 in most coastal cities here.
