The next 2 weeks looks quite warm outside the next 2 days. I'm think Spring is going to be warmer than years past.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Meteorological spring is here

[Thunder98]

So much colder today. Only at 63F right now

[Thunder98]

Suddenly warmed up to 72F. Warmer than the forecast high of 69F.

[Anti Marine Layer]

One week until Daylight Saving Time 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Water was quite warm at Laguna Beach. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still very warm. 

[Thunder98]

High was only 66F and lots of wind. Back home, at Universal Studios today it was in the low 70s for the high, but felt chilly in the shade though.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Cooldown has begun

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still too dark at 6:30 PM, but that will change next week. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Gunk is staying over the ocean for now

The worst time of the year! I hope it's like May 2020 where the marine layer was rather minimal 

[Anti Marine Layer]

We will be losing an hour this weekend 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Very windy again this morning
