[Thunder98]

Santa Maria's max temp this month was only 70F! Which is the lowest max temp during the month of may since records began since 1906! Though some years were missing. The avg high for May is around 69! Just a cool, miserable gloomy month. Though the rain at the beginning of the month was awesome!

 

 

[Thunder98]

Oh no!

 

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

For the first time since May 22, the sun came out for more than 5 minutes.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Moon is out

[Anti Marine Layer]

Gunk came in late this morning.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sunny early, then cloudy, then partly cloudy, then cloudy and now it might clear up.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Saddleback Mountain still exists. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

San Diego. 70 or not?

[Thunder98]

Things look very interesting tomorrow and Tuesday! Thunderstorm chances are now up to 40%! So excited!

[Anti Marine Layer]

Strong sea breeze,  but at least the sun is out for now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

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

[Anti Marine Layer]

Already misting 

[Anti Marine Layer]

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

[Anti Marine Layer]

Raining again.

[Anti Marine Layer]

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

[Thunder98]

[Thunder98]

Storm chances got higher

 

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Only 62 F for Woodland Hills today. Pathetic does not even begin to describe it.

[Thunder98]

Seeing lighting and hearing faint thunder, while the marine layer clouds are below the t'storms

 

 

[Thunder98]

Seeing lots of distant lightning brightening the whole sky! Santa Maria is likely to get hit hard.

WU now has me getting 0.40" of rain tonight! Wild!

We got 0.12" from the drizzle this morning. Once again some areas near the beaches were warmer than inland areas due to some reverse clearing. For example, Woodland Hills was only 62 F while Downtown LA topped out at 68 F.

 

[Thunder98]

Thunder getting real loud now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Julian is fogged in yet again.

[Thunder98]

So much thunder and lightning! Epic light show tonight!

[Thunder98]

Raining hard now!

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's 6/6 and the high may be 66.

[Anti Marine Layer]

The weather has been qu€€r this year. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Disrupted marine layer this morning. 

[Thunder98]

Got 0.29" from this low. 0.04" was from the marine layer drizzle/light rain from earlier in the day yesterday and the rest was from convective t'storms and showers last night. The avg for the month of June here is only 0.04". So now at 725% of avg for the month!

[Anti Marine Layer]

The gunk filled back in, of course

Ugliest car ever manufactured against an ugly gray sky.

Sprinkling now

[Thunder98]

Steady rain in the Santa Maria Valley! Keeps on coming!

[Thunder98]

Rain totals is now up to 0.38" since yesterday! Have gotten more steady rain in the last few hours, which was really unexpected!

[Thunder98]

More rain keeps coming back to the Santa Maria Valley. Seems like my area has been a magnet for rain from this low.

Is it a ma-"rain" layer?

[Anti Marine Layer]

Way too much waiting time to see if the weather decides to warm up by late June/early July through at least the middle of September this year. Don't feel like waiting until 2024 for summer.

We have had winters nicer than the past 4 weeks here.

[Thunder98]

Final rain totals for Orcutt from this low was 0.4”. Absolutely incredible for June! June is now 1,000% of average based on rainfall!
