Las Vegas has not yet reached 100 F this year.

Even the Imperial Valley is consistently only reaching the low to mid 90s. Pretty crazy. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Very strong onshore flow today, but at least we got some sun. Even then, it felt more like April than June.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's Juneteenth and we are still being enslaved by troughs.

[Thunder98]

The sun is already coming out!

[Thunder98]

So far this month, we only at -0.5 degrees below average. The highs are -4 degrees below average, but the lows are +3.1 degrees above due to the gloom and above avg ssts along the central coast.

The marine layer is almost wiped out here now! Wow, was not expecting this!

Still alive here thanks to the stupid eddy.

[Thunder98]

This is the clearest the satellite has looked in a long time! Winds are picking up and it feels more like April than June.

 

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Little frontal system may disrupt the inversion.

73 F today for Downtown LA, which gets their average high for the month so far to 71.11 F. That's 0.01 F above the coldest June on record, but there's still 11 days remaining.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Thick high clouds pushing through. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nice to see something other than stratus clouds. 

[Thunder98]

No clouds this morning and only 48F right now. Its been a long time since I had clear mornings!

[Anti Marine Layer]

Early morning sunshine is a rare commodity here.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Strange cloud pattern.

[Thunder98]

No clouds this morning! Finally! 

 

 

[Reg]

Colorful sunset yesterday, didn’t get any pictures though.

[Thunder98]

What a beautiful sight! No marine layer! 
 

 

[Thunder98]

Low this morning was 47F with clear skies, very different from the past month with the constant clouds keep it warmer than avg at night. 

[Thunder98]

Super windy again today!

[Anti Marine Layer]

Expected to get crappy again by Thursday. Meanwhile Downtown LA is now averaging at 71.35 F for the high in June with 10 days to go. Las Vegas continues to remain below 100 F as well at least through next Tuesday, which should break the all-time below 100 streak.

[Thunder98]

High was 71F today.

I did.

If Las Vegas does not reach 100 F by next Sunday, it will tie the 290-day record of consecutive days below 100 F. If it fails to reach 100 F by Monday, the record will be broken. The latest day to reach 100 F is June 30 in 1965. That's the same year Downtown LA had its coldest average June high on record of 71.10 F. For Las Vegas, we could easily break the 290-day record and the latest day to reach 100 F this year.

For Downtown LA, the 1965 record is looking fairly safe as the high would need to average below 70.60 F for the last 10 days of June, but I'm not counting it out yet.

1982 was another developing El Nino that had a very cool June. I was living in New York at that time. We moved to California in early 1983.

Very little gunk out there so far.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lows in the 50s again this morning. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Astronomical summer begins at 7:57 am today, even with one of the coldest Junes in history. Winter looks to return tomorrow. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

[Anti Marine Layer]

78 F so far for Downtown LA.

Same here, 52F this morning which is amazingly cool for the first day of summer.

[Thunder98]

Low this morning was 44F! Quite cold for the 1st day of astro summer!

[Minny_Weather]

Looks like things get more seasonable next week. 

This time last year, I remember thinking an 85*F day was nice and cool.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Even though this has probably been the worst year for May Gray and June Gloom in my lifetime, June 2003 had more sub-70 days in Fullerton. 

[Thunder98]

Happy first of astro summer!

 

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Missed the highest sun angle of the year, but this is the highest sun angle that the sun is due West.

[Minny_Weather]

Looked back in the recordbooks a bit to see if we'd come close to any records... We won't (turns out that this sort of coolness was actually pretty commonplace in the early 20th century), but I noticed that on 6/22/1919, the maximum temp in Riverside that day was 102*F (2nd highest on record) and the minimum temp was 46*F (T-2nd lowest on record). Guess marine layer wasn't a thing that year.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Days start getting shorter now

 

[Thunder98]

The marine layer is back!
