Today was a beautiful 75F with no marine layer once again. 

Looks like the clouds are making headway

I will scare them away!

Cool evening in the desert. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like the offshore flow is no more for Santa Maria. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Downtown LA has not cracked the 72 degree mark since May 15.

Lake Forest hit the jackpot yesterday for coldest spot west of the mountains with a bone-chilling teeth-grinding high of 60. Good day to be in Palm Springs. 

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Now that is some insane reverse clearing if our high was 67 and a well inland location barely got to 60.

The eddy has faded and we’re back to that blasted northwesterly flow down the entire coast. May not be much relief in sight.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

While climate change has brought record heat this spring to much of the northern hemisphere, unseasonable and even record cool has prevailed here. What’s up with that, huh?

Though in times of record smashing warmth, cold anomalies usually occur adjacent to them.

More wavy jet stream means more dynamic weather.

63 here. It has an uncanny tendency to hover at that exact value during times like this when the inversion is strong and onshore flow is robust.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Back to the cold climate 

[Anti Marine Layer]

It appears as if most of the marine layer clouds are gone from satellite images but with icy ocean water, even strong May sunshine does not guarantee warmth.

Traffic jam in San Gorgonio Pass.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Passing Casino Morongo now, already in marine layer territory. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Inversion must be regrouping. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Massive traffic jam continues but it's better than a massive low cloud jam.

If you go to Palm Springs to flee the May Gray, remember from the Travelodge to stay away.

It is a dump!

[Anti Marine Layer]

It returned with a vengeance in San Diego. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Awfully asleep here today. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Hmm?

[Anti Marine Layer]

Beaches to stay BKN. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Looks like the eddy is back. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Question: Does the melting of polar ice caps due to climate change make the ocean colder?

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Looking near normal in the Bight Zone, but farther north it remains frigid even by their standards.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Another day of slow burn off.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Disgusting

[Anti Marine Layer]

Warmup cancelled 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Keep on dreaming. For once I disagree with the NWS forecast.

[Anti Marine Layer]

5 straight days of Downtown LA failing to reach 70 F.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Thunder98 is on a downvote streak today. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lima, Peru. Not San Diego, CA.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Intensifying inversion in the making

[Anti Marine Layer]

Finally the marine layer is not as deep.

[Thunder98]

Sunny this morning 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Here comes the southerly surge

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Lima is what you get when you combine a borderline equatorial position with the strongest upwelling zone on earth. Guess who wins.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

2020’s hangover continues. The 3 year La Niña.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Watch the coming “heatwave” be a mere fogwave for the beaches.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Fly is trapped between my screen and window.
