Baja weather

Made it thru the 2024 hurricane season w/o any drama
Now the Santa Anas are blowing in socal and the north winds are screaming in baja (though ending today, but returning next week, says NOAA).
Drought in socal and north baja? Haven't had a fall rain, and it is almost winter....
Global warming comes with good and bad...

In Marina del Rey for 3 days. 70's with little wind. Perfect.


Got about 60 inches of snow at our place in Colorado the last month. The dogs love it. It's beautiful after a snow with generally clear skies and bright sunshine.

Shovel and traction boards tied to a fancy rack out there for all to see. That’s so fire. What’s your wardrobe for that massive lifestyle? Is it cowboy boots and carhart? Or patagonia puffy coat?

Despite the misinformation in the OP it did in fact rain in Marina del Rey today.

Obviously lots at play here, but right now the main driver appears to be the La Nina setup in the Pacific. Its been in place for 8+ months now and the "atmospheric coupling" has had time to materialize for the winter. In fact, it was at play during the summer enough to deter any major hurricanes. Classic La Nina ocean temperature pattern. Colder than normal waters through Socal bight all the way down the peninsula... https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/ocean/cdas-sflux_ss... This year was the driest I've seen the desert in quite some time. Most the livestock I came upon were much thinner than normal. [Edited on 12-13-2024 by BooJumMan]

NOAA says we are in ENSO neutral condition right now, but they are predicting development of la nina condition over the next two months. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/e... Enjoy the noaa science while you can, DOGE buffoons are proposing to eliminate NOAA…
