Just got a new Davis weather station to replace the POS Lacrosse unit that never worked right. I knew it got very dry the air here but wow the Davis
just read 4% humidity!
No wonder chapstick is well used here! Anybody else ever get that low?Russ - 2-14-2011 at 05:01 PM
My Davis at 4:55pm shows 16% and that is really low for being on the water.
Since you're a much higher elevation it just might be correct.
This is the nicest day of the year. Long quad ride in shorts and a really low tide still no fish caught. Will post something with photos later.Bajahowodd - 2-14-2011 at 05:48 PM
Didn't you guys read about the product recall?
It defies all sense that in the absence of a 60 mph Santa Ana wind, there could be a humidity reading of 16% on the beach of SOC. Just seems to me
that normal evaporation would boost the moisture content to something higher than one might find in the Gobi desert in August.Riom - 2-14-2011 at 08:48 PM

16% isn't unusual at all around the San Felipe area. Both my weather station (a couple of miles inland) and Tony Colleraine's which is right on the
water just south of town have been down to 10% humidity in the past month.
I recall getting down to 2 percent humidity up on top of the San Pedro Martir---very dry air up there! I'll gladly send you some humidity from the
early summer in Fort Worth...
