Double digits at last!
How's the weather down the peninsula?
After what seems an eternity of triple digit temps here in "The Shire of the Burning Sands" as the local SCA people call it, it never got past 94
today, lower than the predicted high of "only" 99. With 5% humidity, it was "nice". Hope it lasts.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

We're south of San Felipe, just got back last night. It was a steady 90 degrees in the house day and night, with humidity early at 40 to 60 percent by
noon.
Fortunately we had a steady breeze to trick you into thinking it was a little cooler when standing in the shade.
Should be cooling off soon...
Haven't had a bad trip yet....

To me this has seemed a unusual cool summer. Here in Nopolo, a 100 yards of the beach, the temperature has seldom reached 90 and never made it to
triple digits. Mostly in the high 80's. Not much cooler at night though, but nothing like the high 80's we had most years. Humidity is high though,
but with new A/C's taking the "wet" out of the air, the place ,while still the same temp as outside,seems 10 degrees cooler all day with the air off.
Amazing.

North of San Felipe about 10 miles====79 degrees at 6:30 A.M. Presently 7:35 a.m.== 80 degrees.
We are about 2 1/2 miles from the sea so probably cooler down there.

hey, double digits in Phoenix finally too! I come back here to escape the heat in Loreto (go figure!)...most years it works but this one was
definitely unusual. Phoenix set a record for number of days above 110 and Loreto was more temperate than usual. being off the grid down in El
Juncalito, ac isn't an option and the humidity drives me out. did a Loreot/town housesit for July and August with lovely minisplits in all rooms and
outside temps were bearable. maybe next year...ALL YEAR!
reality\'s never been of much use out here...

Yep, cooling down here in Mexicali too. It's in the upper 70's now(morning)... but with a high of 97 for today. Fridays high is supposed to be 84
with possible thundershowers. I might have to dig out a sweater.

Rain predicted in SoCal by the end of the week..............and it's not monsoonal flow. Decent chance; 50-60%.
A Pacific front in September???? Now that's rare.

That indicates a change in the weather pattern and it's often a marker of humidity dropping on the Cortez side. We'll see.

The humidity dropped here in Bahia over the past couple of days. In fact, we had a little West Wind condition. Much more comfortable than the brutal
humidity and high temps we've had. Mo' Bettah.

Here is how the NWS describes the uniqueness of this approaching front......
A strong storm for September may move through Southern California
late Thursday through early Saturday. This storm has the potential
to produce weather very rarely seen in Southern California in
September. This could be the strongest mid latitude September storm
for Southern California in around 20 years. September storms with
some similarity to this storm occurred in 1986 and in 1963.
This storm is currently developing over southwestern British
Columbia and will move quickly southward along the West Coast to
near the Bay area by Wednesday evening... then will move more slowly
southward along the central California coast to near Point
Conception by early Thursday evening. Movement then will be slowly
eastward across Southern California Thursday night through early
Saturday. There are still some differences in the track forecast and
timing for Thursday through Saturday and especially for the
potential impacts to Southern California.
Strong winds will develop in advance of this storm in the mountains
and deserts for Wednesday night and Thursday. This storm should
bring much cooler temperatures for Thursday and Friday with coolest
temperatures Friday. Depending upon the eventual track and timing of
this storm... there is the potential for locally heavy precipitation
at times from late Thursday through late Friday. This storm will be
quite cold for September with the possibility of thunderstorms and
even for snowfall in the mountains above 6000 feet. There is also
the possibility of waterspouts over the coastal waters and tornadoes
over adjacent land areas.

Baja Northwest
I agree with the other poster that it seems to have been an unusually cool summer from the perspective here on the Northwest (Noroeste?, practicing my
Spanish) coast of Baja.
No rain, but no major fires in the area that I am aware of, and we haven't had the usual mosquito/flea/fly hatch plagues that are usual in the hot
months.
On another note, usually we see very large groups of migrating birds at this time of year and this year, not so much.
Almost no dolphin sightings, either, so I guess that the fish schools are elsewhere.

Oh, in addition
We saw no butterflies at all this spring during the time they usually are heading north.

I too hope it last, I will be returning to Yuma in the next few days and will perhaps work part time for the County. I also hope to do some hiking and
kayaking.
Today was nice in Ensenada (75-80).

You know, if you haven't lived in SoCal all your life (I'm a recent immigrant), it's hard to reconcile "strongest storm in 20 years" with "1/2 to 3/4
inches of rain".
