LAGUNA BEACH 70 TIED 70 IN 1944 SINCE 1928

1. Lots of heavy fog at night, as well, at least along some coastal areas . . .

2. There's been a little chill in the air here in NM

in the early morning, even though the afternoons are popping up in the 90s.

Usually we don't start feeling that chill for another month or so.

Given the number of days over 100 we've had this year, it's welcome.

4. Climate change is climate change.

I think that's the point.

PS: Although this may just be one of those anomalies of weather that happen all the time.

5. It's raining today, temp in the 60's

One of our local weather gurus says this is the first Pacific low of the fall rainy season. Natl Weather Svc says Pugetopolis will be colder and wetter than usual for the next 6 months.

6. Maybe all your heat went to Greenland

Where it melted off a gargantuan ice island from a glacier.

7. I'm really enjoying this cool SoCal Summer

And I'm sure to remember it fondly when things heat up again...as they inevitably will. Whether it's hotter or colder than usual isn't what matters. What matters is that the weather is confused.

It's not weather change, it's climate change.
