Lots of S-SW flow for the south coast this month. Normally we get some fronts and NW flow in the region in July, but that has been tough to come by. Those days tend to favor higher positive anomalies for the coast vs the interior.
It’s like a month with a lot of rad cooling. The valleys and pits end up with the more anomalous cold mins than the urban centers or elevations. Most months have a vibe and whatever that is tends to influence the anomalies.
I guess, but I think I’d rather get it during warm season than the heart of winter. At least you can open windows and get in the sun and warmth. I had omicron in Jan of 22 and it was just awful with the cold, dry air.
We’ve been following the temps at these sites for decades. It’s pretty easy to pick one out when they fall out of line with their normal tendencies. DAW was rarely a daily hot spot in the region going back to when the ASOS was commissioned. Now they’re doing it almost day.
I still feel like it’s usually siting changes and not sensor error that most of these sites are experiencing.
