Time to write the famous quote that often accidentally returned to Mark Twain: “The coldest winter I’ve ever had was the summer in San Francisco.”
Certainly that’s a cliché. But this year is true. It really was in the city, very chilly bay, and experienced the coldest summers of decades, and in the mid-60s, visibility and daytime highs were not appearing significantly.
In downtown San Francisco, the average temperature in July was 59.3 degrees, about 1 degree below normal, said Matt Meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Monterey on Saturday.
The average temperature in San Jose in July was 67.4 degrees, about two degrees lower than usual, he said.
And in Auckland, temperatures reached over 75 degrees in July, as of Saturday, compared to the three times in February.
“It’s not a record thing, but at this point we’re looking for someone who’s 20-30 years since they’ve experienced the cold this summer,” Mehle said, noting that the area last saw similar weather patterns in the late 1990s.
Mehle said seasonal high-pressure systems that normally bring warm weather have been somewhat misplaced this year and are sitting west than usual. This summer, he said low-pressure systems are parked in the Pacific Northwest and California, leading to relentless cloud cover and cooler temperatures.
He added that “mispositioning” of high-pressure systems contributes to an increase in the process by which strong winds bring deep, cold seawater closer to the surface. The temperature drops as the wind blows this cold water towards the land.
“The coastal upwelling was really notable just outside San Francisco Bay and the west of Point Reyes,” the email said.
The grey drizzle weather along the coast is not expected to change much in the coming days, Mehle said.
“We’re basically trapped,” he said of the weather conditions.
Even in San Francisco, where countless summer tourists unexpectedly paid for sweatshirts and scarves, the cold was a town story.
Nudist Pete Safra maintains a journal explaining how many times he walks around town with a buff, and this week he told Standard in San Francisco this week that he “has enjoyed a fair number of nude walks this year.” But even he didn’t go out “if it was frozen.”
Lisa Shed, 60, a resident of Walnut Creek, told Mercury News:
Carl the Fog – anthropomorphic fog in San Francisco with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media – Thursday’s predictions joked “It’s partially cloudy, winds coming in from the west, and Trump is likely on Epstein’s file.”
Further north, this summer brought oppressive inland heat and dangerous lightning storms.
In Orleans, temperatures have exceeded seven times this month in the town of large, barely content butler fire, located near the town of Humboldt County, which is located near the large, bare content butler fire in the Klamath National Forest, according to the National Weather Service.
Redding took 11 times this month with temperatures above 100 degrees, and on July 11th it reached the top with 109.
I’m also pleased with the mild summer temperatures in Los Angeles, when downtown’s highs averaged around 82 degrees in July.
This week, the popular @Americanaatbrandmemes social media account stated, “The summer in LA was pretty calm!”
The woman and two children hold knives and attack him, just inside the door, so that he can’t see him. Their names are August, September and October.
In the Bay Area, Mehle warned, “We’ve started to get cold, but that doesn’t mean that summer is over.”
He pointed out that the hottest temperature ever recorded in downtown San Francisco was 106 on September 1, 2017.
“We’re sitting here under drizzle, clouds and cold,” Mail said. “It’s the end of July. But looking at our climatology, summer isn’t over. Some people want a slightly warmer temperature, but you need to be careful about what you want.”
