So Cal weather changing...part 2

BaileyandBella — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 15:18:07 GMT

We were talking about this a while back........the weather changing with all the humidity. Now we have had 3 hurricanes off the Pacific, they always said the Pacific didn't have hurricanes because the water was too cold.

Last night, Cabo got slammed with a Cat 3 hurricane.

CRAZY!

The heat up here in Santa Barbara is awful. No one has air conditioning as the cool coastal water and breezes usually cool us off at night. The past few weeks have been miserable. No cooling at all.

I hate it! I am very sensitive to the humidity.

Give me back my dry, windy Fall.

Oh yeah...a lot of people in coastal areas don't have a/c...miserable is right. If I don't get out and run by 11 am it won't happen....

I'm on the east coast, but you folks all have my sympathies. When I look at the weather maps and see the temperatures you're going through I really feel for all of you. And the hurricanes??!!!!! Incredible weather events going on. Stay safe everyone.

The Pacific has always had hurricanes, forming off the coasts of Mexico and Central America. They do break apart when hitting cooler waters, or move west into open waters.

I am in Southern Arizona, and of course our weather has been affected by these disturbances. We were at the tail end of our monsoon season when Norbert was headed this way. Normally dry Southern Arizona is unbearably hot and humid July through usually Labor Day. The first remnants of a hurricane, that I can recall in my own mind, October of 1983, with major flooding, homes falling off into the running rivers, etc. Of course it had happened before then, just not in my own memories.

Many times the weather forecasters will say the remnants of a hurricane or tropical storm are headed our way, but it just doesn't transpire. It sure did last week, with the remnants of Norbert hitting Tucson, and especially Phoenix quite hard.

They are forecasting the same this week with Odile. The ground is pretty well saturated around here. I guess we'll see.

Our weather has been changing here in Nebraska all of the 75+ years I have been alive. Blizzards/tornado's/floods/droughts, and I probably missed a few other things. I see nothing different about our weather nowadays compared to when I was a young child and up to and including my present age.

Nebraska weather Part 1

Got better things to deal with heat/cold/tornado's and floods than back in the day, but other than that?

Yes, I was thinking and asking the same: Hurricanes heading toward So. Cal.?? I hadn't heard of that before. Also, folks in Oregon had been mentioning unusual humidity, too. 'What's up with that'?...........

It's been very humid here in New Mexico this summer too. I've had very little rain at my house but the humidity has been brutal.

Northern California weather has changed, also.

Summer in the Bay Area usually includes A LOT of fog. Not so this year, it's been warm and muggy almost every day and I'm sick of it.

And then there's the biggie... the draught. That will affect the entire nation, since so much wine and produce comes from this area.

Yes, and when I was growing up here, there was no such thing as humidity in N. CA, just hot, dry heat, which I can take, but the humidity does me in. I also remember while growing up that we had a rainy season from at least October through April. There were definitely four seasons, but now, we get summer weather in Spring, Fall weather beginning now, and who knows if we will have a Winter. I remember one Winter it was so cold that there were huge icicles hanging from our second story deck.

I'm in the IE (close to LA) and it's been over 100 degrees for several days. Our hope is that some of the hurricane will come our way, but last time it went to Arizona. September is usually a hot month for us, but we don't want any more 100s and above.

These signs shouldn't be ignored. We really need to save our planet.

Where I live, we get the hot dry Santa Anas every Fall......we have barely had any the last 3 years, it seems so strange.

Until this heat wave, my town didn't even reach a 100 degrees this summer, which it usually always does.....BUT because of all the humidity, it felt AWFUL.
