Northern California Coast Getting Cooler

Strangely enough, as most of the world gets hotter, here on the Northern California Coast it is actually getting cooler especially from June through September. There is a reason for this. Mark Twain Once said of the San Francisco Bay area, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." But, this is becoming even more true year by year. As it heats up inland it draws more and more high and low fog off of the ocean as the heated air inland goes up into the air. As it gets hotter and hotter it just increases the evaporation off of the ocean during the summers here and continues to increase the amount of fog both high and low and also increases misting at nights especially from the condensing fog clouds. So, this makes the pine, oak, and redwood and fern forests happy because even during the summers they are getting moisture in the form of fog and mist all summer long. The average night temperature lows are between 52 degrees and 59 degrees and the average daytime temperatures are between 60 and 65 or 70 at most. Right now, for example, the temperature is 58 degrees Fahrenheit at around 9:30 am pacific time. However, inland in places like Morgan hill it is already 67 degrees with a high of 95 expected and with a high of 104 expected on Sunday. Further south in Paso Robles it is 73 degrees right now with a high expected today of 100 degrees. So, as long as you can handle clouds and fog all summer you can have cool temperatures during the summers. I don't like fog but it is nice to be able to think straight during the summers when it is not so hot and no one around where I live even has an air conditioner because you only might need it a day or two every summer when the temperature might hit 85 or 90 before the fog comes in one day or two at most during the summer. However, for some reason it is easier to get skin cancer if you are outside in this because I guess we tend to think that we aren't exposed to the suns rays when it is cloudy. The most damaging rays still come through the clouds whether we realize it or not when we are outside. In direct sun you are more likely to burn. But in indirect cloudy sun you are more likely to get skin cancer. Strange isn't it? So, I started going to a dermatologist to make sure I don't get any serious skin cancers starting in about 1995 when my aunt died from a melanoma. They cut something off my nose then and a few things off my back but when you go every 6 months and get checked out you usually are okay from then on. So, I try not to get sunburned in my Hot Tub. Earlier this summer I got pretty burned and so started wearing a water shirt in the tub to prevent another burn like that. Have a Nice day wherever you are on Earth!
