Hawaii in California on the Coast?

This has been a very strange summer here in Northern California. A normal summer here would be high and low fog but also temperatures more in the 55 to 65 range Fahrenheit. However, this summer it feels more like Hawaii during a rain storm in that it is very very humid but also I can leave all the windows open both day and night which is extremely unusual for Northern California except for a week or two or more when daytime temperatures might reach into the 80s or 90 Fahrenheit. But, as soon as about 85 or 90 is reached Unless the wind is blowing out to sea for some reason, we get fog drawn in from the ocean the next day caused by the hot weather evaporating the ocean into clouds during the summers. In fact, we have a name for June on the coast here. We call it the "June Gloom" because often there is not a single day of sunshine here all month when the fogs (high or low or both) set in for that month.

But, like I said, this summer it has been markedly different as if I was in Hawaii in March with a whole lot of tropical humidity combined with warmer temperatures so just like Hawaii the windows are open most days 24 hours a day. But, here where I live no one has an air conditioner because 99% of the time you don't need one.

However, this might also mean we are going to have a monsoon fall and winter here on the California coast as well. So, from drought we might move towards flooding in the fall and winter the way this presently feels. We shall see.

An indication of this might be the man who died from his car being swept into a previously dry river bed by several inches of rain recently and then being pummeled by boulders through the windows of his car until he was dead from water pressure. Or the people near Big Bear who were isolated and unable to drive out because of about 6 feet tall or more mud and rocks blocking all roads. I saw this kind of rainstorm on Hawaii between Haiku and Hana, Maui once and my family almost didn't survive it either as our window van started floating on the road to Hana and we barely kept from floating off a cliff in our van into the ocean and as rocks 1 foot in size or more banged against my wheels to my van and water washed across the front floorboards to the van and the rear wheels kept leaving the ground and the rear wheels barely touching the road. I never drove that stretch of road when it was raining hard ever again because I didn't want my whole family to die.

Monsoon rain in some areas is fatal if you don't understand just how big each drop is when it comes down. It is like being under a waterfall when it comes down that hard.
