Global Warming is drastically changing the weather where I live

But, it's in a very strange way. Because I live on the northern Coast of California near San Francisco where we have always had what is called "The June Glooms" or as Mark Twain once said, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco".

But, now often the June Glooms begin in April or May and last until August or even September.

But, what is also strange is that not only is it gloomy and cold (for summer) it is wet outside every morning when I wake up and your muscles and bones hurt if you are over 40 or 50 years old too. It's noon right now and I noticed it felt cold in the house and for the first time with the window open just this morning the temperature on the thermostat had dropped all the way to 65 which usually would Never happen in the Summer in July or August ever. So, this is something new. Normally, (even last year) it wouldn't be wet every morning from the fog with 1/2 inch of water on my deck outside. And it wouldn't Ever drop to 65 in the house with just one window open so the housekeeper can work more easily.

The Temperature outside at Noon on July 31st is 61 degrees which is also pretty strange for July 31st on any year. But, with global warming happening inland where it's 111 degrees in Death Valley, 105 in Phoenix, Las Vegas right now 99, Palm Springs right now 106. 93 in Paso Robles. 83 in Morgan Hill.

But, we are also having a little cooling off period here in California at least as well. But, it's very cold for July 31st where I live on the coast of Northern California. If I want to see the sun now I would have to drive 10 to 20 miles inland because the heat is bringing fog and moisture off the ocean now in such abundance from Global warming.

But, also this is why so many people now want to live on the Northern coast of California too where they don't have to cook in summers and never need air conditioners and the air is clear from 5000 or 6000 miles of open sea from Asia to clean the air. So, the Pacific Coast of California is one of the clearest air spots now on earth. The further inland you go the more smoke and fog you will find. But, here on the northern Coast of California on up into Canada the air is mostly clear coming off the ocean.
