WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Angel Oracle]

Less humidity in the O.C. today, than yesterday

[Homebrewer]

This is getting REALLY old. Been a few straight days with no end in sight.

Mariposa Weather for Wednesday, July 27, 2016
Widespread haze over the area this afternoon/evening. Sunny and hot today as the high temps top out around 99 degrees for the day while the low temp for tonight comes in at 69 degrees. The Sierra crest may have isolated showers and T-storms today. Yesterday the high temp topped out at 100.2 degrees (1.5 degrees warmer than Monday) while the low came in at 70.1 degrees. Thursday's high temps come in around 99 degrees with sunny skies. Future high temps: Fri.: 98 degrees, Sat.: 96 degrees.

We're having an unusually mild July here in Bixby Knolls. After a balmy 98 last Friday, temps are back down to the mid-to-high 80's.

Downright chilly. 

September/October should be a killer, though.

Back to low/mid 70s by the end of the week for us, I can't wait.  Average temps starting now are upper 70s.

I don't know man. I was at the new library site over on Atlantic a couple hours ago and it felt pretty damn hot. 

[Angel Oracle]

And LaNina waiting in the distance some 4 months down the road

121 here today with humidity. Brutal

Yeah, it hit 95 today. Unexpected.

Temperature forecasts are basically guesses.

Just another 100 degree day here...tomorrow's the same..and the next day, and the day after that. Noaa discussion indicates that the high might not be pushed out until mid August.

The majority of
the models, however, keep the upper level ridge anchored over central
California through next Thursday. If so, there will be little if any
airmass change over the CWA for the next 7 days. If you can picture
this high pressure ridge as a tall mountain of very warm air, you get
the idea of how difficult it is to move it out of the way. In truth,
it would take a fairly strong upper level eastern Pacific trough to
kick this ridge out of the Great Basin. The ensembles suggest this
will not happen until maybe the 10th of August.
 

ouch..

to top that off:

In addition to the heat, the airmass residing over central California
has become stagnant. Smoke aloft from the Soberanes wildfire in
Monterey County has become trapped underneath the upper level ridge
where it will likely remain for many more days. Several pilot reports
indicate that this layer of smoke is between 5500 feet and 7500 feet.
This is certainly a health concern for residents

The last day we got any rain in SoCal was in April.  That's almost five months ago, and still no rain in sight.  I can't recall a stretch like this, although I'm sure there have been some.

[Glen]

We usually get at least a few days. I remember last summer we had a freak storm in June or July.

But yeah, my inner AO. Just stop it, Mother Nature!

[Tank]

Been very thankful for the mild temps the last few weeks. It always tough to start a school year with temps in the high 90s or low 100s.

[Don]

We're just entering our "nice" time of year here. Mid-September through early November is beautiful; then late November through March is an ice, snow, and wind-fueled shit show; April is usually awesome; and May-August is like having a demon sit on your face.

[Tank]

LOL, Don.

[nate]

We get one good day on Wednesday but otherwise it is still above average temps.  So fucking annoying.

[OCAngelsNotLAA]

Don't worry guys, I got my car washed yesterday so the rain should be arriving any second now...

[Amazing Larry]

Temps have definitely cooled down some. It was a little chilly going out to my car this morning.

The only other time since the 1870s, that there was this kind of drought in SoCal was a 6 year stretch from 1957-1963.  And even then, one of the years in between produced almost 20 inches of rain.

Never, eeeever has there previously been 5 straight years of single digits precipitation.         Until now, and with a LaNina lurking, just marvelous (in best Dirty Harry).

Look on the bright side AO.  I think Texas was in a massive drought.  To the point that they were feeding their cows candy.  Now they are underwater.  Advantage, Florida.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's happened before, just not since we've been keeping records of that stuff.

I want milk from those cows.

Anyone else enjoying the shit out of the current weather? Feels like fall...which is perfect

Good demon, like Sofia Vergara, or bad demon, like Kim Kardashian?

The worst drought in the history of Southern California was in 1306. I remember everyone's front lawn looking like shit.

Everyone gave my great grandfather shit, because his wagon was always clean. 

But he used deionized water
