The National Weather Service says the temperature probably won't rise above 65 degrees today at Lindbergh Field in San Diego . If that turns out to be the case, it'll be the first time since record keeping began in 1875 that downtown San Diego has not risen above 65 on an August day. The existing record for the "low high" is 66, which has been recorded three times in the month of August, the last occurring in 1924. That's back when Buster Keaton was a big star.
Forecasters blame the cool weather on a low pressure system off the Pacific coast, which has been making San Diego's marine layer thicker. San Diego has been cooler, on average, than Portland, Oregon for most of the summer.
9 a.m. temperature snapshot: Lindbergh Field, 63; Sea World, 62; Point Loma, 60; Imperial Beach, 62; Red Beach, Camp Pendleton, 63; Oceanside Harbor, 63; UC San Diego, 63; Valley Center, 57; Fallbrook, 59; Escondido, 66; Ramona, 58; Santee Lakes, 62; La Mesa, 63; Mount Laguna Observatory, 71; Campo, 75; Alpine, 59, Poway, 61.
"A trough of low pressure will bring 500 MB heights 2 to 3 standard deviations below seasonal averages this weekend," the weather service says in an advisory. "High temperatures for the coast and valleys will be 10-15 degrees below seasonal averages, with temperatures for mountains and deserts a few degrees below average.
"This trough of low pressure will bring a deeper marine layer with coastal stratus extending inland into portions of the inland valleys each night and morning, then clearing back to near the coast each afternoon. Clouds may linger near some beaches each afternoon and there may be some patchy late night and morning drizzle from the deeper marine layer."
Inland San Diego County continues to be unseasonably cool. It was 86 Wednesday in Ramona (5 degrees below normal) and 89 in Campo (5 degrees below normal.)
Let me be the first to say: Bush’s fault
The high temperatures in the rest of the country are Bush’s fault too.
65* - that’s nice - I’ll take it
It’s got to be pretty disappointing for the hordes who come here for vacations only to find the beaches covered with cold and fog.
All I know is that it is 100 degrees in the shade on my front porch at 5pm here in central GA today. As hot or hotter as its ever been by my unscientific standards. I know of five deaths here recently directly related to the heat and we rarely have those. Some reports say its hotter than ever, others say its not. I am HOT and Im gonna have a COLD one.
They were saying on the news that the water temp in SF Bay Area was hotter than the air temp, something like the water temp being 60-65 and the air temp being 55.
Actually, the global warming alarmists have resorted to using the term, “Climate change” and these low temps can easily fall into that catagory.
Sorry to hear that, especially about the deaths. I grew up in the 60s at the Florida/Georgia border where high temps and humidity were the norm. The mild weather is part of the reason why I chose San Diego as my home.
With high temperature records falling all over, there’s sure as hell something causing the warmup.
"The Diamondbacks will face the Padres on the lukewarm tundra of Lindbergh Field."
It’s going to be a really, really cold winter. I hope you are all ready for it!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
For the month of July in Huntsville Alabama, the average high for the day was 94.5.
We only had 3 days under 90 the entire month.
I am looking forward to opening the windows tonight. It will be a great sleep in morning tomorrow.
Conclusive evidence of global warming, if you ask me.

Here in the high desert of North Eastern Calif., we have hardly had a day or two under 100 in the last month.
Your just getting older that's all.
