yes indeed W, the weather is changing in California. … In the SF bay area, fog patterns are still constant, but in San Jose, the heat waves seems longer and mush more more frequent.
What IS troubling is Rogan’s comments…..other than the gender reveal fiasco in Fresno county that started that fire, all other freaking fires this summer in No. Cal were called the “Lighting Fires”.
There is an entire wiki page on this…..
-12K lightning strikes in the SF bay are in a 72 hour period.
-200 lightening strikes in San Jose in a 30 min period….
– 650 + different fires that torched over 2M acres.
I don’t think people realize the magnitude of these fires this season….
I have lived in the Santa Clara valley my entire life, I don’t ever recall seeing all of the Santa Clara valley surrounding hills on fire at the same time… The Hamilton mountain range to the east, Santa Cruz Mountains to the South West, and Fremont hills to the north were all burning at the same time. Even the daily gusts from the SF Bay couldn’t blow out the smoke.. and that just in the San Jose area…..
this shit doesn’t happen here…. maybe we get 2 mild lighting storms per year… once in the spring and another in fall …. The lightening storms that we got this year is similar to upstate New York shit… fucking terrifying because of all of the dry timber in the forests here in the surrounding hills….. i imagine So Cal is worse, with the Santa Ana winds and dry hills. My middle kid goes to Chapman U in O.C., it’s a dry wood pile down there with high winds this time of year….
It’s crazy.
BTW the weather service is predicting La Nina this year, thus cooler ocean surface waters, resulting in a WET Northwest, and a DRY Southwest…. the SF Bay Area is in between these regions, thus we might get drenched or drought depending of the severity of the southwest drought pattern.
