4/15/24

Tax day has arrived... 4/15/24... but so has the sunshine, which is back again. Hopefully for a long time.

The weekend rains were quite strong for this time of year. The big winner as San Marcos pass with 3.13 inches, Santa Ynez with 2.12 inches and Montecito had an easier time with 1 inch. The real difference was the heavier rains that occurred on Sunday https://www.weather.gov/lox/LAXRRMSBA

This is all in the past now and we are ready for sunshine and warmer temps for the entire week. Warming each day with 70s coastal and 80s valleys by mid-week.

Thursday cooler with some coastal fog, but no rain in site. Hopefully, this means we are done with the heavier rains. We are now in mid-April, with daylight arriving at 6am hour and sunset at 7:31 pm. This means lots of daylight and the sun angle will begin to heat up the skies.

Just look at these crazy rain totals year to date. Santa Barbara has received 188% above normal rain totals. Everywhere is 150% over normal rain totals

Enjoy the sunshine, time for spring and warmer weather... Bring on summer 😊
