Good Saturday morning, 

I hope everyone is having a great summer. The weather certainly has been fantastic in our little piece of heaven. It is incredible that august half way over and all the schools will be back in session soon, if not already.

Summer weather is not really that exciting, so weather reports have been minimal, but all is good in my world. 

As we get deeper into the summer months the ocean temps are warming up. 66.2 degrees today. That might be quite chilly to some, but for us quite warm. This time of year the warmest the ocean has been was 72 degrees in 2009 and the coldest was 60 degrees so we are right about in the middle of.

As far as tropical weather goes, there are a few systems in the west but these are just drifting over the open ocean causing no harm to anyone. 

On the east coast it’s really the same, unless you are one of the small islands in the Atlantic ocean like  Bermuda where they just got hammered by Ernesto

Regarding our local weather, just perfect is the story. Along the coast you will wake to some fog, followed by sun and a high 77 to 80 degrees. In the valleys plus 10degrees with upper 80s to 90. 

A warming trend will occur through the first half of next week with temps rising for all 5 to 8 degrees. Next Thursday we reverse to cooler temps dropping into the mid 80s in the valleys and mid 70s along the coast. 

Bottom line, we love California … no bugs, no humidity, and mild conditions day and night. Tonight you will hear a lot of laughter from the county bowl where Chelsea Handler will make everyone laugh.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, fall is right around the corner for the rest of the country, but here in Southern California summer still has more than 2 months to follow. 

Enjoy and see you are the bowl tonight, if you going to be there and have a great weekend.
