We've had a fairly mild dose of June gloom so far, but the marine layer looks like it will reassert itself for the next few days. Low clouds are expected to extend farther inland and hang around longer, knocking temps below normal in the valleys until the middle of next week. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Tonight’s sunset from inland North County. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

I’ve spoken with dozens of meteorologists and climatologists over the last 26 years. The depth of Swain’s knowledge and his ability to explain complex concepts in easily understood terms is unsurpassed.

June not too gloomy: We’ve had some of the usual late night & early morning low clouds, but not a heavy dose. This morning’s gray should go away fairly quickly inland, leading to slightly above-normal highs. Minor variations on the theme this week, growing gradually cooler. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

It was a little cooler today in the San Diego County inland valleys, but it was still hot. Some highs: Valley Center, 93; Escondido and Ramona, 91; San Pasqual Valley and Alpine, 90. San Diego cooled down 5° from Friday & had a high of 74. Borrego Springs was 1° cooler at 109. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Yeah, I think we had one of those mini monsoon waves this morning that cranked up the heat and blew a temporary hole in the marine layer.

Well, it's SUPPOSED to be cooler tomorrow. Today was much hotter than expected. Highs today: Valley Center, 98; San Pasqual Valley, 97; Escondido, Ramona, Alpine, 96; Santee, 95; El Cajon, 94; Poway, 93. San Diego hit 79, the high for June so far. Borrego Springs reached 110. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

June so far in San Diego hasn't been hot, but it has been warmer than normal. If it continues, each of the first 6 months of 2026 will have been warmer than normal. That's fairly rare in city history but not unprecedented. But it's happened 3 times since 2014, last in 2020. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Not tremendous color at sunset tonight in inland North County, but the sky was still dazzling. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Rob, you have expressed these probabilities perfectly and accurately.

The Climate Prediction Center said this morning El Niño has officially arrived. It's reached the 0.5°C above-normal threshold in the equatorial Pacific. The question now is, how strong will it get? The CPC says there's is a 63% chance of a "very strong" El Niño during November-January.

Lots of fun atmospherics with multiple stratified layers to refract tonight's setting sun in some unique ways. 6/10/2026

Wednesday morning we were devoid of low clouds at sunrise. This morning we’re sorta socked in. The more-assertive marine layer should keep the valleys a touch cooler today. Valley Center hit 91 Wednesday, Escondido and Ramona reached 89, Alpine 88, San Diego73. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

A prominent rainbow at 5:30 am looking due south. Both conditions are unique to high latitudes. 🌈

Rub it in, it is 110 in Phx, driving out in several weeks to see Mexican soccer clubs play in Chula Vista, it will still be 110 in Phx.

It’s a beautiful afternoon for baseball at Petco as the Pads face the Reds in the rubber game of the series. Just a few faint low clouds and temps in the mid 70s. Pads lead 1-0 heading into the bottom of the second. #sandiegoweather #Padres #CAwx

Coastal low clouds did not reach as far inland last night as they had in recent days, and they are retreating earlier. That should add a couple of degrees to the highs today, but they should still be around seasonal norms. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

It was a perfectly peaceful morning at Mallard Pond in Escondido’s Daley Ranch this morning. Sunny but not too warm. Temperatures inland today should be below normal, but a warmup is expected starting midweek. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

The sun sank into a fog bank tonight, at least from our vantage point in inland North County. Temperatures should be slightly below normal in most of San Diego County on Monday, but a warm up starts Tuesday. Highs should peak Saturday in the mid 80s inland, upper 70s at coast. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

High clouds and low clouds created contrast for tonight’s sunset in inland North County. The weather service expects a few degrees of cooling on Sunday and Monday thanks to a low pressure system moving into the Pacific Northwest. Warmer Wednesday through the end of next week. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Absolutely. It's actually quite common in May and June for beach and desert temps to vary by 40 degrees. San Diego county is favorably situated to brag about this all contained in the county borders.

It’s a cool and cloudy night for baseball at Petco as the Pads take on the Mets in game 1 of the weekend series. 65 degrees. Scoreless after 1. #Padres #CAwx #sandiegoweather

This is the time of year when the temperature difference between coast & desert is huge. Palm Springs is expected to hit 107° today, while San Diego will be lucky to hit 73. Little change expected the next week as the marine layer does its June thing & keeps the coast cool. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

A mass of gray to start the day here in inland North County. But the weather service expects it to clear out and warm up today. The valleys should be 5 to 10 degrees warmer than normal, with highs in the low to mid 80s. Cooler over weekend. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

#Jangmi is now slamming Tokyo with heavy rain. Its remnant energy and moisture is expected to perturb the jet stream over the northern Pacific in the coming week. That could mean some unusually wet (for June standards) weather in California. Followed shortly by some heat. Stay tuned...

I've developed a new vehicle heating infographic. Please share and maybe save a life!. More at www.noheatstroke.org

June gloom in minor bloom: The weather service says the coast and valleys should cool slightly today. Then high pressure should shrink the marine layer a bit and bring a few degrees of warming on Wednesday. No big temperature swings on the horizon. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Most of northern and central California remain within about 10% of normal, while much of the south state is well above normal, mostly on the basis of heavy rains in Nov and Dec.

In terms of temperature, May in San Diego was the closest to normal of all the months so far in 2026. The average temperature was 65.2°, or 0.4° above normal. Every other month was at least 1.1° above normal. The rainfall total for May was 0.24 of an inch; normal is 0.28. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Spring 2026 was the 2nd warmest on record for the Contiguous U.S. (2012). A majority of locations had a top 5 warmest spring compared to all springs since 1895 and many places had their warmest. Only a small area of the northern Plains had a cool spring compared to the full period-of-record. 🔥

My son sends this video of marble-sized hail falling in Denver this afternoon.

Ready for a week of wild weather swings in San Diego? The highs aren't expected to vary more than 2° into Saturday. We're in the heart of late-night & early-morning low clouds season. May gray is handing off to June gloom. Much better than roasting with record highs, though. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

The fog moves in on the moor: A low-lying May gray crept in around sunrise this morning in inland North County. The weather service expects minor warming today. The valleys should hit the low 80s. Monday should be similar, then calm, slightly cooler weather all week. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

I wouldn’t call it a deluge, but by May standards, or even winter standards, we’re getting a decent shower this morning in inland North County. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

More measurable May rain! San Diego has recorded 0.24 of an inch this month. As meager as that sounds, it's more than the May total in 120 of the years since 1850. The city recorded 0.01 or less in May in 43 of those years. Getting more rain now in inland North County. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Thursday's 0.6 inches of rain was a same-day record in San Francisco and was the city’s wettest day this late into the rainy season since June 2011, when 0.81 inches fell. It also pushed May precipitation totals above the long-term average, marking SF's second consecutive wetter-than-normal month.

Reflective moment: Sean Peer was up early for this shot at Escondido’s Dixon Lake this morning. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

It's a chilly late-May morning. Down to 50° here in inland North County. Ramona got down to at least 47. The Mount Laguna Lodge reports a low of 34! San Diego got down to 58; normal low is 61. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

May madness: We’re catching another shower at 9:50 p.m. here in inland North County. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Your results may vary: Showers have been scattered since last night. Pine Hills got a decent 0.13 of an inch, while San Diego's official station at the airport got just a trace. The marine should stay about 5K feet deep, so more drizzle/light rain is possible into Thurs. a.m. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

May on steroids!

I guess it’s a counterpoint to the summer we had in March!

Late May with a February feel: Cool, cloudy and drizzly on a hike at Escondido’s Daley Ranch this morning. Temps were in the mid 60s. We’ve got a couple more unseasonably cool days in store before it warms over the weekend. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

It's not unheard of, but it's not too often that the San Diego county inland valleys don't make it to 70° in late May. Wednesday should be even cooler. The marine layer is working its magic. Drizzle or light rain possible tonight through early Thursday. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

I'll take it!

Memorial Day starts with a full dose of May gray. Expect minimal clearing & below-normal temps. The marine layer only gets thicker from here. It beefs up to 5,000 feet Tuesday & Wednesday. Drizzle is possible nights & mornings from the coast to the mountains starting tonight. #sandiegoweather #CAwx
