Our late spring and early summer has been pretty mild for the most part. We've had some pretty warm days but not too many until lately. Of course, when it's warm here in Antioch it's often quite cool closer to the ocean and its sea breeze... often called nature's air conditioning by the weather folks. This sea breeze and all the hills and valleys make for what they call micro-climates. Well, yesterday was a great example. Inland it was hot and at the coast it was cool thanks to a small low pressure system stirring up the sea breeze. Check out the map below. The high in Antioch yesterday was 105. The high in Pacifica was 61.
The sea breeze picked up quite a bit today so even here it was only in the low 90s today... and that pattern is supposed to continue for at least a week. It'll be warm here and probably only in the upper 50s in some coastal areas. Probably just the sort of pattern that once caused Mark Twain to write,
The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

Which is why San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world!
