Christmas Decorations at Mission Beach, San Diego, CA.

It was 65f here on Christmas. 70f on the 29th. The whole month was sunny but for the 6th and 7th. The bay area was very dry.

And those are hayx readings..inland in town, add a few more degree's. Felt great though!

Yes, the whole state of California was experiencing very dry and warm conditions during most of winter. It was actually around 85 -88ºF where I live on Christmas Day. It didn't feel much like Christmas.

I painted my front stairs on Christmas..and with the sun beating down me,I was sweating. My first Christmas with that kind of warmth. Probably was a record for Hayward.

Yes, it's been a very hot year. Here in the San Diego area it's been one of the hottest winter on record and spring and most of summer has been pretty hot and muggy.
