The odd surge of wind comes as Cal-ISO asks consumers to reduce electricity consumption for sixth straight day
San Diego County’s coastal cities experienced extraordinarily high early morning temperatures Sunday when onshore winds unexpectedly and oddly prevented heat from inland areas from flowing out to sea.
Santa Ana winds can produce really warm mornings. But they arrive from the Great Basin. Sunday’s winds blew in from the ocean.— a column of air that rotates in a counter-clockwise direction — steered the blocking winds ashore. It’s also possible that the change involved Javier, a tropical storm off Baja California that brought clouds and heavy surf to San Diego County on Sunday.
Much of the state is experiencing hot weather, which led the California Independent System Operator on Sunday to ask consumers to reduce electricity consumption on Monday. The hot, dry weather made firefighters jump quickly — and with force — when brush fires popped up Sunday from Santee to Fallbrook.
Officials sent two helicopters, four engines, two brush rigs and some support units to the blaze initially. A couple of additional brush rigs were requested to assist in the mop up, Nilsen said. “It was kind of wet out there. That has helped a lot with the fuels,” Nilsen said. “It dampened down what was supposed to be extreme conditions today.”
