100 degrees and humid in La. Santat Monica up in the mid 80s.

Yes Steve, there is weather in Santa Monica.

A balmy 80f on the West Side today. I do enjoy driving to work with the top down.

Perhaps you should keep your shirt on when driving.
Do not the scare the kiddies and appal the ladies.

Can I offer you a nice ocean front view? Dumb asses.
As the man once said "stupid is as stupid does".
 
Even without sea level rise, that's a dumb place to build anything; The Pacific Plate has a nasty tendency to undergo megathrust slips under the North American plate, so tsunamis are a real threat.

That there hasn't been one for quite a while is the opposite of reassuring to those who understand plate tectonics.

Oh you crazy woke leftists and your long term thinking.
 
Warmest summer in the US on record.

The contiguous United States just experienced its warmest summer on record, according to data released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with sweltering conditions driven by nights — particularly in the West — that would not cool.

The average temperature from June through August was 74.4 degrees Fahrenheit across the Lower 48 and the District of Columbia, surpassing by 0.4 degrees the previous record set during a notoriously sweltering Dust Bowl summer of 1936. The records date to 1895.

Nice graph showing average temps and the "trend" indicating things are generally moving up over the last 34 years. Of interest, prior to the 1980s, the second warmest summer flanked the 1936 summer in 1934, at about 73.5 degrees. It wouldn't be until the mid 80s, that temperature would be approached within half a degree. In the last 20 years, near half of the summers have reached or exceeded that #2 summer. The low temp spikes have also been less than creep and more shooting up, from under 70 degrees in '92 to having the coolest summer in 12 years being more than two degrees warmer than that.
 
My thinking on these ocean front properties are they are not insurable for damage done by erosion and hence cannot be financed. From this I would venture to guess there are many cash purchases of these homes by people with the means to simply move on.
 
Median low June through September here was 73 in the 20th century. Now it is 77. 73 is the lower quartile of daily low temps in the mossy recent two decades. Dewpoint has also risen. The air is holding more vapor. 77 and saturated is far hotter than 73 and saturated. We have set numerous record warm minimums lately which is the case most summer lately. 82 with near saturated airmass at 5 AM makes outdoor work and athletic training miserable and potentially dangerous. At best you have significant performance declines because the body cannot cool itself if sweat doesn’t evaporate and the delta T between skin and air is too small for effective conductive cooling.

Climate is the average of weather. Our average weather has changed.
