Feb 2018

in this area?

In Southern CA we have had extremes in temps this year and each year it is more obvious. It will be 15 degrees above normal for two weeks followed by two weeks of 15 degrees below normal. Climate Change will be bring us extremes in weather like a year of floods from too much rained followed by years of drought. Right now we are 75% below average rainfall for this date in the season.
