Santa Ana winds can bring warmer temperatures to the coast, Beaver moon rises on Friday
High cirrus clouds can lead to pretty sunsets
A hot morning in Imperial Beach and the Santa Ana winds are blowing offshore, producing a blast of sea spray as water and wind collide.
Santa Ana Winds in San Diego County often reach their greatest intensity during November, particularly in the mountain passes, where dry air from a high-pressure area over the interior deserts swoops coastward toward a low-pressure area offshore. The subsiding air warms rapidly as it descends, resulting in 80° to 90° temperatures close to the coast. While passing over the mountains, however, that dry air can be surprisingly cool — 60° or less in the daytime.

November’s and December’s Picturesque Sunsets and sunrises are no accident. This is the time of year when high cirrus clouds, often the precursors of storms, sweep through our area with some regularity. When cirrus or other lofty clouds are present, low-angle sunlight bathes the undersides of these clouds in crimson luminescence. This effect is most noticeable a half-hour to a few minutes before the sun rises and a few minutes to a half-hour after the sun sets.
November’s Full Beaver Moon Will Rise from the horizon at 4:34 pm Friday, November 15. November’s full Moon is called a Beaver Moon because this is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient stores of food for the long winter ahead. Other November Moon names also reference animals readying for winter: Digging (or Scratching) Moon, a Tlingit name, refers to animals foraging for fallen nuts and bears digging their winter dens. The Dakota and Lakota term, Deer Rutting Moon, refers to the time when deer seek mates, and the Algonquin Whitefish Moon describes the spawning time of the whitefish. This Beaver Moon is also the final supermoon of four consecutive supermoons of the year! Supermoons appear bigger and brighter than normal Moons.
Jupiter Rises Around 6:30pm on November 16, where it will come to rest next to the Moon for the evening. Late on November 16, you can also see Uranus come into opposition, making its closest and brightest appearance of the year — so bright that viewers in some dark, rural areas will be able see it with the naked eye. (More populated areas will need the help of binoculars.) Look for the green “star” just to the right of the Pleiades star cluster.
