Snakes come out from under their winter rocks, "May Gray" is right around the corner
Local citrus trees begin their bloom
A gopher snake grabs the last bit of heat from the asphalt roadway on the way to Joshua Tree National Park.
Snakes, encouraged by recent warm temperatures, have already emerged from burrows and rock crevices to hunt for prey throughout the county’s lower-elevation hillsides and canyons. Gopher snakes, garter snakes, king snakes, rosy boas (all harmless), and three varieties of rattlesnakes — red diamond, speckled, and Southern Pacific rattlesnakes (all venomous) — are typically sighted this time of year. Close encounters with rattlesnakes are not uncommon wherever residential properties abut undeveloped land — a common situation in much of San Diego County.
This time of year, coastal communities might not see the sun all day, while only blocks away, sunny skies shine blue.
Less rain, warmer temperatures, and hazier skies all coincide with the subtle onset of San Diego’s spring season. By April’s end, the brief periods of rainfall and crystal-clear skies we’ve been having will likely be distant memories. The nocturnal, low overcast starting to hug the coast right about now will gradually build into “May Gray” and “June Gloom”— days-long episodes of perpetual overcast that can dog us through the late spring. Coastal communities may even experience "Gray-Sky July" and "Fogust" as they have in years past.
A Valencia Orange tree blossoming in a Point Loma backyard.
The sticky-sweet odor of citrus blossoms is wafting on the spring breezes this year, as it has in every year since the 1870s, when the county’s first commercially planted orange and lemon groves began to produce fruit. From early plantings in areas like National City and Lemon Grove, citrus groves spread east and north as urbanization encroached. Today, a car or bicycle trip through Rancho Santa Fe, Pauma Valley, and the outskirts of Escondido, Vista, and Fallbrook induces a pleasant reminiscence of San Diego County’s agricultural past.
