Earliest to bloom trees in San Diego, latest sunrise of the year, moon and mars occult
Extremely high and low tides this weekend
Bradford Pear blossoms have an odor often compared to rotting fish; the smell attracts flies as the primary pollinators rather than bees.
Ornamental Pear Trees, one of the earliest-to-bloom trees in San Diego, are just beginning to bear their white flowers. The thousands of blossoms appear in sheets and clusters, looking rather like snow when viewed from a distance. Also known as the Callery pear or Bradford pear, nice specimens can be seen along Lake Murray Boulevard, along Clairemont Mesa Boulevard between Highway 163 and Interstate 15, and in parts of downtown San Diego.
Sunrise from Mt. Helix
The Latest Sunrise of the Year (on standard, not daylight time) occurs January 10, near 6:52 am for most of metropolitan San Diego. Slowly at first, then more rapidly in the weeks to come, sunrise will arrive earlier with each passing day. By March 20, the sun will be rising a full hour earlier than it does now. The earlier sunrises are mostly a consequence of the sun’s apparent movement from the southern sky toward the northern sky from December to June. You can keep track of that movement by noting where the sun rises (or sets) over a period of many weeks from a fixed vantage point, such as your home.
Sometimes called the "Wolf Moon" because the howling of wolves was often heard at this time of year.
The Full Wolf Moon Rises Majestically from the dusky northeast horizon on Friday afternoon, January 13 — just before sunset. Watch as its pale, fully illuminated disk materializes near the horizon at 4:56 pm. Just about an hour after rising, a rare event will occur: an occultation between Mars and the full moon. At 5:48 pm a very bright Mars, at its brightest until 2031, will disappear behind the moon for nearly an hour before reappearing in the night sky.
A surfer waits on the rocks for a break in a large set of waves.
Extremely High and Very Low Tides are set to occur this weekend. Sunday’s and Monday’s tides will both reach +7.19 feet at around 8 am. If any strong winter storm happens to arrive from the west during these peak tides, some flooding of low-lying coastal areas around San Diego is likely. Several very low tides will also occur within the same string of January dates. On Sunday, the tide drops to -1.74 feet at 2:58 pm. On Monday, a low tide level of -1.71 feet occurs at 3:36 pm. This weekend is a perfect opportunity for exploring marine life in the tidepool areas along San Diego County’s coastline.
