Low Elevation? Close to the Ocean? (precipitation)
Do you live there? I am so jealous.
It’s what they call the “marine layer” – moist, cool air from the ocean meets warm, dry air inland. It’s typical almost year-round and usually burns off by late morning.
Yeah I’ve noticed that too. Lately whenever I’m outside after 8pm or so it’s really foggy. Especially on the west side. I kinda like it though. Makes everything seem kinda surreal.
if youve ever been driving near the beach like at 3 am its sooo cool. You cant see within 10 ft in front of you though.Sucks if you happen to be driving on the freeway at that hour. i love it ^_^
yea I was driving through malibu canyon once at like 2am and it was terrifying. I couldn’t see anything except headlights and street lights. Beautiful, but terrifying to drive through.
