Hurricane Patricia remnants having a breeze in Texas and Louisiana. Finally got some rain after 100 days or so with about an inch.
You must live near me, GasLightStreet. In fact, the ground around here was so rocksolid because of the drought that we're now in danger of flooding.
SE LA. I've not been to the lakefront but from what I understand it's been under water.
Nice ton of rain from Patricia.

Not that near, I guess--I'm in NE LA. But the rain has done us a lot of good here, except the places with flash floods.

Bundle up stones2000, and be sure you have a bike light.

I don't mind rain...I'd rather have rain than just cloud. Clouds are so dreary. At least when it's raining, the weather is committed to being bad

I believe that is none other than the poison dart frog my dear, lovely indeed and the color is probably a naturally evolved defense that instinctively tells other creatures it's better to watch the guy than eat him.

Yes, noticeably warmer, and it's been this way all summer...and now Fall. Water temp. 10 degrees above normal at 71 °F - no wetsuit necessary.
I was at Zuma Beach and County Line (Ventura/L.A.) today - Leo Carillo is right in between them. Waves expected to get even bigger tomorrow and the next few days!
I assume you used to live down here? I've also surfed all the places you mentioned. From San Diego to Santa Cruz, and many places in between.
Born and raised in Santa Monica, now in Ventura county since '89 - with a few extended detours throughout the years (Hawaii, England, Netherlands).
I lived in Arizona for almost a year when I was 13 and almost died lol, have to live near a coast, otherwise I'm a fish out of water.

I went swimming in Santa Monica Friday -- felt to be about 65 degrees, which is warmer than San Francisco right now, but still respectably nippy.
San Francisco is unseasonably warm lately (mid 70s almost every day). It's oddly damp, which isn't something I've experienced much of here, where I live in the Mission District, which is typically warm and dry--only seen fog a few times in the Mission, as opposed to other neighborhoods I've lived in, like right off the Panhandle, the Inner Richmond, and Russian Hill near the water, where fog was common. Today is around 70 degrees with uncharacteristically heavy cloud cover, and seagulls flying around (which usually happens only before it rains).

Good to know, NL...gives a whole new meaning to fatal attraction.

The ocean temps have indeed dropped several degrees since I posted the above last Monday - possibly due to evening temps dropping quite a bit. Today was the last day of heat, and a huge fog bank made it onto shore at about noon. One mile inland though it was still bright, warm, and sunny. Temps are due to drop about 10-15 degrees here, and a high possibility of rain later tomorrow - thankfully. I suppose the 'endless summer' might finally be coming to an end...
I'm not too familiar with San Francisco and all it's neighborhoods but have visited there quite a few time in my life. Was there with my wife for a week last February, and we were blessed with warm sunny weather. On the other hand, I've been there before where it was quite cold and windy. Reminds me of one the Stones shows up there during the Licks tour. If memory serves it sprinkled on Sheryl Crowe haha, but cleared up for when the Stones came on! It's a great city, and look forward to returning again soon!

The UK has just decided that our big Atlantic winter storms are going to have names from now on - just like other people's hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones. So we are about to get battered by Storm Abigail...
[www.theguardian.com]
Under the scheme, storms will be named when they are deemed to have the potential to cause a substantial impact in the UK and/or Ireland.
Abigail is the first on the list of winning names, followed by Barney, Clodagh, Desmond, Eva, Frank, Gertrude, Henry, Imogen, Jake, Katie, Lawrence, Mary, Nigel, Orla, Phil, Rhonda, Steve, Tegan, Vernon and Wendy.
