March is typically windy, Sage scents in the foothills
Butterflies may cross the county
Wingers on a relatively windy afternoon in Mission Bay.
March Is the Proverbial Windy Month here in San Diego, as in most places. From midday to late afternoon, sun-warmed air expands and rises over the county’s interior, drawing in an influx of cool air from the coast to replace it. These afternoon sea breezes will continue at peak strength until well into the summer, providing dependable conditions for such sports as sailing, kite flying, and hang-gliding.
Coastal sage scrub in bloom and riparian habitat
The Pleasantly Pungent Odor Of Sage is filling the air wherever native vegetation grows on the county’s coastal and lower-foothill slopes. Most common are the black sage, with tight clusters of small, white flowers; the grayish-leaved white sage; purple-blossomed, sweet-smelling Cleveland sage; and California sagebrush, characterized by soft, needle-like leaves.
Painted lady butterflies inhabit every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
Painted Lady Butterflies May Take Wing across San Diego County sometime next month. This happened in a dramatic way in 2019, during a year of greater-than-normal rainfall. This season’s significant rains may trigger a similar painted lady butterfly migration into our area from the Anza-Borrego Desert and northern Baja California. You will spot them winging west or northwest, toward greener, more succulent vegetation and away from the drying desert flora.
The Full Worm Moon Reaches Its Peak at midnight Monday, March 25 but will rise and be visible just after sunset on both Sunday and Monday nights. If we get any rain on either of these nights we might see a rare occurrence called a moonbow. A moonbow is just like a rainbow but is created by moonlight (rather than sunlight) when it is refracted through water droplets in the air. Moonbows only happen when the full moon is low in the sky. So, if it's raining, even just a drizzle, on either night, look for a moon bow in the sky after the sun sets when the sky begins to darken.
