The Floss Silk Tree, a conspicuous “autumn bloomer” here and there around San Diego, has been showing off its pinkish or purplish hibiscus-like flowers for at least a month now. The broad, heavy trunk of this South American import, which is studded with fat, cone-shaped spines, makes it easy to identify.

Low-lying Temperature Inversions become common in San Diego as winter approaches. During the night and morning hours, a meteorological condition often occurs in which the “normal” higher-you-go-the colder-it-gets trend is reversed. At such times, cold marine air lies below a stable layer of warmer air that originated from inland locales. Whenever moist air is trapped below a low-lying inversion layer, dense fog forms on or near the ground. Sometimes, it's so thick that San Diego International Airport is forced to suspend operations.
Remember To Set Your Clocks Back Sunday morning at 2 am, when Daylight Saving Time ends. On March 15, 2022, the Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act of 2023. It is waiting to be approved by the House of Representatives and signed into law. In December 2024, President Trump weighed in on Daylight Saving Time, calling it “inconvenient” and “very costly to our nation,” and pledging that he would work to eliminate it. If the bill becomes law, it will allow states to observe Daylight Saving Time year-round. Arizona, Hawaii, and U.S. territories are on standard time year-round and will remain that way if the Sunshine Protection Act becomes law.

San Diego’s Latest Sunrise this year will be Saturday, November 1, at 7:06 am. If Standard Time were observed year-round, the latest possible sunrise in San Diego (6:51 am PST) would always take place near January 8.
