"Locals Summer" begins now, Sage scrub vegetation is waiting for rain
Corn Harvest Moon rises this weekend
A Summer sunset in Mission Beach.
“Locals Summer” Begins Now. At last: the span of warm weather after Labor Day, when the kids are back in school, the days are still long, and the tourists are gone (for the most part). Spend an evening at the beach, or kayaking La Jolla Cove. This is your time to enjoy your town, San Diego locals.
San Diego’s coastal Sage-scrub vegetation is now at the very nadir of its growth cycle.
San Diego’s Coastal SageScrub Vegetation is now at the very nadir of its growth cycle. Shades of gray and yellow have replaced the bright greens that carpeted many of the still-wild coastal hillsides up until April or May of this year. Some coastal regions received a small amount of rain last week but sometime within the next several weeks, the first substantial autumn rain will shatter the usual summer drought, and our “summer-deciduous” vegetation could bounce back in a matter of days.
Balboa Park - Harvest Moon
September's Corn Harvest Moon Is Named Such Because corn is typically ready to harvest around this time. The full Moon rises around sunset for several nights in a row, which gives farmers extra light for them to finish their harvests before the colder fall temperatures begin. The Moon usually rises about an hour later each night, but around the time of the fall equinox, the angle of the Moon’s orbit and the tilt of the Earth cause the Moon to rise only about 20 to 30 minutes after sunset each night.
San Diego Skyline at Sunset ....
Catch The Corn Harvest Full Moon Rising this weekend, Sunday, September 7, from the boat-launching area on Shelter Island. You’ll witness (weather permitting) a beautiful spectacle: As the sun sets behind Point Loma, the west-facing facets of several mirrored buildings downtown will reflect a rosy or golden glow straight back toward Shelter Island. It will appear as if the skyline is glowing. The moon will already be high above and to the right of the skyline. This full-moon alignment occurs around this time of the year (near the autumnal equinox) and also near vernal equinox, which is in late March. If the moon happens to appear a little larger than usual, it’s no accident: The full-moon phase this month coincides with lunar perigee — the moon’s closest approach to Earth.
