Recent rains trigger desert vegetation, fall brings dense fog to coastal regions
Seasonal change is in the air
Ocotillos have very long stems that are coated in a waxy substance which helps in reducing water loss.
Recent Thundershowers, Having Blessed most of San Diego County with welcome (if spotty) precipitation of late, have triggered a minor growth spurt among certain kinds of vegetation. In the desert, for example, the spidery ocotillo can grow an instant crop of green leaves after a storm, only to drop them two or three weeks later if no further rain arrives. The distribution of green-leaved ocotillos tells not only where rain has recently fallen; but also where the runoff has collected and remained for enough time to be absorbed by the ocotillo’s root system. Various cacti may also benefit from the downpours; barrel cacti expand in girth by soaking up water, and the pads of the beavertail cactus plump up like overstuffed pillows.
Foggy day under the Oceanside Pier
Dense Ground Fogs are a trademark of the onset of autumn along San Diego’s coastal strip. These happen during the night and early morning hours when moist marine air that has settled in valleys and low areas is chilled below the dewpoint. These ground fogs are distinct from the low overcast that usually blankets the coastal strip on late-spring and summer mornings.
Cobweb covered in dew during heavy fog
We're Witnessing A Drastic Seasonal Change as the county goes from high temps to Fall weather in a matter of weeks. You can feel the slight chill in the air as the days get shorter and the dew clings to the world a little longer each morning. Orb Weaver spiders are already making their webs across our porches and walkways, collecting insects and water droplets overnight. All these things point to yesterday's autumnal equinox. The Fall season officially began on Monday morning and will continue for three months until the sun reaches to its farthest southerly point on the winter solstice, December 21.
