January is our coldest month, Ceanothus blooms early
San Diego's waterfalls should be at their best
A snowy road in the Cuyamaca mountains.
Recent Chilly Days and Nights only confirm that San Diego’s lowest temperatures (according to more than a century of weather records) tend to occur during the month of January. January’s mean temperature at Lindbergh Field is about 55 degrees Fahrenheit. (July’s mean is a balmy 70 degrees.) To experience much colder temperatures, journey to the Cuyamaca Mountains; -1 and -4 degree readings — the lowest in the county — were once recorded there.
San Diego Mountain Lilac (ceanothus cyaneus), on the right (east) fork of the Rattlesnake Canyon trail, in Poway.
Ceanothus, or Wild Lilac, normally a late-winter or early-spring blooming native plant, can sometimes be triggered by rain and sunny winter days to bloom early around coastal and inland San Diego County. Blue- and white-flowering varieties of ceanothus are common wherever native sage-scrub and chaparral vegetation grows, from the bluffs of Torrey Pines to the edge of the Anza-Borrego Desert. Black Mountain Open Space Park is a great place to see California lilacs sprout in spring.
Cedar Creek Falls and Three Sisters Falls are two of many waterfalls benefitting from San Diego's recent rains.
San Diego County's Waterfalls should be at their very best during the next month or two. Just how impressive they will be will depend on the overall amount of winter rainfall. Three of the most accessible waterfalls are: Green Valley Falls at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park; the falls below the first palm grove in Borrego Palm Canyon (Anza-Borrego Desert State Park); and the falls. at the midpoint of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve — a three-mile walk from either its east or west entrance. Hikers and climbers can explore many other waterfalls (some with heights up to 100 feet) in remote areas of the county.
