First-ever rainless January in S.F. history

The month ended with a sun-drenched bang Saturday, an apropos ending for what was the driest January on record in San Francisco.

Not one drop of measurable rain fell on city streets in January, the first time that’s happened in recorded weather history, which dates back to the Gold Rush.

Other Bay Area cities, including San Jose, saw at most two one-hundredths of an inch during the same time, which was probably just real heavy fog with a drizzle rather than real rain, said Jan Null, former lead meteorologist for the National Weather Service and a meteorology consultant.

... It was shorts and T-shirt weather Saturday, with temperatures hitting 70 degrees before lunch in San Francisco and a whopping 73 at the beach in Half Moon Bay.

5. It's great for us in northern Solano county after....

three weeks of bone chilling tule fog. I noticed my almond trees have started blooming and the bees are working them.

3. Enjoying the weather but...

am not looking forward to the inevitable water rationing that is coming this summer.

4. Well. THAT explains it.

I've found their missing rain: it's all over here in Tucson. They can come and get it, if they want.

7. It's finally cooling down here in SF.

It was really hot today. The sun here is so bright that 70 here feels like 85 in Texas. We haven't had a cold rainy January since the winter of 2013-2014.

8. The weather in California is completely strange.

That affects the seasons, the appearance of flowers like wood sorrel that attracts bees to trees that need to be pollinated (think avocados) and all sorts of things.

Can't do anything about it. And the weather is beautiful. But the seasons are out of sync. This is definitely climate change. I have seen a change in the time when plants blossom over the past years. It's subtle in some cases but very clear in others. Anyway, I'm going to have a bumper crop of California poppies this year. We have to take what comes our way in life. I just hope I don't get a yard full of poppies and avocado trees barren of fruit. The wood sorrel was too early. Maybe it will stay long enough but I don't know.

10. Wow. We actually got a few good days of rain in Southern Cal in January.

But I still want to move up to northern California. Just love it up there.
