Hi V!
Whatever is happening with the Houses I do not know.
But I can see the sky real good from my window.

Can not say it is all sunny. Can not say it is all gloomy either.
It is really interesting to watch.

The whole San Diego sky is like a huge battle field.

New and new clouds come up from the behind the buildings every minute. The ocean makes them up in a huge abundance. Sometimes you see separate clouds, sometimes it is like one huge wall.

On the way up some of the clouds are already loosing the dark and ugly color. The others do not.

The desert acts like a huge vacuum cleaner. Cold desert after the night sucks in warm moisty air from the ocean. This is what makes the clouds in the very beginning and also raises them higher and higher above the ocean.

As they move up and toward the East into the continent, the
wind and sun come along and start to work.

Wind tries to break the clouds in smaller pieces making the job easier for the Sun to melt down the rest.
Sun is anxious and ready to pick up where the wind stopped.

I wish I have an experience with forecasting the weather.
Because it is not as clear cut as I would like to see it.
Sometimes I see the sun shining thru the clouds and sometimes not.

It is kind of pumping the clouds and moving them above the building and I can not see them anymore.

So, I walk to another part of the building with window facing East, so now I can see what happened to these clouds.

I wish I can say they are gone. But they are not. Still there. Not covering the whole sky but also they are not a little tiny sheeps either.

Though I have to say they do not look as heavy and strong as in the beginning. But it also seems that from The East window somehow I see more of the sky than from the West?
So maybe this is why it seems there is less clouds now?

I guess the answer is somewhere in the science books?
But I do remember that explanation I have read somewhere long time ago that as morning goes away, the desert becomes warmer and warmer.
And when the desert becomes warmer than the ocean, the gigantic vacuum cleaner starts working again.
But now in the opposite direction. Now it is the colder ocean that makes the clouds to move toward the ocean.

Or is it just that clouds melt above the hot desert? I do not remember. But I think in both cases the resulting outcome should be "sunny in San Diego"

Gregory.
