While other parts of the nation are celebrating the arrival of fall weather, we're not quite there yet here in San Diego. Although the calendar might say that we're in fall, San Diego doesn't always look at the calendar. For example, in 2003 and 2007, some of the worst wildfires in California history occurred in October.

If we look at the hottest temperatures ever recorded in the city of San Diego since 1872 when we started keeping records, the ten hottest days have occurred in September and October:

1. 111°F - September 26, 1963
2. 110°F - September 17, 1913
3. 107°F - September 4, 1988
4. 107°F - October 14, 1961
5. 106°F - September 21, 1939
6. 104°F - October 3, 1987
7. 104°F - October 22, 1965
8. 104°F - September 27, 1963
9. 104°F - September 1, 1955
10. 103°F - September 23, 1975

What is specifically unique about these record highs is that the official San Diego temperature is recorded at the San Diego International Airport (also known as Lindbergh Field). Our airport sits downtown on the bay, so the cool Pacific Ocean air and humidity often buffers the temperature there.

It's when the Santa Ana winds arrive out of the mountains in Utah and Nevada, blowing westward and carrying that daytime desert heat into San Diego. The Santa Ana season is upon us, so continue to expect high temperatures and high winds, and remember fire safety if you smoke or have a fireplace in your Mission Valley condominium.

Now is the time to have your fireplace and chimney checked by a qualified chimney sweep, as well as having your heating and cooling system checked by a qualified heating and cooling professional.
