Today our high temperature was 94F, we broke a 1899 record!

But what gets me is what they "forecasted" and how off they were, this is from our local newspaper this morning:

"Today also will be warm, but forecaster Ted MacKechnie said inland areas shouldn't top the mid-90s, and the coast should be in the upper 70s. Morning wind gusts might reach 15 to 20 mph in the mountains and canyons."

When I read this at 10am it was already 80 degrees along the coast and it ended up being about 15-20 degrees warmer than they "forecasted". Does anyone else have such bad weather forecasting like San Diego? Seriously, the weather people here rarely get anything right that isn't sunny and 70's.

actually they didn't. Weather.com didn't say a high of 93 until later in the evening, all day on weather.com it said it was going to be 75 or something for the high even when I was looking at a temperature of 80 at 10am. Yahoo.com is my homepage and I always look at the weather.com forecasts and I was looking at it throughout the day. Trust me, it didn't say it was going to be 93 today until they changed in the afternoon/evening after it was obviously wrong. This happens often when we get Santa Ana winds, weather forecasters don't do a great job predicting when the heat will go away and how hot it will get for some reason.

You can even read what they forecasted today from that article in the local paper: SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Metro -- El Cajon sets heat record; relief expected tomorrow
