Cuyamacas had two lowest temperatures recorded in the county

San Diego's latest sunrises coming this weekend

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 Cuyamacas; -1 and -4 degree readings were once recorded there — the two lowest temperatures ever recorded in the county.

The Latest Sunrise of the Year (on standard, not daylight time) occurs Sunday, January 7, 8, and 9, near 6:52am for most of metropolitan San Diego. Slowly at first, then more rapidly in the weeks to come, sunrise will arrive earlier with each passing day. By March 20, the sun will be rising a full hour earlier than it does now. The earlier sunrises are mostly a consequence of the sun’s apparent movement from the southern sky toward the northern sky from December to June. You can keep track of that movement by noting where the sun rises (or sets) over a period of many weeks from a fixed vantage point, such as your home.

Where’s Venus These Days? It’s nowhere to be seen, and for good reason. Venus reaches conjunction, 5° north of the Sun, on January 8th, which means that it lies on the far side of the sun and is hidden in the sun’s glaring light. Venus will make its first appearance as a newly reborn “evening star,” visible in the west after sundown, about a month from now.

The above comes from the Outdoors listings in the Reader compiled by Jerry Schad, author of Afoot & Afield in San Diego County. Schad died in 2011. Planet information from SkyandTelescope.org.
