March 1, 2016 (San Diego’s East County) – It’s official – last month was the hottest February ever I San Diego County since record-keeping began way back in 1875. 

The National Weather Service reports the average high temperature in February 2016 was a balmy 74.5 degrees, while the average low was 53.5 degrees. 

Only a half inch of rain fell – but that dry weather is about to change.  This weekend, a low pressure trough is forecast to bring rain to coastal areas and snow in East County’s mountains, starting Sunday.  Also watch for fog during your morning driving this week.
