While much of the country is baking, Berkeley is bundling up
Briefly

This summer in Berkeley has been the coldest in more than 25 years, with temperatures in June and July ranking as the lowest since 1999. While much of California is warming, the East Bay remains cool due to marine fog and ocean breezes caused by a stalled atmospheric pattern offshore. Residents report feeling the chill, modifying their clothing habits to cope with the unusual cold weather. Meteorological analysis indicates that a combination of low-pressure troughs and northwesterly winds are the reasons behind the cooler than normal temperatures.
Berkeley's summer has been the coldest in over 25 years, with temperatures significantly lower than average in June and July, reflecting patterns inconsistent with the broader warming trend across California.
A combination of upper-level low-pressure systems and northwesterly winds has resulted in a persistent marine layer, leading to cooler temperatures in Berkeley. This unusual weather pattern has remained consistent.
