Yes I have seen those sea breeze boundaries give areas just to my north rain while I get nothing. I remember the same thing in Florida. It would be sunny at the beach and about 10 miles inland plenty of thunderstorms. However, today it is actually raining here and some thunder.
After a very oppressive morning and early afternoon, the sea breeze has turned this late afternoon into something fairly comfortable. After a high of 91, now down to 83.
Almost had some rain here but again it just died and moved near me but not over me. I shouldn't lie, I may have gotten enough rain to make the car tops a little wet.
True, I have not mowed the front lawn in weeks. Just some edging. What is amazing is how some of the weeds can still grow out of the cracks in driveways and roads.
There has not been to many long stretches of dry and actually boring weather like what were having, in recent years. When I say boring, at least in my area. It is getting pretty frustrating watching the rain continue to miss certain areas.
