I am 45 miles s. of San Francisco, CA. It is reported on TV weather/news that the waters off San Francisco are unusually warm. One report was 10 degrees F. over normal; another report said 6 degrees F over normal. It is causing problems (potential) for the fish at the Seaquarium (presumably Monterey Aquarium-ed.) in the area as they use sea water in the tanks; and it's hotter than the fish are accustomed to. I live in Half Moon Bay; and some people are complaining about El Niño. They say because the water here is warmer, we are not getting our fog and usual breeze (caused from the cool, ocean air rushing in to the warmer inland air); and that it is muggy even when breezy.--C.
