How much has San Diego's November weather changed over the years?

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Despite some patchy fog reported in coastal areas Wednesday afternoon, weather conditions during Thanksgiving week have been mostly clear and dry for San Diego County.

Although places to the north including Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties received bouts of rain and snow over the past few days, San Diego was not impacted by the atmospheric river that hit much of the West Coast.

San Diego is not a stranger to stormy weather this time of year.

In fact, the National Weather Service recorded a powerful storm that passed through the region on Thanksgiving Day in 2019. The storm brought wind gusts between 40 and 50 miles per hour as well as heavy rainfall that led to flooding and erosion along the coast and valleys in San Diego County, according to the NWS.

Before that, on Thanksgiving Day in 2009, a rain event ended a streak of 164 consecutive dry days in San Diego that began in June of that year.

Forty-eight years to Friday's date, in 1976, it was 32 degrees in Borrego Springs -- the earliest in the season to record a freezing temperature, per the NWS.

Then, in 1991, strong winds and snowfall swept through Southern California. The storm knocked out power for about 60,000 people in L.A. and San Diego.

Fast forward decades later, 2021 had the warmest November on record, recording about 1.8 degrees above average for various climate stations across the region.

Weather experts predict La Niña will bring drier conditions to Southern California this year, but because it is a weaker system than seen in the past, there are also reasons to believe San Diego County could see more rain this winter.
