Dry air

The weather in San Diego is probably as pleasant as it possibly can be. Usually, we have winds from the ocean towards the land, which brigs warmer (in winter) or cooler (in summer) air with reasonable humidity.
Sometimes, however, the winds "turn around" and move from deserts in the east towards the ocean. They bring hot air, sand/dust, and low humidity:





It's no fun to bike or run in this weather. Even though it is not hot, your nose gets dry, lips crackle, sore throats and head aches. Fortunately, it is usually over in a few days.
