(46,192 posts)72. Actually, you don't know...the high has never been 30 in San Diego
The lowest maximum in fact, hasn't been less than 50 since 1949. The lowest maximum since then has been 50.
In fact, not only has the high temperature never been 30 (at least not the history of weather records...), a low temperature of 30 hasn't occurred since 1949.
You were wrong there too.
As for the high temperature in San Diego, I didn't argue with you. 104 is on the high side for San Diego, but has been exceeded at least a few times.

That he has so many followers, shows Limbaugh is a commentary on an ugly, ignorant part of America.
