Sometimes I don’t understand the weather

Temperatures have been in the mid 60s to the low 70s, with the nights in the mid 40s. And the harder the wind blows the cooler it gets.

But the past couple of days the wind has been from the south, and it has been cooler. What? Wait. It’s warmer the farther south you go, right? So we should have higher temperatures. But no.

I guess what’s happening is this wind is coming off the Pacific, the Sea of Cortez, and the mountains of Baja California. The sky has been mostly overcast, reducing the amount of sunlight that would otherwise warm the air and ground and me.

I can’t complain, though. It’s not freezing. We didn’t get snowed on. It’s just surprising. And confusing.
