Hazards to watch for
A windblown dust advisory is in effect this week for the Coachella Valley and Eastern Riverside County. That began at 5 p.m. yesterday and will last through 5 a.m. Friday morning due to high winds in the area. The South Coast Air Quality Management District warns the air quality could be unhealthy for sensitive groups — or worse.

And, yes, even the meteorologists are sick of going without our SoCal sunshine. The National Weather Service in San Diego, which covers Orange County, reports yesterday they saw eight record lows for the date, including in Anaheim (66), Ramona (62) and Palomar Mountain (47).
We hear you, May Gray is turning to June Gloom tomorrow & frankly it's getting old. Good news, the forecast shows a lower percentage of cloud cover for many areas each afternoon thru Sunday! Temps will remain on the cool side, but look for a little more sunshine. #CAwx #LAweather pic.twitter.com/OBnk99Qi8Y

Yes, we know and we've heard how ugly this weather is. But when you get above the inversion, it's quite beautiful. Cuyamaca Peak (6,500 ft) looking north 6-9 pm today. Thanks HPWREN. pic.twitter.com/VRTR4MzAqN

This Day In History
If the past few week's temperatures have seemed chilly, imagine how it felt in 1967 when temperatures in Idyllwild and Palomar Mountain dropped to 24 and 28 degrees, respectively, each the lowest on record for June.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
