"Counting Down to Longer Days: Winter Solstice Marks the Turning Point"

The Winter Solstice, marking the first day of winter, will occur on December 21 this year. However, it is not the shortest day of the year as the following day will also be equally short. The days will start getting longer from December 23 onwards. Despite the increase in daylight, the coldest period of the year is typically in mid to late January due to the seasonal temperature lag. Additionally, the biggest snowstorms are expected in January and February. The weather outlook suggests a progressing cold pattern as we approach the New Year, with the possibility of winter conditions in early January.

California's Drought Conditions Significantly Improve with Winter Storms.

44% of California is now free of any drought classification, up from 27% a week ago, thanks to a series of rain and snowstorms since December. 36% of the state is still experiencing moderate drought, while 8% is in severe drought. The wet winter has led to snowpack levels well above seasonal averages in the Sierra Nevada, and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has lifted emergency water restrictions for nearly 7 million people. Another atmospheric river is expected to hit the state next week.
