Point Mugu Forecasters Handbook

Abstract

Three dominant weather patterns, or regimes, occur at Point Mugu and the local area throughout the year. The stratus regime is the most striking, persistent, and important, from the viewpoint of range operations. It occurs throughout most of the spring and summer, but less frequently in the fall and winter. The Santa Ana regime is the second most important weather pattern. Santa Ana conditions occur during the fall, winter, and spring months and rarely last more than a few days. The third dominant weather pattern, transient synoptic features, includes all the rain-producing storms and fronts and other causes of generally unfavorable weather.
