2015: Unseasonable high pressure and warm ocean waters led to very warm October days
and the warmest October nights on record from this day through 10/15.
In San Diego, five out of the six highest October minimum temperatures on record occurred.
The highest minimum temperature in any October was 76° on this day and again on 10/13.
This is only two degrees off the highest minimum temperature for any time of year!
(Only seven nights in history recorded 77° or 78°, all of which occurred during September, meaning these October nights were warmer than any night in July or August in San Diego).
On this day the highest minimum temperature in October was also recorded in Chula Vista (73°, only three degrees off all-time highest), Oceanside Harbor (74°, only two degrees off all-time
highest), and El Cajon (tied 69°).

Rainfall totals across the region ranged from 2"- 6" at lower elevations, and from 5"-10" in the coastal mountain ranges.
In Morgan Hill, more than 7" of rain in 13 hours resulted in urban flooding throughout the downtown area.
2006: Thunderstorm winds blew down trees and power lines, and blew tiles off roofs in Mohave Valley (Colorado River Valley north of Needles on AZ side of Colorado River).
A cold upper level low moved across the Mojave Desert, tapping into unseasonably moist air to produce strong thunderstorms.
1978: Bakersfield reached a high of 102° F and would achieve this same high again on the 14th this same year.
1962: Heavy rains continued while wind toppled trees in the Redding area.
One of the fallen trees smashed a water meter at 1318 Trinity St., causing water to shoot skyward.
Waves reached 6' high at Lake Shasta.
As of 8 a.m., 7.19" of rain had fallen this month in the city and another storm was on the way.

This was the greatest one day total in October and also made 2009 the second wettest October on record.
2009: A deep low pressure trough tapped into quite a bit of moisture from the remnants of Super-Typhoon Melor, bringing as much as around 2" of rain to the central and southern San Joaquin Valley on the 13th-14th.
Much higher amounts fell in the Southern Sierra Nevada.
Dinkey Creek received the most precipitation from this storm, with a storm total was just over 13" (about 9" of this fell in 12 hours on the 13th).
Wishon Dam recorded a storm total of around 10" by the 14th.
At the onset of this storm during the morning of Oct 13th, quite a bit of snow fell over the crest of the Sierra Nevada.
Once the precipitation began in earnest by the afternoon of the 13th, snow levels actually rose to over 10,000 feet, so most precipitation was falling as rain by the end of the event on the 14th.
Rock and mud slides were reported on Highway 198 in Sequoia National Park.
A Flash Flood Warning was issued for the Dinkey Creek area due to the very heavy rain.
A hydrograph showed a sharp rise in the stream flow due to rainwater runoff, indicative of a flash flood event in the creek which normally does not reach such high levels.
In addition to the near-record (and in a few locations, record) rainfall, the storm brought high wind gusts that toppled trees, downed utility lines, and created areas of blowing dust with near-zero visibility.
Wind gusts to 58 mph were recorded at both Castle Airport near Atwater (in Merced County) and Crane Flat in Yosemite National Park.
Gusts to 60 mph developed at the south end of the San Joaquin Valley near the base of the Grapevine, and 77-mph gusts occurred over the Temblors in western Kern County.
High winds in the Buttonwillow area caused a chain-reaction vehicle pileup on Interstate 5 around 515 pm on October 13th, where 3 people were killed in traffic collisions.
