OT: San Diego County/Del Mar Fair – Mini Review 2011

[desmond]

Yes the Del Mar Fair is not a wine tasting event that SDR recommends, it is a fair, complete with bad food, crowds with weird people, line cutters, etc. Bring your kids and have a good time. Do they still have the Beer Gardens? I used to bounce there in my younger days, (a long time ago). btw, complaining about humidity in Del Mar is really weak.

Did I mention the guy who cuts in the line at the gate, with his entire family tree in tow, bitches because his freedoms are violated by the security check. Asshole.

Yes, that was me…

[quote=paramount]I just checked the humidity right now (6PM) in Del Mar and it was at 84% – wow. I guess I’m not used to the coastal humidity.[/quote]

Relative humidity is not really a good comparative measure – you are better off comparing dew points. Right now, just about everywhere has a dew point around 60 or 61 F – meaning equally humid. The relative humidity is lower inland because it is hotter. This is somewhat atypical this time of year – usually the dew point will be about 5 degrees lower inland. At any rate, this is slightly more humid than usual, though for people from the Midwest or Southeast, the thought of this weather being “humid” is laughable. 🙂

My impression based on a limited number of visits is that it always seems more sticky and humid at the fairgrounds / racetrack – must be some sort of dead zone for the breeze in that area. Throw in a huge crowd, and it’s probably a given.
