1. San Diego county is unique in the nation because SDG&E has 170 weather stations located along all their circuits all around the county.  These sensors drive their own micro-climate simulations to report very localized San Diego weather, reportedly the best micro-climate system in the country.  This is an amazing tool to see local temperature, humidity, wind and wind direction everywhere around the county.  Click here for the best San Diego County weather information available 24/7! 

As a Ham, you can be an official "Skywarn" weather reporter of your weather and conditions for the National Weather Service, a great service for the Ramona community.  The details on how to do this are on our Skywarn Page.

   • Looking north from Mt. Woodson toward Palomar Mtn.  

   • Looking east from Mt. Woodson over Highway 67, the Ramona airport, downtown Ramona and much of the Ramona valley.  Your first place to look for smoke, fire or storms that may impact us.  OFF LINE.  Use AlertCA below.

   • Looking west from Mt. Woodson over Poway and to the ocean.

   • Looking south from Mt Woodson over Highway 67 and toward downtown San Diego

   • Mountain Web Cams (Julian, Cuyamaca, Laguna) 

   • Alert California cameras.  Cameras across California from various agencies with (1) pointing azimuth shown so you can tell directions, and (2) a recent addition of highway cameras where they exist.  SDG&E can pan the cameras in times of need.  Pick any camera you want.  VERY USEFUL!
