1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,080 I'm your host Melissa and it's Wednesday, April 3rd. 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,880 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,140 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:24,360 and entertainment. 6 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,880 But first, you'll be interested to know. 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:35,160 One hundred and sixty-four years ago, today in eighteen sixty, the Pony Express was launched, 8 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:40,960 delivering mail from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California with horse and rider 9 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,960 relays. 10 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,400 Though short-lived and financially unsuccessful, it's celebrated for its adventurous spirit 11 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,360 and contribution to American West folklore. 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,320 Sounds like my first marriage. 13 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,320 Hey-o! 14 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,360 So now you know. 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,520 And now you know what time it is. 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,240 It's time for the surf report. 17 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:13,240 Expect a blend of northwest swells through Thursday, adding modest wind swell by afternoon. 18 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,200 Cleaner conditions shift to onshore by midday. 19 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,880 Surf potential improves Friday with new northwest swell, with chest-to-head highways and possibly 20 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,720 overhead at winter focal points. 21 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,800 Weekend mornings may offer better wind conditions as swell fades. 22 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,800 The South Pacific remains quiet, with a potential small pulse mid-next week, possibly trending 23 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,120 fun by the weekend. 24 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,000 Wednesday at Tourmaline and South San Diego, it's looking good and clean at three-plus 25 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,160 feet until 10 a.m. 26 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,840 After 11, it's choppy, windy and blown out. 27 00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,480 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a three-foot outgoing tide, when the north swell is 2 feet 28 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,040 at 14 seconds and the variable wind is 2 mile per hour. 29 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,680 The first high tide Wednesday will be 4 and a half feet at 5 a.m. with a zero-foot low 30 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,040 tide just before noon 30. 31 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:24,000 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59 degrees for the water temperature. 32 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,920 Checking out the weather in the San Diego area. 33 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:34,560 This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 53 degrees with no wind. 34 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,960 The sunset will take place at 710 and it will rise again tomorrow at 631. 35 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,840 It looks a grin for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. 36 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,400 Otherwise mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny with a high near 69 in wind of 5 to 37 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,680 10 mile per hour and gusts as high as 20. 38 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,640 Tonight cloudy with a low of 52. 39 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,880 Looking ahead in the weather. 40 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:11,000 Thursday will be cloudy with a high near 62 and wind of 5 to 15 mile per hour with gusts 41 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,880 up to 20. 42 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,560 Wind chances begin Thursday night with lows around 49. 43 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,640 Friday forecasts a 60% chance of rain and possibly a thunderstorm after 11 a.m. with 44 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,240 a high near 57. 45 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,440 The night has a chance of showers before 11 with lows around 47. 46 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,600 Saturday and Sunday will be mostly sunny with highs near 62. 47 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 48 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,960 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 49 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:51,440 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 50 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240 for culinary delights. 51 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,800 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 52 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,560 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 53 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,560 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 54 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,000 Just stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 55 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,320 Sunny mornings send you! 56 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:21,680 In local news, San Diego has reported its second measles case this year involving a 57 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,280 47-year-old who had traveled overseas and is now hospitalized. 58 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,400 Health officials warn of potential exposure in Encinitas and Carlsbad at places like Naked 59 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,680 Cafe and Ralph's Market. 60 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,080 Efforts are underway to identify and follow up with exposed individuals. 61 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,560 The first case involved a one-year-old, also a traveler, but the cases seem unrelated. 62 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:55,460 Amid a national rise in measles, the CDC emphasizes vaccination, especially for children, noting 63 00:04:55,460 --> 00:04:58,720 the disease's high contagion rate. 64 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:06,120 This year, 97 cases have been reported across 18 states, with a significant number in unvaccinated 65 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:14,320 or partially vaccinated individuals. 66 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Now on to sports. 67 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,420 Ronald Blanco, at 30 years old, achieved a historic milestone by pitching the earliest 68 00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:27,980 no-hitter in Major League Baseball history, leading the Houston Astros to a 10-to-nothing 69 00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:31,600 win against the Toronto Blue Jays. 70 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:38,120 This remarkable feat occurred on April Fool's Day, surpassing Hideo Nomo's 2001 record 71 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,040 by three days. 72 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,840 Blanco, who first entered the Major Leagues at 28, filled in for injured ace Justin Verlander 73 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:51,240 and demonstrated his skill with a standout change-up. 74 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,680 His performance not only marked the 17th no-hitter in Astros history, but also highlighted an 75 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:03,240 extraordinary week for Blanco, which included witnessing the birth of his second child. 76 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,280 Have a day, big guy! 77 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:14,560 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost to the Cardinals 5-2. 78 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:23,120 In the NBA, the Lakers on the road beat the Raptors 128-111, and the Clippers on the road 79 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,880 lost to the Kings 109-95. 80 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,520 Tonight, the Padres remain at home to play the Cardinals. 81 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,320 The Lakers are on the road in Washington to take on the Wizards. 82 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,120 And the Kings are at home to skate with the Kraken. 83 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:49,060 In top news, Tesla experienced its first annual sales drop since the pandemic began, with 84 00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:54,800 deliveries falling by 100,000 from the previous quarter. 85 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,240 This decrease reflects the growing competition in the electric vehicle market, notably from 86 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,680 Chinese and Western manufacturers. 87 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,860 Despite efforts to maintain profitability through price cuts, Tesla's profit margins 88 00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:11,920 and stock value have been impacted. 89 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,560 The company cited challenges, including production adjustments and external disruptions, but 90 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:23,880 the broader issue remains the intensifying competition, especially from BYD, which briefly 91 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,600 surpassed Tesla in EV sales. 92 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,880 Despite these setbacks, Tesla reclaimed its title from BYD, which saw a more significant 93 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,480 sales drop. 94 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:42,120 Meanwhile, traditional automakers are advancing in the EV space, introducing new models and 95 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,360 capturing market share, further pressuring Tesla's dominance. 96 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:55,000 In business news, over the past three years, China and Hong Kong stock markets have experienced 97 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,760 a staggering $5 trillion drop in market capitalization, surpassing the entire value of the Indian 98 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,320 stock market, as reported by HSBC. 99 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,120 This significant decline contrasts sharply with the performance of Indian stocks, which 100 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:18,480 have seen robust growth and optimism, further highlighted by India hosting the most IPOs 101 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,740 in 2023. 102 00:08:20,740 --> 00:08:25,920 The National Stock Exchange of India has notably ascended to become the world's fourth-largest 103 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,000 stock exchange, underscoring the country's growing financial influence. 104 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,200 Conversely, China's economic challenges, particularly in its real estate sector, and 105 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:43,880 skepticism around meeting its growth targets, have contributed to the downturn in its markets. 106 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,680 This dynamic shift emphasizes India's rising prominence in the global investment landscape. 107 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:56,200 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just above $66,000. 108 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,320 Ethereum is at $3,300. 109 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,240 And Solana is $188. 110 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,640 Moving on to a more local vibe. 111 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:15,580 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 112 00:09:15,580 --> 00:09:19,920 to bring you some free classes, so

--> 00:09:44,040 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 118 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,320 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 119 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,440 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 120 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,160 And now back to the show. 121 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Let's talk science. 122 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,000 The Earth's rotation, which influences time measurement, is experiencing a complex interaction 123 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:11,400 between acceleration due to the planet's liquid outer core and deceleration from global 124 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,100 warming effects on the polar ice caps. 125 00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:20,920 This dynamic has postponed the potential need to remove a leap second until around 2028 126 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:26,240 or 2029, a measure considered due to the Earth's speeding rotation. 127 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:32,840 Historically, the Earth's rotation has slowed, with days lengthening over billions of years. 128 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:39,240 However, recent trends suggest a leap second might need to be subtracted to adjust for 129 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,960 this acceleration. 130 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,800 Climate change by melting polar ice and redistributing mass is slowing the rotation of the Earth slightly, 131 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,240 delaying this unprecedented adjustment. 132 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,600 Leap seconds have been added since 1972 to synchronize atomic time and Earth's rotational 133 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:05,240 time, but their future is uncertain, with plans to eliminate them by 2035. 134 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,880 And in entertainment news. 135 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,860 John Stewart revealed that Apple intervened to prevent Federal Trade Commission Chair 136 00:11:15,860 --> 00:11:21,840 Lena Kahn from appearing on his Apple TV Plus show, The Problem with John Stewart, and 137 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,920 discouraged discussions on artificial intelligence. 138 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:31,440 This disclosure aligns with earlier reports of creative disagreements leading to the show's 139 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,520 cancellation, highlighting tensions over potential guests, and sensitive topics like China and 140 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,520 AI. 141 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,800 Stewart, who returned to the Daily Show, shared these insights during an interview with Kahn, 142 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,280 underscoring Apple's caution against content that might provoke controversy, especially 143 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:55,360 around topics like AI, which is poised to play a significant role in the company's 144 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,480 future product updates. 145 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,840 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 146 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,100 And today, our quote comes from John Stewart himself. 147 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:10,160 The host of the Daily Show said, 148 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,200 If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values. 149 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,160 They're hobbies. 150 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,920 Shots fired John. 151 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,300 What a savage. 152 00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:26,920 And that's a wrap for this morning. 153 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:33,100 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 154 00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,320 with local news and the surf reports. 155 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 156 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:48,400 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
