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 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, April 25th. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,680 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,640 But first, you'll be interested to know 65 years ago, today, in 1959. 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,460 One of the largest civil engineering feats ever undertaken, the St. Lawrence Seaway, 8 00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:40,780 officially opened, linking the Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes. 9 00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:42,660 So now you know. 10 00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:45,480 And now you know what time it is. 11 00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:50,440 It's time for the surf report. 12 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:56,480 Fading south, southwest swell is still good for waist-to-stomach-high waves, at well-exposed 13 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,120 spots on Thursday and some occasional larger sets pushing chest-high for standouts in 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,320 South County San Diego. 15 00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:10,400 Westerly onshore wind or dew all day, mainly light early morning, slowly rising through 16 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,200 midday, then getting moderate for most of the afternoon. 17 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,840 Surf tapers down Friday into the weekend with smaller southwest or south-southwest swell 18 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,320 in the mix, Thursday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 19 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:31,280 It's looking fair at 2 to 3 feet until 2. 20 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,640 After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset. 21 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:42,260 Best time to ride is at 9 a.m. with a 2-foot incoming tide when the west swell is 2 feet 22 00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:48,120 at 14 seconds and the onshore wind is 4 mile per hour. 23 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:54,240 The first high tide Thursday will be 3 feet just after 11 a.m. with a 2-foot low tide 24 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,240 just before 4. 25 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:04,720 The nearshore buoy at Scripps and La Jolla reads 61 degrees for the water temperature. 26 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,700 Checking out the weather in the San Diego area? 27 00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:15,520 This morning it's cloudy and feels like 59 degrees with 6 mile per hour wind. 28 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:22,040 The sunset will take place at 726 and it will rise again tomorrow at 605. 29 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,800 It looks like we're in for a slight chance of showers before 11 a.m. 30 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,620 It will be mostly cloudy with a high near 64 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour. 31 00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:36,880 Chance of precipitation is 20 percent. 32 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:45,280 Tonight a slight chance of showers after 11 p.m. with a low around 55. 33 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,680 Looking ahead in the weather? 34 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,680 This weekend will be partly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 60s. 35 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,560 Friday will be mostly cloudy with a chance of showers before 11 a.m. and a high near 36 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,560 64. 37 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,000 Wind could gust as high as 25 mile per hour. 38 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,960 Apache fog is possible Sunday night followed by sunny skies and a high near 71 on Monday 39 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,720 after the fog clears. 40 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,960 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 41 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,960 This podcast is brought to you by

00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960 Sunny mornings send you. 49 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:59,720 In local news, British Airways has doubled its daily flights from San Diego to London, 50 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,800 a route that's been in operation since 2011. 51 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,000 Over 2 million passengers have traveled this route with a 50% increase in demand observed 52 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,600 from 2019 to 2023. 53 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:19,120 The additional flight, operational until October 25th, caters to both business and leisure 54 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,960 travelers, enhancing connectivity and providing nonstop travel options across the Atlantic. 55 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:37,120 This expansion utilizes Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft. 56 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,320 Now on to sports. 57 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:46,240 Today prepare for a whirlwind at the NFL Draft as the top 10 picks could usher in unexpected 58 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:52,560 moves mainly due to the unpredictable quarterback market and other key players. 59 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,580 Insights from coaches and executives suggest a high stakes evening with the Chicago Bears 60 00:04:57,580 --> 00:05:03,320 likely leading off by selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams. 61 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:09,420 He's seen as a standout talent suitable for a team in dire need of a franchise leader. 62 00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:14,680 The subsequent picks are expected to be equally dynamic, with potential trades shaking up 63 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,920 the order as teams like the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots make strategic moves 64 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640 to secure top talents. 65 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,320 The draft night is set to be a spectacle of strategic gambits and we'll be back tomorrow 66 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,600 with the results. 67 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:40,100 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Rockies 5-2 and the Kings 68 00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:44,480 on the road beat the Oilers 5-4 in game 2. 69 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320 The series is now tied. 70 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:55,160 Tonight the Padres remain on the road in Colorado to take on the Rockies and the Lakers, down 71 00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:01,080 two games to none, are at home to play the Nuggets. 72 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:08,040 In top news, the U.S. Department of Transportation is implementing new regulations to enhance 73 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,160 consumer protection in air travel. 74 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,680 Announced by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, these rules mandate airlines to 75 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,420 fully disclose the total cost of flights before ticket purchase and ensure prompt cash refunds 76 00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:26,720 for cancellations or significant changes. 77 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,160 This initiative addresses the rising issue of surprise junk fees, aiming to make pricing 78 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,700 more transparent and reduce the hassle for consumers. 79 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:41,320 The airline industry, however, has expressed concerns that these regulations could lead 80 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:47,960 to confusion, arguing that passengers generally do not need or want such detailed information 81 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:48,960 upfront. 82 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,280 And at this point, they might be right. 83 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:58,560 After years and years of unethical price obfuscation, I probably would be confused when seeing an 84 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,760 honest and straightforward price. 85 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,040 In business news. 86 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,880 In May, Congress is poised to potentially revolutionize the U.S. cryptocurrency landscape 87 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,240 with a stablecoin bill that aims to establish a new regulatory framework for digital assets 88 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,760 pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar. 89 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,960 This legislation, drafted by Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand, seeks to ban 90 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,560 algorithmic stablecoins and require stablecoin issuers to be either state-chartered trust 91 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,440 companies or banks. 92 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Notably, it also gives the Federal Reserve significant control, allowing it to block 93 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:49,920 entities from issuing stablecoins with a two-thirds majority vote from its board of governors. 94 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:55,040 However, concerns about the bill's lack of anti-money laundering measures could pose 95 00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,680 hurdles, highlighting the delicate balance policymakers must strike between innovation 96 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,760 and security in the evolving crypto space. 97 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:10,320 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $64,000. 98 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,400 Ethereum is $3,100. 99 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:19,080 And Solana is $146. 100 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,480 Moving on to a more local vibe. 101 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,400 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 102 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,560 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 103 00:08:32,560 -->

tell them, Sunny Morning sent you by. 110 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,000 And now, back to the show. 111 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,880 Let's talk science. 112 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,640 New research highlights an intriguing aspect of how our brains perceive time. 113 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,040 According to a study published in Nature Human Behavior, more memorable images seem to make 114 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,240 time appear longer, enhancing their memorability further. 115 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,480 This phenomenon suggests a possible adaptive function of the brain, allowing it to process 116 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,080 and retain more information by manipulating our perception of time. 117 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,720 The study's findings could have significant implications for understanding how memory 118 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,760 and perception are linked, and might lead to more effective ways of enhancing memory 119 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,760 retention. 120 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:55,320 And in entertainment news. 121 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,400 The sequel, 28 Years Later, is generating significant buzz with the announcement of 122 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:06,600 its cast, including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes under the direction of 123 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,760 Danny Boyle. 124 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:15,480 Boyle reunites with screenwriter Alex Garland to continue their seminal work from the 2002 125 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,420 film 28, Days Later. 126 00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:24,000 The upcoming film, which seeks to extend the narrative into a trilogy, promises to delve 127 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,160 deeper into the post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. 128 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:35,000 With the original film's star, Killian Murphy, involved as an executive producer and a strong 129 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,720 production team, expectations are high for this sequel to recapture and expand upon the 130 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,680 original's groundbreaking impact on the zombie genre. 131 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:50,200 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 132 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:56,840 And today, our quote comes from the actor, singer, and businessman, Jimmy Dean. 133 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,800 And the successful sausage maker said, 134 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:06,720 I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach 135 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,720 my destination. 136 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,320 And that's a wrap for this morning. 137 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:18,500 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 138 00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:20,880 with
