1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 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 --> 00:00:54,560 Sounds like my first marriage. 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,560 Hey-o! 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,360 So now you know. 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,200 And now you know what time it is. 16 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,200 It's time for the surf report. 17 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:13,280 Expect a blend of northwest swells through Thursday, adding modest wind swell by afternoon. 18 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,620 Cleaner conditions shift to onshore by midday. 19 00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:24,340 Surf potential improves Friday with new northwest swell, with chest-to-head highways and possibly 20 00:01:24,340 --> 00:01:28,240 overhead at winter focal points. 21 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,400 Weekend mornings may offer better wind conditions as swell fades. 22 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:39,120 The South Pacific remains quiet, with a potential small pulse mid-next week, possibly trending 23 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,560 fun by the weekend. 24 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,000 Wednesday in Encinitas, and in North County, it's looking good and clean at one to two 25 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,840 feet until ten, then fair until three. 26 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,280 After that, it's choppy, windy and blown out. 27 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,400 Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a three-foot outgoing tide when the north-northwest swell 28 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,120 is one foot at 14 seconds and no wind. 29 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,480 The first high tide Wednesday will be four and a half feet at 5 a.m. with a zero-foot 30 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,080 low tide just before noon 30. 31 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:26,040 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 59 degrees for the water temperature. 32 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,760 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area. 33 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,760 This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 52 degrees, with two mile per hour wind. 34 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,080 The sunset will take place at 710 and it will rise again tomorrow at 631. 35 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,360 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. 36 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:55,160 Otherwise, partly sunny with a high near 63 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour in the morning. 37 00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:01,760 Tonight, mostly cloudy with a low of 54. 38 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,000 Looking ahead in the weather. 39 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,080 Thursday expect cloudy skies with a high near 58 and wind at 5 to 15 mile per hour. 40 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,880 There's a 30 percent chance of rain after 11 p.m. with lows around 50. 41 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:23,160 Friday's forecast includes a 60 percent chance of rain with showers likely and a possible 42 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:30,760 thunderstorm after 11 a.m. leading to highs near 53 and lows around 49 at night. 43 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,240 The weekend brightens up with sunny skies on Saturday. 44 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:41,520 Sunday will be mostly sunny with highs near 58 and lows around 52. 45 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,680 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 46 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,280 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 47 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:56,780 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 48 00:03:56,780 --> 00:03:59,560 for culinary delights. 49 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:05,120 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 50 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,880 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 51 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,880 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 52 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,320 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 53 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,640 Sunny mornings send you. 54 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:27,000 In local news, San Diego has reported its second measles case this year involving a 55 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,600 47-year-old who had traveled overseas and is now hospitalized. 56 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:38,720 There's officials warned of potential exposure in Encinitas and Carlsbad at places like Naked 57 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,240 Cafe and Ralph's Market. 58 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,400 Efforts are underway to identify and follow up with exposed individuals. 59 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,880 The first case involved a one-year-old, also a traveler, but the cases seem unrelated. 60 00:04:53,880 --> 00:05:00,800 Amid a national rise in measles, the CDC emphasizes vaccination, especially for children, noting 61 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,080 the disease's high contagion rate. 62 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:11,440 This year, 97 cases have been reported across 18 states, with a significant number in unvaccinated 63 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:19,640 or partially vaccinated individuals. 64 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680 Now on to sports. 65 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,760 Ronald Blanco, at 30 years old, achieved a historic milestone by pitching the earliest 66 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,200 no-hitter in Major League Baseball history, leading the Houston Astros to a 10-0 win against 67 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,940 the Toronto Blue Jays. 68 00:05:36,940 --> 00:05:43,560 This remarkable feat occurred on April Fool's Day, surpassing Hideo Nomo's 2001 record 69 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,320 by three days. 70 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:52,180 Blanco, who first entered the Major Leagues at 28, filled in for injured ace Justin Verlander 71 00:05:52,180 --> 00:05:56,600 and demonstrated his skill with a standout change-up. 72 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,920 This performance not only marked the 17th no-hitter in Astros history, but also highlighted 73 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:08,600 an extraordinary week for Blanco, which included witnessing the birth of his second child. 74 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,320 Have a day, big guy! 75 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:26,960 Last night in local sports. 76 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:54,440 In top news, Tesla experienced its first annual sales drop since the pandemic began, with 77 00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,160 deliveries falling by 100,000 from the previous quarter. 78 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,600 This decrease reflects the growing competition in the electric vehicle market, notably from 79 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:11,500 Chinese and Western manufacturers. Despite efforts to maintain profitability through 80 00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:17,280 price cuts, Tesla's profit margins and stock value have been impacted. 81 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,920 The company cited challenges, including production adjustments and external disruptions, but 82 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:29,240 the broader issue remains the intensifying competition, especially from BYD, which briefly 83 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,200 surpassed Tesla in EV sales. 84 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,240 Despite these setbacks, Tesla reclaimed its title from BYD, which saw a more significant 85 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,800 sales drop. 86 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,480 Meanwhile, traditional automakers are advancing in the EV space, introducing new models and 87 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:53,700 capturing market share, further pressuring Tesla's dominance. 88 00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:56,080 In business news. 89 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,400 Over the past three years, China and Hong Kong's stock markets have experienced a 90 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:08,120 staggering $5 trillion drop in market capitalization, surpassing the entire value of the Indian 91 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,640 stock market, as reported by HSBC. 92 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,480 This significant decline contrasts sharply with the performance of Indian stocks, which 93 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:23,840 have seen robust growth and optimism, further highlighted by India hosting the most IPOs 94 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,080 in 2023. 95 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,240 The National Stock Exchange of India has notably ascended to become the world's fourth largest 96 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,360 stock exchange, underscoring the country's growing financial influence. 97 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,480 Conversely, China's economic challenges, particularly in its real estate sector, and 98 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:49,220 skepticism around meeting its growth targets, have contributed to the downturn in its markets. 99 00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:56,040 This dynamic shift emphasizes India's rising prominence in the global investment landscape. 100 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:02,280 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just above $66,000. 101 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,680 Ethereum is at $3,300. 102 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:11,600 And Solana is $188. 103 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,960 Moving on to a more local vibe. 104 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,920 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 105 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,080 to bring you some free classes, so

--> 00:09:49,400 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 111 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,640 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 112 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,760 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 113 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,440 And now back to the show. 114 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,200 Let's talk science. 115 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:10,320 The Earth's rotation, which influences time measurement, is experiencing a complex interaction 116 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:16,720 between acceleration due to the planet's liquid outer core, and deceleration from global 117 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,440 warming effects on the polar ice caps. 118 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:26,240 This dynamic has postponed the potential need to remove a leap second until around 2028 119 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,640 or 2029, a measure considered due to the Earth's speeding rotation. 120 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:38,200 Historically, the Earth's rotation has slowed, with days lengthening over billions of years. 121 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:44,600 However, recent trends suggest a leap second might need to be subtracted to adjust for 122 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,280 this acceleration. 123 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:52,400 Acceleration change by melting polar ice and redistributing mass is slowing the rotation 124 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,560 of the Earth slightly, delaying this unprecedented adjustment. 125 00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:03,920 Leap seconds have been added since 1972 to synchronize atomic time and Earth's rotational 126 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,920 time, but their future is uncertain, with plans to eliminate them by 2035. 127 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,200 And in entertainment news. 128 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,160 John Stewart revealed that Apple intervened to prevent Federal Trade Commission Chair 129 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:27,760 Lena Kahn from appearing on his Apple TV Plus show, The Problem with John Stewart, and discouraged 130 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,240 discussions on artificial intelligence. 131 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:36,720 This disclosure aligns with earlier reports of creative disagreements leading to the show's 132 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,800 cancellation, highlighting tensions over potential guests, and sensitive topics like China and 133 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,800 AI. 134 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,120 Stewart, who returned to The Daily Show, shared these insights during an interview with Kahn, 135 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,600 underscoring Apple's caution against content that might provoke controversy, especially 136 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,720 around topics like AI, which is poised to play a significant role in the company's 137 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,720 future product updates. 138 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:09,200 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 139 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,460 And today, our quote comes from John Stewart himself. 140 00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:15,480 The host of The Daily Show said, 141 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,600 If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values. 142 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,600 They're hobbies. 143 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,240 Shots fired John. 144 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,080 What a savage. 145 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,600 And that's a wrap for this morning. 146 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:36,680 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos, 147 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,000 with local news and the surf report. 148 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,040 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 149 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,560 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
