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 --> 00:00:11,600 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 --> 00:00:56,560 Faking south, southwest swell is still good for waist-to-stomach-high waves, at well-exposed 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,560 spots on Thursday and some occasional larger sets pushing chest-high for standouts in South 14 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,080 County. 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,480 Westerly onshore wind or dew all day, mainly light early morning, slowly rising through 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,320 midday, then getting moderate for most of the afternoon. 17 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,920 Surf tapers down Friday into the weekend with smaller southwest or south-southwest swell 18 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,000 in the mix. 19 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,760 Thursday in Encinitas and North County it's looking fair at 2 to 3 feet until 1. 20 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,160 After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset. 21 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:40,600 Best time to ride is at 9 a.m. with a 2-foot incoming tide when the west swell is 2 feet 22 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,400 at 14 seconds and the onshore wind is 4 mile per hour. 23 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,560 The first high tide Thursday will be 3 feet just after 11 a.m. with a 2-foot low tide 24 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,160 just before 4. 25 00:01:54,160 --> 00:02:03,040 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 61 degrees for the water temperature. 26 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,020 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area. 27 00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:14,080 This morning it's light rain and feels like 57 degrees with 6 mile per hour wind. 28 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,760 The sunset will take place at 726 and it will rise again tomorrow at 605. 29 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,620 It looks like we're in for a slight chance of showers before 11 a.m. 30 00:02:25,620 --> 00:02:31,800 It will be partly sunny with a high near 61 and wind of 10 mile per hour. 31 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Chance of precipitation is 20 percent. 32 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:43,440 Tonight a slight chance of showers after 11 p.m. with a low around 61. 33 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,860 Looking ahead in the weather. 34 00:02:45,860 --> 00:02:51,560 This weekend will be partly sunny with highs in the low to mid 60s. 35 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,960 Friday will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance of showers before 11 a.m. and a high 36 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,860 near 61. 37 00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:02,360 Wind could gust as high as 20 mile per hour. 38 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:09,400 Patchy fog is possible Sunday night followed by sunny skies and a high near 65 on Monday 39 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,360 after the fog clears. 40 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 41 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,800 This podcast is brought to you by

00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,120 Sunny mornings send you. 49 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,880 In local news, British Airways has doubled its daily flights from San Diego to London, 50 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,960 a route that's been in operation since 2011. 51 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,680 Over 2 million passengers have traveled this route with a 50 percent increase in demand 52 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,760 observed from 2019 to 2023. 53 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:17,280 The additional flight, operational until October 25th, caters to both business and leisure 54 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:24,120 travelers, enhancing connectivity and providing nonstop travel options across the Atlantic. 55 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:35,280 This expansion utilizes Boeing 777 and 787 aircraft. 56 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,000 Now on to sports. 57 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,440 Today, prepare for a whirlwind at the NFL Draft as the top 10 picks could usher in unexpected 58 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,760 moves mainly due to the unpredictable quarterback market and other key players. 59 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,760 Insights from coaches and executives suggest a high stakes evening with the Chicago Bears 60 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,480 likely leading off by selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams. 61 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,560 He's seen as a standout talent, suitable for a team in dire need of a franchise leader. 62 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,840 The subsequent picks are expected to be equally dynamic, with potential trades shaking up 63 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:19,080 the order as teams like the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots make strategic moves 64 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,760 to secure top talents. 65 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,440 The draft night is set to be a spectacle of strategic gambits, and we'll be back tomorrow 66 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,720 with the results. 67 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:38,280 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road beat the Rockies 5-2, and the Kings 68 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,640 on the road beat the Oilers 5-4 in game two. 69 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,440 The series is now tied. 70 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:53,080 Tonight, the Padres remain on the road in Colorado to take on the Rockies, and the Lakers, 71 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:59,280 down two games to none, are at home to play the Nuggets. 72 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:06,240 And top news, the U.S. Department of Transportation is implementing new regulations to enhance 73 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,360 consumer protection in air travel. 74 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,880 Announced by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, these rules mandate airlines to 75 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,620 fully disclose the total cost of flights before ticket purchase and ensure prompt cash refunds 76 00:06:20,620 --> 00:06:24,920 for cancellations or significant changes. 77 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,360 This initiative addresses the rising issue of surprise junk fees, aiming to make pricing 78 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,900 more transparent and reduce the hassle for consumers. 79 00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:39,520 The airline industry, however, has expressed concerns that these regulations could lead 80 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:46,040 to confusion, arguing that passengers generally do not need or want such detailed information 81 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,040 up front. 82 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,440 And at this point, they might be right. 83 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:56,720 After years and years of unethical price obfuscation, I probably would be confused when seeing an 84 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,920 honest and straightforward price. 85 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:09,040 In business news, in May, Congress is poised to potentially revolutionize the U.S. cryptocurrency 86 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:15,200 landscape with a stablecoin bill that aims to establish a new regulatory framework for 87 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,920 digital assets pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar. 88 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:27,120 This legislation, drafted by Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand, seeks to ban 89 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,720 algorithmic stablecoins and require stablecoin issuers to be either state-chartered trust 90 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,720 companies or banks. 91 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,920 Notably, it also gives the Federal Reserve significant control, allowing it to block 92 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:48,040 entities from issuing stablecoins with a two-thirds majority vote from its board of governors. 93 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,080 However, concerns about the bill's lack of anti-money laundering measures could pose 94 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,840 hurdles highlighting the delicate balance policymakers must strike between innovation 95 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,920 and security in the evolving crypto space. 96 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,440 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $64,000. 97 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,600 Ethereum is $3,100. 98 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,200 And Solana is $146. 99 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,640 Moving on to a more local vibe. 100 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:26,600 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 101 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,920 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 102 00:08:30,920 -->

tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 109 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,160 And now, back to the show. 110 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,040 Let's talk science. 111 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:15,520 New research highlights an intriguing aspect of how our brains perceive time. 112 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:21,200 According to a study published in Nature Human Behavior, more memorable images seem to make 113 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,400 time appear longer, enhancing their memorability further. 114 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,640 This phenomenon suggests a possible adaptive function of the brain, allowing it to process 115 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:37,240 and retain more information by manipulating our perception of time. 116 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,880 The study's findings could have significant implications for understanding how memory 117 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,960 and perception are linked, and might lead to more effective ways of enhancing memory 118 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,960 retention. 119 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:57,440 And in entertainment news, the sequel, 28 years later, is generating significant buzz 120 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,960 with the announcement of its cast, including Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph 121 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,920 Fiennes under the direction of Danny Boyle. 122 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:13,600 Boyle reunites with screenwriter Alex Garland to continue their seminal work from the 2002 123 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,560 film 28, Days Later. 124 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:22,120 The upcoming film, which seeks to extend the narrative into a trilogy, promises to delve 125 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:27,300 deeper into the post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. 126 00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:33,120 With the original film's star, Killian Murphy, involved as an executive producer and a strong 127 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,840 production team, expectations are high for this sequel to recapture and expand upon the 128 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,800 original's groundbreaking impact on the zombie genre. 129 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:48,320 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 130 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,960 And today, our quote comes from the actor, singer, and businessman, Jimmy Dean. 131 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,880 And the successful sausage maker said, 132 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:04,880 I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach 133 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,840 my destination. 134 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400 And that's a wrap for this morning. 135 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:16,320 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 136 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,960 with local news and the surf
