Re: Sun Setting in the South???
We've lived in this house now for almost 9 yrs. The backyard faces west and we are high in the canyons. The Sun has never been this south, ever. I had to strain my neck and head to see any kind of a sunset which is a first. It is more south, then a true southwest.

Re: Sun Setting in the South???
Gotta love it.

I personally don't pay that much attention to where the sun sets, so they could pull one over on me. But it seems appropriately south for this time of year to me.

Here is a Webcam shot from Santa Monica, CA (west Coast)

The camera faces South, and the street going lower left to Upper Right is Colorado Ave/Santa Monica Pier, and the cross street is Ocean Blvd.

I created a KMZ file from google earth showing the same orientation:

Definitely not setting in the west (directly west).

The camera has not updated for some reason, the image shown is from Jan 02, 2010.

Check the Nautical Almanac for declination and azimuth on this date/time for your latitude and longitude.
I didn't check today but the sun seemed fine...where it should be.

If it doesn't match...PANIC hiding

Here's what I think. I think the seasons will start to come faster now. So we're a month off now, making it effectively Feb. I bet in Feb we get march winds.. in March we get April showers....

Why would it? If it were setting directly west from Santa Monica this time of year, THEN there'd be something to be concerned about.
