Kristan Lund, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, attributed the phenomenon to the high clouds we got from residual moisture from Tropical System Jova that just passed through. Typically, she said, because the marine layer clouds tend to be lower, we can’t see the sun disappearing into the horizon well.
“But with the high clouds, the sun is really able to reflect off the top of them and give really beautiful colors,” Lund said.So is this going to be a regular occurrence in SoCal? Lund said no, since the tropical system has moved out of the area, adding that with winter around the corner , it’s “a lot less likely” to happen again.
While we wait for tropical systems to bring us an Insta-worthy sunset again, enjoy these pictures taken by our staff:Pink sunset captured on Monday, Sept. 11, 2023 by LAist Executive Editor Megan Garvey.
