The Montecito Data Reporting Station is located at 1,500 feet in the foothills above Montecito.
Latitude 34.4600, Longitude -119.6430
There is a gap in the ridge line above Montecito, so MTC will experience more
drainage wind from the north than other locations that are more protected.
If you are concerned about potential north drainage wind, check the MTC
observation.
Note: when there is north drainage wind, the station seems to report very high
wind speeds. Not sure these speeds are accurate. The tend to be
higher than anything else around. They will typically indicate 40 when La
Cumbre is only indicating 25.
