I was stationed as an air traffic controller at Navy El Centro for 2 years, we had no weather.
Visibility would be over 100 miles on good days.
Spring time the wind would be at 25 knots right down the runway where they practiced FCLPs (Field carrier landing practice).
That and the winter home of the Blue Angels, the small town of Seeley and perhaps the worst polluted river in California, the New River.
New River California pollution
The New River, which runs from Mexicali, Mexico to Calexico in the United States and empties into the Salton Sea, is bringing sewage, industrial chemicals and trash across the border. Air pollution from factories in Baja California's capital is also impacting the health of residents on both sides of the border.
