Reporter was determined to get rid of a nest of yellowjackets, but then i felt them stinging me, biting me. Reporter all over. They were very angry. Clearly i had not been successful. Reporter thats when i called the mosquito and Vector Control district, a state run agency thats seen a 63 increase in calls this year over last year for yellowjacket nests and wasps.

This time its staying at least five or six days. As it returns, it will compress that marine layer, wont be able to begin land, so less cloud cover near the water. We all get the afternoon sunshine. You lose your air conditioning with the marine layer not going inland. It will be warmer all throughout the bay area coming up the next several days, inland especially.
