Yep.

       Here's what the FAQ on the web page says about the weather sensors
at Long Marine Lab (just upwind (?) of Natural Bridges):

       "The weather information displayed with the Dream Inn imagery seem
much cooler and windier than what I would expect for the wharf area in
Santa Cruz? Why is this?

       As is stated, the weather information comes from a REINAS weather
station at Long Marine Lab, which is approximately 2.5 miles west of the
wharf area along West Cliff Drive. If you are familiar with the area, go
down West Cliff Drive to Natural Bridges and look across the beach to the
west at two large water towers. The towers are part of the Long Marine
Lab facility.

       Long Marine Lab is very much more exposed to the Pacific than the
wharf and as a result it is consistently cooler and windier than the
protected wharf beach areas near the Dream Inn."

       I guess the sensors may read slightly higher than what's on the
water, but it can't be that far off.

       I sent an e-mail to the webmaster this morning asking if the data
is displayed in real-time.
