I think the weather can be best explained with a small snippet of the area forecast discussion:
So yes, a short 400m above me the air is 35 degrees F hotter. Offshore wind here is means that temperatures will start increasing around midnight. That part isn't unusual in September -- the steep inversion and moist conditions at the surface are. The nearest weather station to me is what I'm feeling right now -- 67°. The next nearest is up the hill, at 94°. At 2:30 AM. Those nineties should be down to my level by midday tomorrow.
But at least it's calm. Don't worry, by tomorrow the wind will blow it all out and we'll have dry, windy fire weather conditions everywhere.

a brutal 104 degrees at 1400 ft will make for an extraordinarily
warm night. Min temps south of Pt Conception will mostly be 15 to
20 degrees above normal but the foothills (especially around 1400
ft elevations) will be up to 30 degrees above normal with some
lows remaining in the 90s.
