About San Diego Weather
Most residents of San Diego consider the climate close to perfect. Indeed, Holiday Magazine even voted San Diego “the only area in the United States with perfect weather.” The weather is tempered by the Pacific Ocean, which results in relatively cool summers and warm winters. Temperatures below freezing are rare, while hot weather, 90 degrees and above, are more frequent. Winter is considered the rainy season; however, each winter month averages 1.5 inches of rainfall, not exactly a deluge.
San Diego’s weather patterns are affected by the “Marine Layer”, a giant layer of air in direct contact with ocean water. This moist, cool air covers coastal San Diego County at night and recedes during the day, resulting in foggy or hazy mornings that usually burn off by mid-morning.
Santa Ana winds are another local weather phenomenon. Driven down from the mountains to the east, Santa Anas compress as they descend to sea level, generating heat and high temperatures. Santa Anas generally occur in September and October, sometimes in November. The temperature often exceeds 90 degrees during these months. However, the heat is offset by very low humidity, which often drops below 20 percent.
Just about every day is pleasant in San Diego, and its residents golf, swim, surf, play tennis, hike, bicycle, rollerblade, and do every other outdoor activity imaginable under a canopy of sun and warmth year-round.
