It is all relative, depends on how inland or close to the shore you were. I lived in Mira Mesa, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Carlsbad. 55- 65, BRIEFLY during winter days, and only hitting those 70's near the water in summer, hotter otherwise. San Diego weather is not all that. June gloom is in all but July - October, meaning that it is cloudy almost all the time, except for about 10:30 - 2:30 when it clears out. Tourists would come and say "I guess I got some weird weather, it has been freezing and overcast all week, but the sun came out a few times and THEN it was nice for a few hours." Nope, that is San Diego weather, chum, you found the normal, not the odd. You got more 'California' weather if you were 10 miles inland, but it was still cold in the winter, and no fucking way you are averaging 66 as a high in January near the coast. Overall, the weather is not super crappy or anything, it just isn't as advertised. LA has warmer, better weather in my opinion, as I would rather have 90 than 50 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Diego does get more fog and cooler temps than where I’m at about 60 miles to the North. Fog is a thing down there where not so much up here. Our microclimates do take some getting used to. I work in the foothills about 25 miles inland and it’s noticeably hotter (+\- 10 degrees) and drier than where I live. But the weatherheads will say 70 degrees in OC and it will range from 60 - 80 depending on where you live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTR, I spend no time in San Diego. I do spend time between LA and SD, and the weather does seem to start cool (cooler than expected) but rises to a very nice "relax outside in shorts" temp most times I am there (rarely in summer time).

True but unusual in that other parts of coastal CA do not get the fog that San Diego & San Fran gets. Maybe the large harbors does something to influence the fog. I live 5 miles from the ocean and we rarely get socked in like they do. We do get the marine layer that covers us like a cool damp blanket tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted May 1, 2020 Share #28 Posted May 1, 2020 FWIW it's 86 and breezy this afternoon. I had a headwind all the way into work this morning. The wind shifted.

We don't have a working air conditioner in our house either, just a whole house fan.

Thing I disliked most was how warm my water got during the ride. Insulated bottles are great! I will usually fill them about half full of water then leave them in the freezer tilted 30-45 degrees. I fill with water just before I ride. That will get me 30-50 miles depending on the heat. By then, I have usually found a convenience store where I will pay for soda but fill with ice and water. Or. Will pull out the Camelbak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

az_cyclist Posted May 2, 2020 Share #45 Posted May 2, 2020 75 - 90 is perfect in the AZ desert. 95 is not bad, but I start to dial back the activity then. 75-96 was the temp range for the 79 mile ride I took on Thursday morning. I was feeling it the last few miles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
