San Diego's Weather, Climate, and Surf
May Arrives Early

At 3:20pm, it's 67 degrees and mostly sunny in San Diego.

We had our first taste of "May Gray" in San Diego today. The fog has struggled to dissipate from the immediate coast, but interior areas were generally sunny from about mid-morning. I've attached a photo I took this afternoon from my doorway facing east, showing a clear blue sky. To the west, by contrast, the sky was bright but still overcast.

The temperature started off in the mid 50s early this morning, but warmed into the mid 60s by the afternoon. April has been cooler than average in San Diego thus far, with high temperatures well below the upper 60s to 70 degrees typical of the month. We've also had our share of late-season rain, which is always a good thing. Now it appears we might be heading into the May Gray period, where a thick marine layer dominates at the coast.

More Sun; El Nino?

At 11:00am in San Diego, it's 63 degrees and mostly sunny.The weather icons around here are tricky -- residents know that often when the weather websites indicate that it's "cloudy" in San Diego, it's really more sunny than cloudy. A few whisps of fog or tendrils of cloud in the valleys in the morning really do not, on the whole, leave a person on the ground with a sense of "cloudiness" when the sun is shining -- and that is essentially the circumstance now.

Cold and windy, then warming

At 6:40am in Bay Park, San Diego, it's clear and 48 degrees -- the coldest it's been so far this season.Yesterday we had a windstorm blowing in from the north; the wind scoured dust clouds off of Fiesta Island and the other Mission Bay islands and enveloped the 5 Freeway in dust. On the other hand, it was bright and clear, and the humidity was well below 20% for much of the day; high temperatures reached only into the upper 60s.Today we're looking for a calmer day, ...

Today in my neighborhood, we've had the pleasure of bright sun and a moderate breeze, although it's hazy on the horizon. We're looking at a warmer day tomorrow -- it should be nearly 80 degrees along the coast. After that, we'll have cooler, cloudier weather.October is one of the sunniest months in Southern California, but we're in the middle of the transition into our wint...

And the fake

At 9:05am in San Diego, it's 69 degrees and mostly cloudy.Just kidding on that rainstorm, huh? While Northern and Central California got inches of sweet, sweet rain, we got nothing -- hardly one single drop, nothing more than a trace. Even LA got in on the action, with some significant rainfall in the basin and certainly some measurable rain at LAX.According to the weather gurus, the position of the jet stream just to the north of us inhibited the significant transi...
