Since the track of most hurricanes is well to the south of San Diego, and the cold California Current (normally sea temperatures are only in the upper 60's F off the CA coast) keeps ocean water significantly colder than in the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic (often sea temperatures over 82 F), tropical cyclones rarely impact San Diego. Most ...
The cooler ocean current along the west coast also makes summer temperatures cooler on the west coast compared to the east coast. For example, Half Moon Bay at 37°N has no month with an average high above 67 °F (19 °C) and San Francisco often stays below 70 °F (21 °C) in summer, while Virginia Beach, VA , close to the same latitude, has ...
Anomalies in sea surface temperature can be used to forecast the length and intensity of the June Gloom phenomenon in a given season. [2] Years with warmer ocean temperatures, referred to as El Niño, may result in fewer gray days in May and June. [6] Cooler ocean temperatures, associated with La Niña, usually foretell a more gray period.
East Los Angeles, the Gateway Cities, and parts of the San Gabriel Valley average the warmest winter high temps (72 °F, 22 °C) in all of the western U.S., and Santa Monica averages the warmest winter lows (52 °F, 11 °C) in all of the western U.S. Palm Springs, a city in the Coachella Valley, averages high/low/mean temperatures of 75 °F/50 ...
The Catalina eddy wind pattern, also called the "coastal eddy" or "marine layer," is a localized weather phenomenon that occurs in the Southern California Bight, the mostly concave portion of the Southern California coast running from Point Conception to San Diego.

The water temperature in the cove is sometimes cooler than in some other areas of San Diego's coastline because the cove faces out into much deeper, colder, water. The weather on land is typical of weather in La Jolla, where the temperature year-round seldom exceeds the 50 degrees to 90 degrees range. [5]
This year’s summer of record-breaking, extreme heat set another milestone Monday when a buoy in Manatee Bay just off the coast southwestern Florida registered an ocean temperature of 101.1 ...
