loved this...a review i read...well, duh!... San Diego, California San Diego is sometimes considered Americas Finest City. What we can’t understand is how this city doesn’t make it on every Top Ten list of any kind. San Diego has it all in every direction, sunshine (and lots of it), activities, arts, miles of warm, sandy beaches; there is no end. The climate in San Diego depends on exactly where you are at in the city. The north area has a Mediterranean climate and there is a definite semi-arid climate to the south and east. Due to the numerous hills, mountains, and canyons (paired with the size of this huge city) the climate often varies significantly over short geographical distances. Commonly during the May Gray/June Gloom period, thick, low-lying clouds (marine layer), keeps the air damp and cool for roughly five miles inland, with sudden clear blue skies and sometime as much as a twenty degree temperature increase just past the fog. This cloud cover usually burns off by early afternoon only to roll back in again by early evening. Inland areas tend to experience much more variation in temperatures. For instance San Diego’s (downtown) average high temperature is 76.9 degrees while the El Cajon Valley’s high average temperature is 70.8 degrees – and it lies 10 miles to the northeast. On hot, summer days the nearby valleys often reach into the low 100s, while downtown San Diego seldom reaches into the 90s. Only 10.8 inches of annual rainfall and only 42.9 days rainy weather, (most of the rainy days December through April) giving you well over 300+ day of Southern California sunshine! Winters are very mild in San Diego with average high temperatures of 66-70 degrees and lows of 50–56 degrees. San Diego is only a two drive from downtown L.A., beautiful Temecula wine country is an hour away and San Diegos (6,000 feet elevation) Laguna Mountains are here for sun lovers to enjoy. Within an eight-hour drive is Phoenix, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe. Breathtaking famous beach communities abound such as La Jolla, Del Mar and Coronado Island (home of the Hotel Del Coronado). Spectacular attractions such as the world famous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, San Diegos Wild Animal Park and at least eight southern California beaches are some of your outdoor options here. Sporting events range from the San Diego Chargers and the Padres, to San Diego State University’s sporting events. Balboa Park, the entertaining Gas Lamp District, Sea Port Village, whale watching excursions, dinner cruises or a jazz concert on the Bay and world-class golf are still more fun in the sun activities to be enjoyed here almost year round. The beautiful, temperate weather, breathtaking coastal topography, endless outdoor activities and some of the greatest beaches to suntan - what on Earth could be better? Always keep in mind that outdoor activities commonly require extended time in the direct or shaded sunshine. Please always remember to soak up your Vitamin D and then protect yourself. It’s never good to sunburn! Higher altitudes, water activities, excessive sweating and extended time in the sun may require higher SPF sunscreen, additional applications, sunglasses and even UV protective hats and other clothing. doesnt get much better than this...
