Local Seasons:
While summer may be slightly busier than the
other seasons in this most-desired California city, there are not any real “slow
seasons”. With perfect weather year round and a host of attractions, adventures
to be explored, as well as fine dining; any time of year is perfect for a
visit. The afternoon humidity virtually never gets over 67%, making the climate
ideal for any type of activity. Summer is the warmest time of the year yet the
temperature rarely goes above 80 F in the day and stays comfortably near 60 F at
night. And there really isn’t much of difference during the other three
seasons. Winters are mild with an average daily temperature near 60 F. Spring
and fall bring the averages into the 60’s F, making both day and night good
times to see the sites and enjoy the variety of entertainment available.
Whether for business or leisure, San Diego is waiting with warm sun and festive
nights.
