The weather in San Diego tends to stay pretty consistent. Summers can be hot, so always bring a hat and sunscreen along for your trip. Summer evenings near the beach can get quite cool and damp, so a sweater and long pants are recommended. Winter months can be cool and wet or warm and sunny, so come prepared for anything.
Current San Diego Weather

Of all the cool things about San Diego, one thing you'll love is its warm weather, especially if you're visiting from a place where the weather isn't quite so...agreeable. San Diego weather patterns most closely resemble those of the Mediterranean, similar to the climate in Italy, Chile and Western Australia. From January through December, the weather in and around this area stays relatively the same, with only a few minor temperature changes. It is truly a tempered paradise.
Summer months in San Diego can get quite warm, so if you're planning a trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) are possible. The more inland you get from the San Diego beaches, the warmer it gets. If heat is a problem, consider visiting your favorite attractions earlier in the day, take a mid-afternoon break, then return to enjoy the cooler evening weather.
