Actually, it's more like 60 to 90 degrees.
San Diego basically has three seasons: Rainy, Fog and Fire. The rainy season usually starts about November and lasts through April. We get an average of ten inches of rain during the rainy season, but both last year and this year have produced less than the average amount of rainfall.
Fog Season, called May Gray or June Gloom, brings the marine layer off the coast into play and our skies are, well, gray and the weather stays cool.
Fire Season usually starts in late July or mid-August and lasts until the rains start. We usually get our hottest weather in September and October.
Not this year, though.
We had about a half inch of rain last week, but this week is starting out very hot; 100 degrees in El Cajon today. With major wildfires already appearing in other parts of Southern California, and no fog to be seen, it looks like we may have jumped directly into Fire Season. In May.
That's scary.

My friends in Camarillo lost their RV and their fence was singed. Thankfully their home was spared. I was astounded to see an AP photo of the fire reaching the beaches of the Pacific. Good grief!
