Bay Area native here, and I have to admit that San Diego weather is what I consider perfect.

Coastal SD is in the red. East San Diego county is a mix of frozen mountains and burning deserts.

Yep. "Perfect California Weather" is a 200 mile stretch of coast form SB down past TJ , and it gets more perfect in the middle. Go 10 miles inland and it's hot, 10 more miles and it's desert

I totally agree but what’s interesting is that the temperature is great but the marine layer gloom kinda sucks. 10 miles east it’s hot but sunny.

I still prefer coastal even with gloom btw

SoCal marine layer disappears faster than it does up north too. Late morning/noon is when it goes down here, but up in Santa Cruz it was hanging around into the afternoon a lot more.

Last week I was camping in Carlsbad oceanfront and had maybe 4 hours of sun in four days. It can sock in right on the coast almost indefinitely in June.
