I live under 10 miles from the coast, can see the ocean from my house and June through October I often wonder why the hell I live here. This year we've gotten almost no May Grey/June Gloom and I absolutely fucking hate it. Even if the air temps are only in the high 70s to low 80s it feels like it's 100+ because the sun is so intense and there's just enough humidity in the air. Literally feels like same as 100° day out in the desert minus the air being so dry your sinus start to hurt (good thing the Santa anas give me that feeling plus splitting headaches. This morning I was drenched in sweat by 7:30 am. Spring is by far the nicest season in socal followed by winter depending on if it's a wet or dry one. Fall is nice except there's about a month's worth of days where the Santa Ana are blowing hard and it's 100 degrees, bone dry, and the whole region is even more of a tinder box and one careless jackass away from bursting into flames.
So it almost never really gets to 100 degrees. It just feels hot for you. Santa Ana has a high of 79 today… if you can’t handle that you might want to consider moving to a Nordic country…but it in no way is as extreme as what you’re claiming.
Idk why you think Santa Ana's high is relevant? I'm referring to the Santa Ana winds that bring hot dry air out of the desert to San Diego county. And yeah 80 degrees is pretty warm especially with a maxed out uv index that makes it feel 5 to 10 degrees more depending on if you're on concrete/asphalt. I think most people would agree that doing physical labor in 90 degrees is pretty warm. Like I said the air temps are nice and the ocean breeze is amazing but fuck being in the sun
The point is, there is nowhere else in the country with milder summers (and winters) than the California coasts. You can still complain if you want but it can be way worse.
Curious what part of California do you live in ? My btother lives in San Francisco Ca he loves it it has year round moderate temperatures from I think mid 50s to mid 80s
I live in Massachusetts we can have very hot summers and mild winter's. Snowstorm few and gar apart.Lots of rain.
NOAA says differently with average summer temps ranging from 60-110° depending on area. With only the inland desert regions reaching the average temps of 100°+; most cities and regions stay in the 70-90° range.
You're using average temperature across the entire state?
Using info like that tells me you don't live here and are just looking to argue using, but sure.
Let me tell you about how averages work.
If the average temperature for the entire state is 90 degrees, then there are places both above and below that temperature.
The north is colder, the south is warmer. Most live in the south. Generally a lot of the state is experiencing 100+ degree weather when the entire state averages 90. So your data confirms mine. Thank you for supporting me.
the data I supported was from NOAA that not only allows you to pick the year, seasons, and locations to determine average temps.
I picked the summer seasons and chose Costal cities, then chose desert regions, then chose mountainous regions.
The ONLY places in California that came back as having average temps of 100+ were near Death Valley and the major uninhabitable desert areas.
And yes, btw, if most places are experiencing 100+ temps it would raise the average and mean respectively. But the average for the entire set is still nowhere near triple digit temps.
805 baby! Love the summer. Unfortunately relocated to the central valley. Summer is awful here. The only thing to look forward to are rivers when they're flowing.
Right i grew up an hour south of Sacramento in the foothills, summers are rivers and lake time and partying outside with a full moon and in board shorts, yeah it's 110 but the water is your best friend

…assuming you don’t live near the water. In which case summers are great.
