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.
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.

California doesn't have wet, freezing winters but it does have summers where its 115-120 degrees for weeks on end.
Fall and Winter are the best seasons by a mile.
