From San Diego to Santa Barbara and up to San Francisco, California delivers a buffet of excellent weather. The south and central California coast features a mild Mediterranean climate, meaning warm temperatures, mild winters and dry weather with abundant sunshine.
Places like Santa Maria and Long Beach enjoy consistent temperatures and low humidity. Inland, the desert climate in spots like Palm Springs brings hot weather with virtually no rainfall.
California’s coastal cities in particular have remarkably mild climates year-round, with no month’s average high temperature falling below the mid-60s F (high teens in Celsius).
