California greets the morning with clear skies and cool air, but warmth builds quickly across San Diego. Early light glints off calm water near the harbor, and the chill fades fast once the sun climbs. By midday, winter layers feel heavy as temperatures surge well above normal.
According to the National Weather Service, San Diego starts near the low 50s this morning before climbing to around 80 today. Winds stay light, skies remain clear, and visibility holds strong across coastal and inland neighborhoods. The dry pattern keeps roads clear, but glare increases during the morning drive.
Across Mission Valley, La Mesa, and inland North County, sunshine dominates. Afternoon warmth peaks fast, especially away from the coast. Outdoor plans line up well, but hydration matters even in January. To be fair, the heat feels brief.
Saturday stays sunny and warm, with highs near the low 80s again. The shift arrives Sunday. Clouds increase, highs drop into the low 70s, and the air turns noticeably cooler by evening. That cooling trend carries into early February.
Drivers should watch shaded roadways during early mornings next week. Condensation can linger, and slick patches form before sunrise. While snow and ice remain a distant story locally, winter hazards still show up quietly along the coast.
By Monday and Tuesday, temperatures settle near the low 70s with cooler nights in the low to mid-50s. Skies turn partly cloudy at times, signaling a more typical winter pattern. Conditions stay calm, but timing outdoor plans earlier in the day may feel more comfortable.
