California – A clear, quiet morning settles over San Diego as cool air hugs the coastline and neighborhoods wake under calm skies. Breath feels sharp before sunrise, but that chill fades quickly once the sun climbs.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures rise steadily today with increasing clouds early, then brighter breaks by afternoon. Highs reach the low 70s across downtown, Mission Valley, and inland suburbs. Light north winds may gust briefly, though travel impacts remain minimal.
By Wednesday, winter loosens its grip. Skies turn partly sunny, and highs push near 69 degrees. Nights stay cool, dropping into the upper 40s and low 50s. That contrast sets up crisp mornings followed by comfortable afternoons, ideal for outdoor plans.
The warmest stretch arrives Thursday into Friday. Sunshine dominates, and highs climb into the mid to upper 70s, especially inland from the coast. Beach communities stay slightly cooler, yet still mild for late January. For now, no rain interrupts the pattern, and visibility remains excellent for drivers and aviation.
Residents should remain mindful of seasonal hazards. Cool nights followed by warm days can create slick spots early on shaded roads, especially after morning dew. Give yourself extra braking distance before sunrise.
Looking ahead, NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook suggests near-normal precipitation and above-normal temperatures across Southern California into early February. That supports continued dry weather, with winter storms staying north for now.
Enjoy the stretch of calm conditions, plan activities earlier or later in the day, and keep light layers handy for cool evenings. Does your neighborhood still feel like winter at sunrise, or has the warmth already taken over?
