First off, it rarely snows in the area, though there can be some pretty strong rains in the winter. But, between those rainstorms, long sunny days. The summers are often dry but mild due to the ocean breezes coming in off the coast. The summer is known for its foggy nights and mild sunny days. I'm originally from Florida and while I'm used to rain and hot sunny days - the weather in Florida is sunny, hot and humid, while in California, it's sunny, dry and mild, not so hot. I enjoyed the change in the weather from Florida to California, both coastal states, but a huge difference in temperature and climate based on the ocean circuit. Californias weather is more "mediterranean" in comparison to Floridas subtropics.
