San Diego is ditching the morning gray and sliding into a sun-splashed today, with highs expected near 72°F. Inland neighborhoods will climb a few degrees warmer while the coast stays mild and breezy. It will still feel cool near the water early on, so a light layer is a smart move if you are heading out in the morning.
Afternoon Sunshine and Light Breeze
Sunny skies are on tap across the city this afternoon with west winds generally 0–10 mph and sea-breeze gusts around 10 mph. According to the National Weather Service San Diego, there is virtually no chance of rain through early next week, with coastal highs topping out near 72°F and inland valleys warming into the mid-70s.
Marine Layer Returns Tonight
The marine layer will rebuild near the beaches and western valleys tonight, bringing partly cloudy skies and a low near 59°F through tomorrow morning. Forecasters say the layer should return each night and morning through the coming week and may be low enough by early next week to produce patchy coastal fog during the pre-dawn commute.
Boaters and Commuters
Outer coastal waters could see northwest gusts approaching 20 knots this afternoon and evening; otherwise, no hazardous marine conditions or advisories are in effect. The National Weather Service San Diego recommends boaters be ready for stronger gusts off the immediate coast, while drivers near the shoreline should watch for brief low-visibility patches in the early mornings.
Looking Ahead
Temperatures are expected to hover a few degrees above seasonal averages through mid-next week with mostly sunny days and cool, marine-influenced mornings. No significant wet weather is expected for now, though forecasters note a late-week pattern change is uncertain and could cool the region by the following weekend.
