San Diego is serving up a classic combo today: plenty of sun, a bit of breeze, and a noticeable split between the coast and inland neighborhoods. Clear skies are helping inland spots climb into the upper 60s, while the shoreline stays cooler and more comfortable. Northwest winds are expected to pick up through the afternoon, especially as they funnel through canyon corridors.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Northwest breezes will strengthen this afternoon, with a high near 68°F and winds 0 to 15 mph, gusting to 25 mph. By tonight, conditions turn partly cloudy with a low around 57°F and lighter northwest winds. According to the National Weather Service San Diego, there are no watches or warnings in effect for San Diego County at the moment.
Warmup Peaks Monday
A dry, strengthening area of high pressure will keep nudging temperatures upward into next week, with the warmest stretch expected on Monday, May 11, 2026. Highs along the coast should land in the low 70s, while inland valleys and the Inland Empire rise into the 80s and 90s. Lower deserts could spike to around 105 to 110°F.
Coastal Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
Night and morning, low clouds are expected to return at times later this week, bringing pockets of patchy fog before about 11 AM on several mornings. The most likely window for reduced visibility is Friday night into Saturday morning. Afternoons should still break out into sunshine at the beaches, while inland areas continue their warming trend.
What To Know And Do
Consider securing loose outdoor gear and be mindful of gusty conditions this afternoon, particularly on exposed streets and bridges. If you are heading inland next Monday, May 11, plan for the heat: carry water, look for shade during the hottest part of the day, and check the forecast before committing to long drives.
