From November 1st-April 1st, does Orange County, specifically the Santa Ana/Irvine area, have better winter weather than the Phoenix/Scottsdale area? Which region is warmer, drier, and sunnier in the winter?
I think Phoenix is sunnier in winter. However, coastal SoCal is warmer in the winter, but not by much. The ocean's influence and marine layer keeps Orange County warmer, especially at night.
