Weather/Clothing (living in, safe, required)

[ogplife]

I will be visiting OC from Feb 22-28. I see the weather report for OC is currently highs of about 70 and lows of about 50 and much of the same for the week I will be there (although I don't believe in weather reports past 3 days). I am from the Northeast. That is jacket and jeans (long pants) weather generally, but I know that it could feel different in different parts of the country. What does the weather feel like during this time of the year. What is the "average" adult wearing?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Jeans are fine but many people wear shorts even when its cooler. Bring a light jacket for the evening.

I'm originally from Chicago. Short sleeved shirts are fine during the day, too. Humidity can be moderate in early morning and sometimes falls to the single digits or mid teens by afternoon. You may find yourself warm in the sunshine and considerably cooler as you step into shade. I've seen people wearing hoodies early morning or after sunset, also. It can get chilly after sunset but not cold as you know it.

Bring a light (rain) jacket and a sweatshirt and you will be fine

If you want to seem like a local, complain endlessly about how freezing it is when it's 65° outside.

Took me about 7 years to get into that mode

While wearing shorts, flip flops, and a hoodie.

Ha ha ha. That's how I was when I lived in Scottsdale, AZ. When your blood thins, 65 degrees feels COLD!!!!!!!!

You can bring jeans and tee shirts for this kind of weather. Its always a safe bet. A light jacket, as mentioned above is required. Temperature in the day would be Highs 64 to 69 near the coast to 69 to 74 inland Highs and at night Lows 46 to 53.

yes, living in Az will definately thin your blood, when I went to HB I thought I was going to die freezing and it was 68 outside. Young girls walking around in bikinis, I stayed ther for a total of 6 months, never could get use to the temps.
