Thousand Oaks weather (Oxnard, Orange, Simi Valley: hotel, house, college)

[JasonBryce]

Help please. Although I have researched many external weather sites and reviewed threads on City Data I just get more confused about T Oaks weather the more I read (due to micro climates). We love warm weather and would like a pool we could use 6 months+ of year - is T Oaks weather warm enough for this or do we need to be more inland. A general description of annual weather in T Oaks would be really appreciated and anything to note in surrounding areas.

Yes, it is fine for a pool.

The closest accurate weather stations are Woodland Hills (Pierce College) and Van Nuys Airport.

Thousand Oaks is probably a five to seven degrees cooler in summer than Woodland Hills.

Not much fog or sea haze compared to Malibu, Santa Monica, the South Bay, coastal Orange County, Oxnard, Ventura, or Camarillo.

Temperatures are about the same as Simi.

Charles is correct about general lack of marine environment, but I find Simi is almost always a few degrees hotter than T.O. usually is. There is really not more "inland" hotter areas of Ventura County. Areas like Santa Paula or Fillmore are closer to the ocean than one would think due to the geography. Ojai is probably the exception.

If you want a pool, seriously consider a solar heating system or at least a solar cover. If the pool is deep, it will not warm up enough without feeling chilly, at least by hotel-type temperature standards. At least, that was the situation with mine.

It's been very warm here for most months in the past year, so a pool is a great choice for the area. We get some marine layer in spring sometimes, which burns off by mid-morning.

It depends on where you live in Thousand Oaks because when I drive around the area it can vary almost 10 degrees. If you are closer to Newbury it gets cooler and on the border of Simi warmer. When ever though I look online for the temp of TO it is much cooler then the temp I get in my car and it is usually accurate. I don't know if it is true but someone told me they take the temp from an area that is cooler.
There is plenty of time with temps being high for the pool. The temps last year I saw many days of 90 or 100. I think the average high is 90 in the summer months if I recall? Also though there is not humidity like many other states it still feels hot and lacks cloud cover which you do get in other states more then in CA in my opinion

The weather in T.O. is perfect for a pool. We used ours for five months out of the year. The hot tub was part of the system so we used that all during the winter. T.O. is a great place to live, even if it's a bit crowded.

Crowded? If 128K people is "crowded" to you. Since it's by far single-family homes, I think it's actually the opposite.

Oh. Weatherwise today around 90, but a nice breeze blowing.

My mother has a pool at her house in Thousand Oaks for the past 27 years. Gets plenty of use, and like another poster has mentioned, uses the jacuzzi during the winter months also.
