Southern California, world famous for its warm, sunny climate, is also known for exhibiting a wide range of climatic variety. When you have subarctic ocean currents sweeping down the coast and one of the hottest deserts in the world further inland... anything can happen!
How would you rank these five representative climates?
These show Newport Beach to be much cooler in the summer. Along the California coast, I think distance from ocean makes more of a difference than any other factor.

No stats for Palm Springs? I assume very hot, anyway.
Downtown LA
Newport Beach
Mojave
Santa Barbara
Palm Springs
I don't like the 'summerless' coast...even the height of summer in coastal SoCal does not have what I would consider proper beach weather. Even as far south as Santa Monica the average July high is a mere 21C(71F).
