Not quite. San Diego has no humidity and absolutely NO rain during the summer.
I want to keep the humidity and the summer rain, but not the hurricanes/tornadoes.
San Diego has had bouts of SST in the mid to upper 70s for the past several summers and multiple days with dewpoints above 70F so I disagree that San Diego has "zero humidity". It definitely is more humid than the central valley. Most summers have little or no rain but in the summer of 2015, it had multiple instances of summer rain and just this past weekend we got an early fall cut off low that brought widespread thunderstorms to the San Diego region. Most summers do bring a few days where the desert SW monsoon brings a clouds and a bit of humidity to the coast: usually only the mountains get the thunderstorms but every once in a little moisture may make it to the coast.
How would you feel about the data from the year 2015 if the norm and not an anomaly?

I have lived in Orange County for many years. Yes, there is some monsoonal moisture, but compared to the Gulf, which regularly sees temps in the upper 90s with dew points of 80-82 degrees SoCal monsoonal humidity with dew points around 72, is nothing. Not to mention your glasses fog up when you step outside, especially during the night.
I mean hurricanes are bad and all, but unless you live right by the coast or in a flood plain, they probably won't destroy your house. And the heat and humidity will be gross either way, so I'd move it from a D to a D+ or C- maybe. Tornadoes aren't a big deal down there I don't think; it's more the inland parts of Gulf states that get bad tornadoes. I'm not too worried about EF0 or EF1 tornadoes, because a well-built house will survive that.
