Why does San Diego have very cool summer highs for its latitude and elevation?

Because of the cold ocean currents, Morocco experiences a similar effect.

2018 was their hottest July in over 10 years. Not sure how 2019 was, but Sandy Eggo certainly does not always enjoy "very cool" summer highs. |

It's probably in reference to the average. The "cold epoch" is now in session. |

Cold epoch?
Right, average highs historically for San Diego in summer are in the 70's. I wouldn't characterize that as "very cool"-perhaps for its latitude- but it's a nice temperature. |

Cold waters relative to the latitude. If those waters were warmer, you'd be seeing a climate more like the Gulf coast.

Atmospheric circulation over San Diego would still be oceanic rather than continental, so I doubt it would be like the Gulf Coast. (West coast vs. eastern climate.) |

Not even "very cool" winter highs.
One time I was there in November, and the weather was in the high 60's to mid 70's. Another time I was there in January, and it was in the 80's. |

Could you explain what you mean by atmospheric circulation? Wouldn't warmer water both heat and humidify the surrounding land, as the Gulf Coast (and elsewhere on the east coast) experiences? The California current runs cold water down the coast, thereby moderating its climate (cooler, drier) more noticeably than any of the eastern US coastline. At least that's my understanding of it - correct me if I'm wrong. |
