You got to admit.. Wondering if it is normal for it to be hot inland is a bit funny of a question.. Kinda like does the sun rise in the morning...
Regardless....
Here is a breakdown for you:

Winter= inland cooler/ coast warmer
Summer= inland warmer/coast cooler

Elevation gains generally mean cooler.

If the OP isn't originally from coastal CA, they may not be aware of the microclimates. In the Bay Area, these can be even more extreme. On a summer day, Half Moon Bay may have a high of 59 while Livermore may swelter at 101.

What's that old saying when it comes to the weather? "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." Personally, I think California has the best weather in the nation.

The temperature differences between many parts of Southern CA can be pretty crazy. You start at the coast and drive 1 hour inland.......you are basically going from mild weather to desert climates in many areas.

Well, you'd think the farther north you went, the cooler it would get. NOT in the central part of CA. Redding is frickin hot! People warned me, but it's godawful hot! Relentless. It was into 100+ degree days at the end of May.

It's because we're still in the central valley here. The heat just sits.

I have fallen in love with kayaking on Whiskey Town Lake, however. Get wet, and it's all good.

I'm from Indiana, so I'm not from here. We have the same summers except with 90% humidity.


Also, I'm still trying to also understand why I have to pay money when I purchase soda in cans, then have to go out of my way to get it back for my recyclables, but that's another story. Peculiar, yet greatly intriguing......................................

Like someone said, the hills block the ocean breezes. Cool air is heavier than warm air, so the cool ocean air can't get over hills/mountains easily.

Depends upon where you are. When I lived in Tupelo, the temp in the summer was 100+ and the humidity was 100, making life miserable. OTOH Ocean Springs and Gulfport might have been 90 in July, but the humidity was still up there.

As far as I know, regarding corrosive salt air along the coast, is that that's not the case from salty sea air. That corrosion of that sort is caused by salted roads in icy/snowy areas.

I've never heard of anyone living on the coast in CA having rust on their vehicles caused from salty sea air.
