I was recently in Temecula this past weekend. It's a little more inland than Tustin, but the temperature was in excess of 100F. When I left Tustin it was not this hot. I would like to plan more trips in the future. Is it normally this hot the further you move in, or did it just happen to be this one day ?

Yes, the Inland Empire is usually a good 8-10 degrees warmer than OC

Since air is heated by land and water, and water heats and cools more slowly than land, inland areas generally have a larger temperature range, being colder in the winter and hotter in the summer, whereas the coast tends to be more moderate in comparison. So, yes, the Inland Empire does tend to be hotter than the coast in summer, and this is also a general rule of geography.

Like others mentioned, when a ranges of hills and mountains, block ocean breezes, temperatures like others have mentioned, will be 5-10 degrees warmer. There's a reason why coastal living is more expensive than inland valley living.

But the humidity is lower and the air is less corrosive than the salt air along the coast.

You can see a wide temperature swing in just a few miles inland, even within the same city. I would ride my bike from Palomar Airport to PCH, only about 3 miles, and sometimes the temps would drop 10 degrees.

OMG I'm with Telemutt on this one. What a freakin surprise!

I really seriously doubt that the air is more corrosive near the ocean, but I'll let the laws of physics speak to that.

I figured it would be more dramatic if it were in Palm Springs. Temecula is not that far inland.
