Meh, it's still cold even on the warm side of town.

This is just wrong. Average August low temperature (the warmest month) for San Diego Airport (1981-2010 normals) is 66.7. The airport is one of the warmer locales for nighttime lows.

The warmest low for the SD Airport this past August was 72, and this past August was warmer than average.

Just a couple weeks ago was visiting down in the Ventura area, and coming from NorCal, I couldn't believe how humid it was as soon as you got even a block or two inland from the beach and ocean breezes!

74 dp in 80 F weather is fine. the coastal areas here also saw those dewpoints.
I'm not saying the stations lied, I'm saying you're lying! From your own post:
Quote:
Monday, September 2, 2013 Moisture
Dew Point 71 °F
What the hell did you get 80? Also
Quote:
Sunday, August 30, 1998 Moisture
Dew Point 67 °F
And just so we are clear on what you were saying, let's recap:
Quote:
Torrance hit 70 F dp around 7 times this summer, even inland areas got 70F dp during last weeks heatwave and remnants of tropical storm in July. Torrance also got an 81 F dew point last year

Weather History for Torrance, CA | Weather Underground

although 80F+ dp is uncommon it has happened in other locations too

Weather History for Santa Ana, CA | Weather Underground

other times it has gotten close to 80F dp

Weather History for Riverside, CA | Weather Underground

note these are official stations
Now I agree with you that it gets more humid in Socal than most people are willing to admit. However you disputed your own claim with your own links that it gets anywhere near 80 as a dew point. Even normally humid places don't get that high very often.

81 F dew point there it is

The 71 F reason is the average dew point for the day it doesn't provide the high dp nor the low dp

Well San Diego is cooler than LA /OC beaches in general for example go to wundergrounf or accuweather and see the info for the area around Costa Mesa and Newport for this summer and past summers and you see that it is common I provided a post going back to 1980s showing this data with most years with max lows at or above mid 70s F I'm not going to post it again you can go to wunderground and check it out

East coaster here and I agree. Yes, dealing with snow was always unpleasant in bad winters. But the relentless dry, scorching hot summers (and spring and fall) is not fun. I'd rather have a short winter than a seemingly endless summer. Spring and fall are my favorite seasons and they are practically skipped right over here. It never rains, never a cloud in the sky, always just hot, hot, hot.

Are you in SF, or somewhere over the hill like Walnut Creek? It is never hot for more than a day or two around the Bay. We don't get Winter here, you are right, but it's about three hours east of Walnut Creek in the Sierra.

Keep in mind that there was both a tropical storm churning off of Baja and it has been an uncharacteristically long and intense monsoon season for all of California--North and South. We didn't get the rainfall in the Bay Area from the monsoon all moisture a month or so ago, but do you recall how humid and sticky it was for a week or two? Even in relatively comfortable temps, it was a sweaty commute to and from work.

I was in Southern California two weeks ago and agree--it was pretty miserable, even near the beach. That was not normal, though.
