Huntington Beach recording from their pier is warmer than San Diego airport full of UHI, now think about the actuall land in HB...
Better yet compare John Wayne Airport to san diego airport. John Wayne sees average high of 85 F in August compared to 77 F in SD, also John Wayne sees 70F + highs in all months of the year except December that sees a high of 69 F.
No comparison between CA avocados and Florida avocados
No, it's not. And East LA isn't warmer in winter than Tampa. East LA has cooler nighttime temperatures than Tampa, and cooler daytime temps. The only time it MIGHT be warmer is if Tampa experiences an Arctic blast, which it does for a few days every winter. But LA also sometimes gets these.
San Diego has warmer nighttime temperatures year-round than OC and LA. Having lived there for 7 years and frequently travelled to LA and OC, I know. Some parts of OC and LA might retain their warmth for a bit longer because of the smog/urban heat island (San Diego has less of this), but the temps still bottom out a few hours before dawn at, on average, cooler nighttime lows than what San Diego experiences.
I'm doing this because you are nitpicking so I'm giving YOU a taste of YOUR OWN medicine
Nah, you're the one who picked Deerfield beach, a beach that can take 2 hours for me driving to access. Which btw, Lancaster is closer to Santa Monica than Deerfield beach is to me!
But anyway, this is pointless. The whole reason I started arguing this point was because someone (maybe you?), claimed that even Jacksonville see's warmer temps in winter than all of SoCal, which is not true in the slightest. The only area warmer than SoCal and Hawaii in winter is extreme South Florida.
Anyway, regardless of the overall climate and excluding that tiny sliver of land, most of Florida has seen trace amounts of snow and/or snow flurries. And not as rarely as you think.
Hawaii is warmer than all of South Florida in wintertime. Also, extreme South TX (besides cold snaps) is warmer than SoCal winters.
lol all of those can be grown here. In fact, Florida is famous for orange trees, not California. In California you can buy both (California oranges which tend to be dry, and Florida ones which tend to be juicy), however here in Florida you can only get ours. Probably because no one wants the California oranges.
You can add avocado (they also grow in California but the ones here are juicier), guava, mango, papaya, and similar other stuffs. I only mentioned my courtyard because that's what I have.
For the record, guavas, mangoes, dragon fruit, sugarcane, etc all grow in SoCal. Sure they do better in South FL, but they do grow and do well in SoCal.
No. warmest nighttime temperatures in winter in all of Southern CA occur in Santa Monica/West LA bordering SaMo, and warmest nighttime summer temps in all of Socal (outside the deserts) occur in Newport Beach/Costa Mesa.
Again, not true, and I've been in both places numerous times. As I said before, sometimes the UHI that's more present in LA will keep nights warmer for a few hours, but a few hours before dawn it will bottom out at a low minimum temp. It's really a negligible difference, anyways, but San Diego is still warmer in winter and at night. I've seen quite a few summer nights on the San Diego beaches remaining in the low 70sF, but when I drive up to OC and LA, it's only 60sF.
Furthermore, I never said ALL days on Oceanside (or coastal San Diego/SoCal) were in the 80sF, as sometimes they remain in the 70sF. But most, particularly in late summer, will top out in the low to mid 80sF as a daytime high.
I would say in San Diego when I lived there, most common outfit was a flatbill hat, long sleeves (usually flannel), shorts (usually light neon color), and Vans shoes.
I usually wore a t-shirt but had a hoody with me for basically 9-10 months of the year back in San Diego. 70 is not warm, just think 69. Does that sound warm?
I agree that I didn't like how SoCal for much of the year was cool and dry, but when it was 70F and above, I can't recall anyone dressing in warm clothes besides old homeless people who had no choice. Some people wore a hoodie because of the cool Pacific breezes, or if the marine layer rolled in (or both), but they were still in shorts and flip flops, and a T-shirt underneath that hoodie. When it was sunny and 70F (even WITH a breeze), many people dressed like it was summertime.
Why would you compare John Wayne to Lindbergh Field? JW is twice as far from the ocean and not next to a large body of water like Lindbergh Field.
San Diego airport is warmer by only 2 F than HB PIER.
San Diego is shielded by Point Loma while John Wayne only protection is that is a by farther inland than SD Airport.
