How weather differs in sections of SD? (Long Beach, Anaheim: renting, live in)

[HarborEastGuy]

I am moving to SD and I'll be renting a 1 bedroom apt.
I will be working in Rancho Bernardo. I am single, 30s.

In my researching & asking questions on here I have learned
I have 3 basic choices:

1) live downtown near the gaslamp district.
2) live in Pacific Beach.
3) live somewhere along the "15" between work and Downtown.

Choice 1+2 are better for dating and choice 3 is boring but cheaper
and has less crime. But I also hear the climate is different amongst
these 3 choices:

I am told PB is more humid, more overcast and 5-10 degrees colder
than say along the "15". Could someone describe how the
temps/humidity/overcast-ness differs amongst these 3 areas of SD?

Coast:72 degs
Inland:82 degs
Mtn:changes from time to time
Desert:95+ degs

Summertime averages.
Coast is sometimes considered west of the 163
Inland is sometimes considered East county,Poway,Rancho Bernardo area and Escondido
Mountain is considered well where the mountains are
Desert is considered to be in the upper areas of the mountains.

So are you saying Downtown Gaslamp area has the same temps, overcast-ness,
and humidity levels as PB??

And how would these weather aspects differ between downtown Gaslamp
and the "15" corridor from say Rancho Bernardo to where the "8" intersects?

Thanks

My uncle lives near the coast, and it was surprisingly humid when I went to visit him last summer. There were also a lot of bugs out. It reminded me more of Florida than the other drier places I've been to California.

Of course a couple of weeks later, the winds were coming from the dry inland instead of the sea and there were wildfires near his place.

I have to think the "15" corridor has dry desert-like air.
When I lived in OC, Anaheim had dry, almost desert-like air.
Irvine was not desert-like but not humid either. Some places
like Long Beach felt very humid..

The places that would feel like ANA would be anywhere but the coast.Along the 15(mid/North County) would be desert like.

Downtown is still next to the water, so you'll get lower temperatures, more moisture in the air, more fog at night/morning. Generally, the further inland (go east) from the water you get, the drier and warmer it'll be.
If you drive west on the 8, you can literally feel the temperature drop as soon as you pass over the 5 freeway.
The 15 corridor is inland quite a ways, so it'll be almost always 10 degrees warmer there then the coast, at least during the day. The coast can stay foggy and overcast (cloudy) for most of the day, depending on the season, while at the same time inland gets warm and sunny and the fog tends to clear quicker. I can drive from a very clear and sunny San Marcos to a foggy and cool Carlsbad within 10 minutes.
