That's because SoCal gets low rainfall, so people would think it's dry and sunny.
I mean, Arica and Lima, which are one of the most driest places on earth (1-13mm of rain), get an embarrassingly low sunshine throughout the year (less than 1700 hours!).
Excuse the sexual reference, but that's like a good looking man with a microscopic penis.
Yawn ... Arica stats you are presumably quoting are simply wrong. The correct average is around 2300 hours. The Wiki inaccuracies keep getting quoted over and over for a variety of places ...
not a myth, 90 % of days yearly its sunny, even this December it has been sunny all month, even temps for the month are around 75 degrees (so far, the rest of December will be above 80 degrees all days), i think we have only had 2 days where it gets cloudy 40% of the day, but other than that this 2 weeks ago, this week and the rest of December has /will be above 80 degrees
(and just to think, December is the month with least amount of sunshine (hours))

Don't blame me. Because I, like many others in here, base their information on Wikipedia.
Now can you please source YOUR information about Arica's sunshine?
Oh, there are THREE reliable sources under Arica's climate box. But now according to YOU, it's inaccurate?
I agree, but I also now live in the inland portion of Oceanside (San Diego County) on Camp Pendleton. The weather is more extreme than the coast (hotter summers, cooler winters) but we get more sun (but still more overcast than just a bit inland). If you go too far inland, like Escondido, Woodland Hills, or the Inland Empire area, you will have much cooler winter nights and far hotter summer days. Despite the 'dry heat' thing, it will still be draining in summer and very cool in winter. Being maybe 7 miles away from the coast is good-little bit more extreme weather and a little more sunny weather.

I don't care which sources you quote for Wikipedia - things get screwed up in transmission/translation in countless cases, and anyone can change the data - refer to Melbourne's sun history there for an example.

Big Sur is the wettest part of the state. But the other day on Weather Channel, a ranger from there said they've barely had any rain there and there are now wildfires up in that area. So sad-I was there in summer and last fall, and it was beautiful and green.
