If warm, sunny weather is not ideal for you then so be it. No need to insult.
During summer, yes—warm/hot and sunny weather is indeed ideal for me (provided it's variable, dry, and stormy as well, which San Diego and Honolulu are not). However, certainly not in winter; not every weather enthusiast is a comfort-nancy.
Neither are ideal, but Honolulu by far. It gets more rain and has a far better chance at storm activity (in fact, it can actually manage a truly wet month every once in a while). Also it's actually warm year round unlike San Diego, so it gets bonus points there.
San Diego is just extremely boring for a weather enthusiast.
Honolulu all the way. Honolulu is comfortably warm most of the year, San Diego is just mild most of the year, although San Diego does get a lot of sun and not a lot of rain, but temperature wise it is too cold. San Diego gets some of the mildest winter weather in the US yet some of the coolest summer weather. I mean go to somewhere like Philly in January and it will likely be below freezing in mornings and evenings and even afternoons on some days. Go to San Diego in January it will be about 68. Weather forecast for Philly today is 84 degrees. San Diego only 65 which is colder than a lot of winter days. It seems to be similar weather all year round just moderately cool weather all year only difference being few degrees warmer at night in the summer. Honolulu all the way weather in mid to upper 80s and sunny there all week. Sunny in San Diego but still only chilly around 70, which isn't exactly sunbathing half naked weather. Honolulu is my pick, although less rainfall and sunshine in San Diego is better, Honolulu wins simply by being much warmer.
