San Diego’s world-renowned weather isn’t living up to its billing.
The city hasn’t experienced a complete day of sunshine since Feb. 15 and won’t any time soon, according to the National Weather Service.
“We usually see full sunshine for a few days in February and March when the Santa Ana winds clear things out,” said Brian Adams, a weather service forecaster.
“But it was a wet winter, and we didn’t get that. And the ‘May gray’ and ‘June gloom’ has been really thick.”
Forecasters say that the region will be cloudy to partly cloudy through at least Wednesday. And the air will continue to be unseasonably chilly, partly because the ocean is running 3 to 4 degrees below normal.
If things remain largely the same, San Diego will likely experience its eighth consecutive month of below-average temperatures. The last time that occurred was from June 1962 through January 1963.
So far, the current average monthly temperature in San Diego is 64.4, which is 1.4 degrees below normal, the weather service said.
