San Diego, known for its year-round perfect weather, is seeing a shift this week as clouds, drizzle, and cooler temperatures move in. If you were expecting a warm, beach-worthy weekend, think again! A mix of morning rain, occasional showers, and persistent cloud cover will bring a cooler feel to the region over the next few days. While it’s not a major storm, the overcast skies and lower temperatures might have you reaching for a sweater instead of your usual sunglasses.
What’s in Store for San Diego?
San Diego’s weather pattern is changing slightly, bringing a series of cloudy, cool, and occasionally rainy days. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
- Saturday, February 8: A break from the rain, but still partly cloudy and cool with highs around 63°F (17°C).
- Sunday, February 9: A mix of clouds and sun throughout the day, with temperatures hovering around 64°F (18°C).

- Thursday, February 13: More rain may return, with cooler temperatures and cloudy skies persisting.
How This Weather Might Affect Your Plans
Outdoor Activities – If you had plans for a beach day or hiking, you might want to rethink them. Cooler temperatures and cloud cover won’t bring stormy weather, but it might not be the best time for sunbathing.
Morning Commutes – Expect wet roads in the morning due to lingering drizzle. Give yourself extra time and drive carefully, especially on highways.
Weekend Plans – With cool, cloudy weather, this might be the perfect weekend for cozy indoor dining, coffee shop visits, or exploring museums instead of outdoor activities.
Homeowners & Gardeners – If you’ve recently watered your plants, they might be getting an extra dose from nature. Keep an eye on your outdoor furniture if winds pick up later in the week.
When Will the Sunshine Return?
While the cool and cloudy trend will stick around for a while, San Diego’s signature sunshine isn’t gone for good! By mid-next week, temperatures will begin to climb slightly, and the sun will break through the clouds more frequently. However, another potential rain system is on the horizon for Thursday, so don’t pack away the umbrella just yet!
For now, enjoy the change in pace, grab a warm drink, and embrace San Diego’s cooler side while it lasts
