Strong temperature inversion leads to misty conditions along San Diego coastal areas
While inland areas are feeling a bit of a warmup, closer to the coast you’ll run into a thick marine layer and drizzle. Strong temperature inversion over the Pacific Ocean has led to misty conditions along San Diego coastal areas, causing a thick marine layer and drizzle. This is due to warm, dry air over a cool Pacific Ocean creating a temperature invert, which is caused by more condensation than evaporation. This has resulted in a struggle for clear conditions along the beach communities, resulting in a few degrees cooler temperatures for some areas. However, mountains and deserts are expected to warm up a few minutes, with temperatures expected to remain stagnant at the coast and beyond.

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — While inland areas are feeling a bit of a warmup, closer to the coast you’ll run into a thick marine layer and drizzle.
Warm, dry air over a cool Pacific Ocean is creating what’s called a temperature inversion. In this case, more condensation is happening than evaporation which is why we get the very present marine layer this time of year along with some mist.
It’s struggling to clear along the beach communities, thus keeping these areas and a few western alleys a few degrees cooler than seasonal averages.
However, mountains and deserts will warm up a few degrees Tuesday and Wednesday.
Daytime highs will stay pretty stagnant at the coast Wednesday and beyond with upper 60s to low 70s at the beach.
Inland valleys are warming up to the low 80s Wednesday with mountains topping out in the mid 80s and near 105 degrees for the deserts.
