Travel Info What's the weather like in middle August in California - San Diego? What about the Grand Canyon? Travel Tips weather.com (http://www.weather.com) now has a feature called "Travel Smart". Click the tab, enter your city destination, and you can get info about weather in the area for any particular month. For San Diego, they write: Holiday Magazine voted San Diego the only area in the country with perfect weather. The average annual temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and a typical day is sunny and mild with low humidity. There is abundant sunshine much of the year, though June can be a bit gloomy. Summers are mild and spring is somewhat cooler. For SoCal (Los Angeles area) August is HOT if you are in the inland valleys or up in the desert, and cooler as you get towards the beach. For instance, on a mid-August day, it might be 84 degrees in Manhattan Beach, 94 degrees out in Anaheim (Disneyland), and 102 degrees in Ontario (way out in the Inland Empire). The Grand Canyon is also an "it depends" answer. The North Rim is higher than the South Rim, so even in mid-August it can be cool, because you can be up at 7,000+ ft and in the shadows under the trees in some hiking areas. At the South Rim, you'll probably find it fairly hot during the day, and cooler at night, but if you are planning a hike down into the canyon, temperatures will rise dramatically (a few hikers die doing that hike each year because they fail to bring enough water and they're not fit enough). Out west a lot depends on proximity to the ocean, or altitude. Closer to the ocean and higher altitudes =cooler temps. Others In San Diego in the middle of August its usually starting to simmer down but it will still be in the high 90s and sometimes the low 100s but luckily we typically have a beautiful coastal breeze that helps keep it a little cooler! Victoria http://www.about-sandiegoca.com/... In San Diego the weather is usually in the upper 70's to mid 80's along the coast and low to mid 90's inland. Stay near the coast, it won't be too hot and is pretty much perfect with the ocean breeze. The Grand Canyon can be stifling hot in August. It is in the middle of a desert. The weather in San Diego will vary greatly depending on how close you are to the ocean.
