You have mutually exclusive requirements. It's cooler summers with June gloom along the coast, but hotter summers and clearer skies inland. Remember, you're closer to the hot summer deserts in San Diego, so hot summers really are a concern. If I were you, I'd go for June gloom and cool. However, the gloom lasts a lot longer than just June. There's May gray, etc., too.
If I were you, I'd start exploring the nearby deserts soon so you know the terrain as these seasons change. For example, Anza Borrego can have fantastic wildflower blooms in some springs, but you'll need to take advantage of your retirement to avoid, if possible, the massive crowds and traffic jams in the bloom areas. Find the places that the hoi polloi don't know about. Rains can be very patchy in the deserts. Places that got wet in the recent rains may have blooms right now. The ocotillos could be in bloom. Here's something very important: unpaved roads in the lower desert areas turn to akali mud after rains. It is slicker than black ice and sticks to your wheels, throwing them out of balance until you get the mud off. Never pull off to the unpaved road shoulder if it's wet. It doesn't matter how "off road" your vehicle is. "Off road" has a whole new meaning when your vehicle slides sideways off the road into a drainage ditch.
Explore and have fun!...Show more →

Welcome to San Diego. I expect we will run into each other shooting some day. Lots to make images of around here.
Your exact weather will be determined by how close to the coast you are. In general the mildest temperatures are West of the I-5. Almost never too hot, or too cold. But in the months of May/June you will have overcast in the mornings. Most days still clearing before noon. In the warm months it gets about a degree hotter for each mile east you go. Many say the ideal weather is the zone between 5 and 10 miles east of the ocean. More than 10 miles is too hot for me. I live near the ocean in La Jolla. Never turn on air conditioning, and rarely heat. ...Show more →
Thank you all, friends.
I am exploring. Right now I am renting in a senior community in Oceanside, looking a lot into nearby Vista. Did look at Carlsbad, but housing is small, multi story and heavy traffic. Yes, more and more it looks like 5-10 from the ocean. I am looking very hard since I don‘t want to have to move again. A must: one story, a small garden, flowers year around like the place I am in right now. My wife just talked to a dear friend who moved home to Illinois to snow and minus cold.....
