San Diego County, CA – According to the National Weather Service, San Diego County is expected to experience brief showers after 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve, but no substantial rainfall is anticipated leading up to New Year’s Day.
“Looks like we’re going to be high and dry, post-Christmas,” said Kyle Wheeler, a weather service forecaster.
Since the rainy season kicked off on October 1, San Diego has seen a mere 0.14 inches of precipitation, largely due to the jet stream remaining to the north, directing storms towards Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Those areas can expect increased rainfall on Monday and Tuesday, while San Diego will experience just a light brush from the storm’s outer edge.
San Diego is set to experience daytime highs of 64 on Monday, 63 on Tuesday, and 62 on Wednesday, which is Christmas Day. The peak for the season reaches 66.
