Muggy, Warm: Weather Is in Mid-July Form

How predictable. How utterly old hat. As if following carefully drawn blueprints, the weekend weather is going to do exactly what it is supposed to do for mid-July.

Muggy and warm are the weather watchwords for San Diego’s second weekend in July. Near-seasonal temperatures will seem higher because of moist winds slowly creeping in from Mexico, the National Weather Service reported.

Thunderstorms Possible

A humidity level of 30% may bring thunderstorms by Sunday to such areas as Ramona, Alpine and Campo, forecaster Wilbur Shigehara said. However, the rest of the county should experience a typical July.

“Right now, it doesn’t look like it will rain over the city, but it will be noticeably more humid,” Shigehara said. “We have a real change with the winds coming from Mexico. Earlier this week, we were getting winds from the drier directions, Hawaii and Japan, but the winds are now subtly shifting.”

68 to 72 at the Beach

After the morning low clouds burn off, highs at the beach are expected to range from 68 to 72. Afternoon skies should be hazy but fair, Shigehara said, adding that skies along the coast and inland will also be hazy to fair, with some straggling clouds from the south. Highs along the coast throughout the weekend will be from 71 to 81, with minor day-to-day fluctuation, according to the forecast. Overnight lows of 56 to 62 are predicted along the coast.

The surf is at 3 feet. The ocean is 66 degrees.

Inland temperatures will be slightly higher, ranging from 81 to 91 during the days and 56 to 62 at night.

Mountain highs will be between 85 and 92, with overnight lows in the middle 60s. Desert highs will range from 107 to 113, and overnight lows will be 77 to 85.
