Carlsbad Homes in Sea Cliff enjoy a Mediterranean climate all year long

Carlsbad, CA.

Many migrate to San Diego County for many reasons but very few are fortunate enough to be able to stay here and live right near the coast.

So what’s the big deal about living near the coast many out-of-towners and inlanders may ask?  Here is one big secret…it’s the Mediterranean climate.  And what exactly is so special about this climate…well if you’ve spent four seasons in any other part of the country other than southern California, you probably don’t need any convincing at all to know that the cool Pacific Ocean sends a daily onshore flow of moist cool air inland that acts as a natural air conditioner.  Except for our average of 24 days of annual Santa Ana’s (dry and hot offshore winds), you can count on balmy temperatures rarely dipping below 50 or spiking past 80 throughout the entire year.  Head inland in the summer only 5 miles and you notice a remarkably warmer by upwards of 5 to 10 degrees.

Daily onshore flow+mild temperatures=Most Valuable real estate in the US.

Rainfall or lack thereof.  Many do not realize that San Diego is in fact a semi-arid coastal desert with an annual rainfall of less than 12 inches.
