San Diego’s coastal location means morning fog is common, but it can create some serious visibility issues on the roads. On Wednesday, a band of rain will move through, potentially leading to slick streets and minor delays during the morning commute. As the week goes on, expect a mix of sun and clouds before a cooler, sunnier weekend.
Tips to Stay Safe and Comfortable This Week
- Morning Fog Caution: If you’re driving in fog, use low-beam headlights and leave extra space between you and other vehicles.
- Prepare for Rain: Make sure your umbrella and raincoat are handy for Wednesday’s morning showers. Double-check your windshield wipers to ensure they’re working properly.
- Dress for the Weekend: Although the weekend will be sunny, temperatures will be on the cooler side, so dress in layers if you’re spending time outdoors.
San Diego’s weather is known for its unpredictability, and this week will be no exception. Stay prepared, plan, and enjoy the sunshine when it returns over the weekend!
