For me, the areas around Ensenada can be too cold and foggy. Last June was really rather cold. Perhaps more inland was better, but I'm wondering if
there's a better spot. A spot where you can wear shorts year round and not need to flee the heat. I can take up to 100 if it's not humid, especially
if there's a nice breeze.
More thoughts on a climate somewhat like I'm trying to get at (or get to)? |
keep in mind that the past 2 summers were abnormal in the cool temps. last summer was better but the one before was the summer that never was.... at
least in SD.

The Kona Area on the Big Island is mo betta than Maui----a little dryer rainwise, and less humid, and the ocean is stunning there. We love Capt. Cook,
south and a little inland of Kona proper.

For me its Mulege-Cabo but take away July-Sept
I like the heat but not "Hell" heat
Pacific is too cool and overcast for my taste
If I was retiring today I'd be moving to Mulege tomorrow.

After experiencing a bone dry gringa enter an outdoor restaurant in San Lucas at 4PM in August and declare "Hell, honey, if y'all want hot, go to
Hewwwwwston". (it was 104F with 64% humidity).
And seeing dozens and dozens of white legged Canadians, dressed in shorts and tee shirts still fanning fan themselves when it manages to reach down to
60F, I give up.
But as for me, I have spent dozens of summers in Mexico and I have my own personal preferences.

Low humidity is the key, we are under 10% usually. 60 deg in San Diego feels like a 40 deg day here, and the warmer days are much more bearable too. I
would have never believed it before I moved here. We get about 1 week a year of extreme cold and about 1 week of unbearable heat, plus summertime
afternoon thunderstorms blow through that cool the evenings off.

Well, if you're speaking to only climate, I think San Diego has the best climate anywhere. With that in mind, northern Baja would be my vote.
|
I spent 30 years in the San Diego area, and froze about 320 days a year because of the humidity.
Alpine, Romona, or Jamul are much better.
So, based on that, I would think Tacate would be nice.

 You've
got to be kidding me. We wear shorts year round here. |
Woody and David have it right------I meant the "relative humidity". I have found that I am a desert-rat, and like below 40% humidity. Also, the doc
tells me I am alergic to "humidity" and I can't breath very well near the coast. My first car in Coronado in High School was a convertable, and I
never put the top down unless the girls insisted, and then I wore a Makinaw to survive, as did my friends with convertables. If the sun would come out
more it would sure help. Coronado rarely got up into the 70's, and anything below 80 is cool to me. We love the heat in Redding, CA, especially my
wife who REALLY froze in the Bay Area where she grew up. San Diego during Santa Ana's is HEAVEN.
I too always wore shorts in San Diego (it's required), but I also wore a sweatshirt (not a hoodie) most of the time.
The heat and humidity in most of the Eastern USA is horrible, no matter what they say!!! I went to school there, and know.
We are all different, that is for sure. RidgeCrest, CA is a good place, too, weatherwise, as the Susanville/Reno/Bishop corridor area of the Eastern
Sierra.
And nbacc, yes, we love Redding, especially in the Summer. (a little too wet in winter, tho) 
Borrego Springs in winter is super, too, and we usually spend time there each spring.

You were unlucky Barry. Coronado has the worst weather in all of San Diego.
I agree with you about the winter/spring weather at Borrego Springs. That place is really great. I suppose the entire Salton Sea basin is great but
there is something about the ambience of that small community that is so special.

Yup...for my taste, Asuncion has the best weather I've seen anywhere for year round living...perfect summer climate in the 80's and warmer here in
winter than the gulf side...this is due to the cool currents that are present from march-july and warmer water in the winter. There is very little fog
or humidity, no june gloom and more days of sunshine than one can imagine!
This central baja corridor is very temperate...the hurricaines rarely track up this far and the winter storms from the north peter out before they get
here. Even our crappy months of april & may have gorgeous mornings then gets windy in the afternoons and dies off in the evening.

asuncion is pretty nice - they have one part that is referred to as Hawaii as it is hot and the other end is referred to as Alaska, on the very same
day, same time as you are warm in Hawaii Asuncion- you'll be needing a sweater in Alaska Asuncion. Just amazing.

I have stayed at asuncion in both July and August when it blew every day at 20-25mph. It started at noon and was blowing like Victory at Sea by 6PM.
By 9PM it was calm again.
Shari, the crappy weather is a lot longer than 2 months at asuncion.

pretty bad weather luck Igor....sorry amigo...i just have a real hard time believing it blew EVERY day then....those months are pretty darn
nice....some fishing guys just left after a week here...I tried to get them to come later but they insisted...they LOVED the weather and fished every
day till early afternoon...and this is the crappiest month.

Do folks living in the East Cape, La Paz, Cabo, Loreto, San Ignacio and other parts have some experience to share?
I've had good luck with the weather in Cabo, but it's certainly more expensive than other parts of Baja.

So this area avoids the cold and fog that nearby Todos Santos can experience? And mosquitos?
