Go in Apr, May, Jun, Aug or Sep — these months score within a whisker of each other; 20C max, 2 rainy days. Jul is the next best.

Public holidays at Dubai move this destination's year too little to make it a different answer, so the San Diego page is the one of record. This one is kept for the distance and the flight it implies.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in AE as well as at San Diego, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

About as busy all year round.

The year in San Diego

San Diego typically experiences a mild climate with minimal rainfall, but please consult local sources for the latest weather conditions.

Busiest
mid Jun to late Aug — Warm weather and school vacations attract the highest number of tourists.
Quieter, still good
early Apr to mid Jun — Pleasant temperatures and lower crowds make this a great time to visit.
early Sep to late Oct — Milder weather and fewer tourists offer a more relaxed experience.

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
