Why is California so desirable?

Natural beauty, cutting-edge technology, vibrant food culture, movies and music – California has it all. From Hollywood dreams to Silicon Valley start-ups; from Napa Valley vineyards to miles of free beaches, California is one of the most beautiful and livable places in America.

Why is it so cool in California?

Since hot air rises, air flows in from the ocean and across the coast towards the deserts. Since the air over the ocean is cool and moist, clouds get dragged along and pile up against the mountains. That makes mornings in coastal So Cal overcast, cool, and cloudy.

Why is California cool in the summer?

The inland heat sets up an interaction with the cool Pacific waters along the coast. McClung said ocean temperatures off Southern California have been a couple of degrees cooler than usual this summer, and that has kept coastal air temperatures cool too. On the other hand, temperatures have been soaring in the deserts.

Is California really that laid back?

The prevailing notion of Californians is that they’re laid back and chill and “call my people, we’ll do lunch.” This is true. Do not rush a Californian when they have to make a decision or need to turn something around for you.

Why is LA so cloudy?

The desert and valleys start to heat up and the ocean stays relatively cool. This creates a temperature inversion which creates a pressure gradient that happens like clockwork. At night, that pressure gradient creates the mechanism that pushes those clouds inland and it stays overcast through the morning hours.

Why is LA weather so nice?

“The major influences on our weather,” he says, “are the Pacific Ocean, the terrain, but most especially the Eastern Pacific High.” Since the warming of air does not normally produce clouds, clear skies and fair weather are generally associated with regions of surface high pressure.

Why is San Francisco not hot?

To the east, heat in the valley creates thinner air and low pressure. The valley becomes like a vacuum that wants to be filled by the heavier marine layer. It pulls that layer over San Francisco, which typically makes the city cooler than other parts of California — and the country — in the summer.
