San Diego County will experience another warm day for Easter Sunday, with temperatures reaching 5-15 degrees above average. The coast and some inland valleys may see patchy fog in the morning, while the mountains will remain dry with low humidity. Temperatures are expected to gradually decline through next week, with slight chances of showers returning by Thursday.

Why it matters

The warm weather and dry conditions in the mountains could impact outdoor Easter plans and activities, while the potential for fog and changing temperatures in the coming week may affect travel and other weekend plans.

The details

The warm temperatures will be accompanied by partly cloudy skies across the region. The mountains will see relative humidity drop into the single digits in the morning, so hikers and outdoor enthusiasts should be prepared with lip balm and sunscreen. Temperatures will then start to decline, with daytime highs at or below average by Thursday, around the same time that slight chances for showers return to the forecast.

  • On Easter Sunday (April 5, 2026), temperatures will reach 5-15 degrees above average.
