Not much more rain than most of the Bay Area, but we do get this thing called fog drip. That's when the fog condenses on the leaves of trees and drips. The weather centers don't track the weather where I live, according to them, Pacifica weather is from the southern inland area of the city where the temperature averages probably 10 degrees higher. You see, over here, the temperature can really change 30 degrees within a mile.
Originally Posted By ImTinkerbellsfan Nemopoppins WOW! That is a difference. It's the same here too. In Phoenix it can be hotter longer because of the pavement and all the buildings. Out where I live there isn't much to hold the heat in so it cools down quicker.

Anyway, I guess average temperatures can be a guide when planning a Disneyland trip, but for some reason it always seems to be below the average when I go. My luck. We go for a week every summer (August, supposedly the hottest month) and I don't think we've had weather over mid 80 degrees since the year 2000. This summer we went the week after the heat wave and I think 83 was our highest day. It didn't even get to 80 one day. Last year, I think it was below 80 about three or four of those days. When we went in December it was 49 degrees and rainy. Best be prepared for anything.

Originally Posted By JAYDOE oh nemopoppins....you should have waited until October to go again!:0) That's when I'll be there and I WANT that cool weather you bring!! I've actually been very worried about how warm it's been there. I'm concerned it's not going to let up, and I will be in crazy hot weather when I go in October! lol

Of course you probably wouldn't like the rain and under 50 degree temperatures that I'll bring then. Actually, I checked accuweather again and they've upgraded the forecast temperatures for my trip to upper/70's and 80's! I'm hoping this might be the warm trip I've been missing!
Originally Posted By JAYDOE actually, I wouldn't mind 50 degree weather. I'm from New Mexico...and I HATE the summer! We aren't as hot as say Phoenix, but we can get up there at times. I can't wait for the fall weather to kick in. And this year in New Mexico has been quite rainey....which only makes it humid...and there is only one thing that is worse than HOT weather, and that is HOT STICKY weather!! :0) (lol)

I cant wait to go to Dl and be cold. And wear my gloves and beanie. I cant wait. Here on my island we dont have ac's in our house. So this summer at 11 pm it is still 80 degress outside! So yeah, cant wait for fall.
Originally Posted By JAYDOE tinkerbell77...what kind of weather do you have in October? I'm curious, because my parents are taking there first trip to Hawaii then. They are very excited. But I'll be at DL when they go to Hawaii......I still think I'm the lucky one!!! :0)

I'm not sure that was typical. I seem to be hotter than when we were there last year in Aug. We went in Nov. 2 yrs and froze. I would definately take gloves and hats for night time, store them in a locker. Buy ahead like momofprincess said, we spend $600 in DLR for gloves coats and hats. ouch
Originally Posted By ImTinkerbellsfan I'm from Phoenix too and I always have coats, gloves, hats, and scarves ready.

I always check www.weather.com a couple of days before the trip to see what the weather is going to be like.

Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 JAYDOE, well in Oct it isnt to bad. It will still be warm, but there will be a nice breeze. But it is Hawaii, so it is nice just being here! Tell your parents to have a great time, and wear sun screen!!
Originally Posted By Niele Aloha tinkerbell77 - we, too, live in Hawaii and can't wait till December to go so we can wear our winter clothes. It will be so nice and cool, just hope there is not alot of rain. We finally went out and bought our first a/c (15K BTU's!!!) and I've been in heaven ever since. I don't even hear the chickens or dogs barking!!!
Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 ^^ I know what you mean, the chickens!!! Well we have our a/c, but it is still sitting in our garage!! Oh well, I can dream of our Dec trip. Which island do you live on? I live on Kauai, love it almost as much as DL!
Originally Posted By Niele Hi tinkerbell77 - we're on Oahu, sure wish we were outer island, though, I know Kauai is so gorgeous .... some day! You have got to get that a/c installed, it really makes a big difference. And, yes, I be a dreamin' of our Dec trip, too.
