San Diego’s Weather Forecast for Sunday, December 22, 2024: High surf and fog still with us

Posted
and last updated

Overnight and morning fog continues to hang around, and so does our High Surf Advisory. This, all ahead of an active weather day Christmas Eve.

As has been the case recently, Monday's temperatures will remain close to normal in the lower elevations, while the mountains and deserts will be well above average. In fact, Borrego could set a record with a daytime high of 82 degrees, breaking the previous record of 80 set back in 1980.

As for the fog, impacted areas on the coast and inland will see visibility dip below one mile. That should clear between 10 and 11 a.m. We've seen these conditions delay or cancel several flights at the airport as of late, so don't be surprised if that continues.

Don't forget — we still have a High Surf Advisory from now until Wednesday 4 a.m., with waves anywhere between 6-13 feet. Expect dangerous conditions for swimming and surfing, along with a chance for localized coastal erosion.

By Christmas Eve, a chance for showers returns to the forecast for coastal, inland and mountain communities. That will remain in the afternoon and into the evening.

Meanwhile, the mountains and deserts will see breezy conditions, with sustained winds between 25-35 mph and some gusts reaching 55 mph.

We dry out Christmas Day, and Hanukkah begins that evening. The start of Kwanzaa follows close behind on Thursday. Happy Holidays!

Monday's Highs:
Coast: 62-70°
Inland: 68-73°
Mountains: 65-74°
Deserts: 76-82°
