[quote=FlyerInHi]I don’t know…. people have told me that back in the 1970s and 1980s there was no need for AC in San Diego. Even upscale houses in La Jolla didn’t have AC.[/quote]I was in San Diego when I was about 13 years old. My parents had an RV back then (bus type). It was during Thanksgiving, we were parked overnight in the Mission Bay parking area (overnight parking was legal then). I remember it because it was very hot and humid at night. Very uncomfortable. It was in the early-mid 1970s. I started attending UCSD 1979/1980. The dorms @ Revelle were very warm in September (warm and humid).
In general, there is no AC needed for Coastal San Diego. The only exception is a period of about 3 months. It has been that way for a long time, and is still that way along the Coast.
