International Flights to San Diego

When to Go and Weather

Although year-round temperatures average a warm 21ºC, the weather can change drastically within short distances owing to the city's mix of mountain, desert, and coastal topography. San Diego flights fill up quickly during the school holiday months from June to August, but weather-wise, the best time to visit San Diego is actually from September to October when it is still warm and most of the tourists have left. May Grey and June Gloom are phenomena particular to the San Diego region and it's best to avoid the overcast skies and frequent fog cover during these months. Booking between November to January will get you cheap airline tickets but this is also the wettest period in San Diego. The weather improves in the shoulder season from February to May but flights may be more expensive if there are business conventions planned during this time.
