How about a compromise?  San Diego is famous for the phrase "night
and morning low clouds" (local weathermen [weatherpersons?] use it
daily).  During the winter months, these clouds sometimes refuse to
burn off, making it slightly gray and overcast the entire day.

If it is sunny and the clouds burn away, expect the temperature to
average about 68-70.  If the clouds remain, temps will be lower,
maybe sub-60, but rarely below the speed limit (55 :).  Nighttime 
temps will vary depending on where you stay (coastal, inland, etc), 
but "low 50s" is an accurate estimate.  Regardless, you won't be 
needing your parka....

Not a weatherman, just

PS: We just had some rain these past few weeks, so maybe we've been
weatherproofed.  Of course, Jan-Feb usually (droughts and dry spells
not withstanding) implies snow in the local mountains, which implies
rain everywhere else.  Maybe we can post a weatherwatch as the time
draws nearer?
