Tijuana weather forecast for tomorrow

Climate Characteristics of Tijuana

General Overview

Tijuana enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Unlike other parts of Mexico, the climate here strongly resembles that of Southern California—mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Proximity to the Pacific Ocean moderates temperatures, so the city rarely suffers from extreme heat or freezing cold.

Summer and Warm Months (June to September)

Summer in Tijuana is hot and very dry. Daytime temperatures range from 25°C to 28°C (77-82°F) but can occasionally climb above 30°C (86°F) during periods of warm easterly desert winds. A common summer phenomenon is "morning fog" rolling in from the ocean, cooling the city until the afternoon.

Winter and Rainy Season (December to March)

Winter is when most of the annual rainfall occurs, though the amount is relatively moderate. Daytime temperatures are pleasant (around 18°C to 20°C / 64-68°F), but nights can be cool, dropping to 7°C or 8°C (45-46°F). Sunny days are frequent even in the middle of winter.

Special Phenomena

One of the most recognized phenomena in the region is the "Santa Ana winds"—very hot and dry winds coming from the desert that can cause sudden and extreme temperature spikes, primarily in late summer and autumn.
