What Time Zone is San Diego, California?
The first question for any traveler planning a trip to the Golden Coast.
Pacific Time Zone (PT)
San Diego County and all of California operate on Pacific Time. The state observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in the summer. This puts it 3 hours behind the East Coast.
What Time is "May Gray" and "June Gloom"?
A unique, time-of-year weather phenomenon that defines late spring in San Diego.
Mornings, Burning Off by Noon
In late spring, a marine layer often covers the coast in the morning. This "May Gray" or "June Gloom" typically burns off by 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM, revealing a sunny afternoon. It's a key time-based pattern to know when planning a beach morning.
What Time Does the Gaslamp Quarter Get Busy?
