However, harking back to the thread title about becoming climatically parallel to SD, this is an impossibility. First San Diego is at Lat 33N, over 15 degrees further south than Vancouver at 49N. More intense sunlight all year, hotter surface temps. Secondly, SD does not experience cold winter outflow wind events that Vancouver does. In Vancouver,such winds bring biting cold and the possibility of snow and black ice. Winter easterly winds in San Diego are Santa Ana winds that bring heat and dust. / So, although Vancouver's climate is already showing signs of heating up, with hotter summer days and nights, longer Indian Summers, and sometimes warmer spring weather, it will never attain the consistent warmth, sunshine hours, and erratic but infrequent rain events that San Diego does annually. / Perhaps a slight tweaking of the thread title is valid. Thank you.
