what to wear

Our family is headed to California in March--a little over a week in Los Angeles, a couple of nights in Santa Cruz, and three days in San Francisco. I have no idea what the weather is like on the California coast in March.

Can we expect more rain than sunshine or vice versa?

Thanks for any advice.

There%26#39;s no way to predict weather this far in advance - you might have rain, or you might have very warm weather like we have now.

Check weather.com when packing, and pack layers because San Francisco is quite cool, and LA can get warm. Layers are key, here.

what to wear

In San Francisco and Santa Cruz you can usually depend upon upper 60%26#39;s, or if you are lucky, 70%26#39;s (Fahrenheit).

It may or may not be rainy. Not predictable. Be prepared with a lightweight plastic thingie. Umbrellas are a hassle for me, so I usually buy a cheap plastic thingie with a hood.

As someone else said...layer. We have had really cold weather for a few weeks. BUT. Today I am in Windsor, 50 miles north of San Francisco, and I had to take my light sweater off on my two-mile walk.

In other words, be prepared to be cold or warm, but never hot, in March. LA will be warmer.

Now, isn%26#39;t that a helpful answer? %26lt;grin%26gt;. Sorry, that is sping weather in California.

LOL. Your advice is very helpful. I live in the Vancouver area and the weather is just as unpredictable, although we can usually bet it%26#39;s going to rain (anywhere from lightly to an all-out downpour) sometime during the week. It%26#39;s rarely hot here in March though, so California had me wondering what to expect.

Considering your responses I will pack more pants than shorts and running shoes rather than open-toed sandals. Thanks for the advice! :-)

As far as LA - this week we have been wearing shorts and T%26#39;s - but next week could be cold %26amp; rainy. This time of year it is so hard to tell.

Thanks, Juxie. :-)
