Weather Forecast for Central Coast (June 16-22): Mostly Warm Conditions Expected

The National Weather Service (NWS) has forecast warm but dry weather for the week of June 16–22 in California’s Central Coast and interior valleys. Temperatures are expected to remain hotter than usual since high pressure will remain throughout the region through Wednesday.

Highlights

• Interior valley temperatures in the Central Coast are expected to rise close to or above 100°F by midweek.
• Coastal areas will remain pleasant, with higher temperatures reaching the 70s and 80s; some beaches may get foggy.
• Gale Warnings are in effect for outer coastal waters; Heat Advisories remain for interior valleys.

National Weather Service Warns Against Hot Temperatures and High Winds

Interior valleys, including Santa Ynez and Antelope Valleys, will experience extremely high temperatures that exceed 100°F. Coastal regions, on the other hand, will experience milder weather conditions thanks to the influence of the marine layer.

Tuesday, June 17, 2025, is expected to be the warmest day of the week. Starting Thursday, the region will experience a slight dip in temperature. Moreover, the NWS says a coastal eddy will form midweek, causing morning fog and low clouds in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. However, the Inland region will remain clear and dry for the most part.

Typical gusty sundowner winds are also forecast for the south of Santa Barbara County and the I-5 corridor. However, these winds will peak only on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

The NWS also stated the possibility of Gale winds for outer coastal waters from Monday afternoon through early Wednesday.

The NWS forecasts a slight cooldown by the end of the week. Strong localized winds and warm temperatures will persist in some areas.

Residents of the Central Coast should remain informed through the National Weather Service website and stay abreast of any heat and wind-related precautions, as well as marine advisory.
