For starters, San Diego is located between 30 and 45 degrees latitude, the same distance from the equator as southern Italy, Greece, Portugal and Spain, which gives all these places a Mediterranean climate.
Mediterranean climates are mild and are often found on the western side of continents, directly related to large bodies of water and ocean currents. Cold currents during the summer keep the weather mild and dry, and warm currents during the winter keep the land warm and bring rain in the winter.
