Warm, Windy Day in San Diego with Fire Danger
US · Published Oct 18, 2026
• San Diego is experiencing warm and windy conditions today, October 17, 2026, with temperatures ranging from the mid-80s to mid-90s along the coast and inland valleys.
• A Heat Advisory is in effect for the coast until 8 p.m., and a High Wind Warning is active for inland valleys and mountains.

Impact & Risks

The elevated fire danger remains a concern due to the combination of high temperatures and strong Santa Ana winds. Gusts of up to 65 mph in the mountains and 55 mph in the inland valleys could lead to downed trees and power lines, posing risks to property and safety. Residents in fire-prone areas should remain vigilant and prepared for potential fire hazards. The heat may also pose health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions.
