The averages in the below chart include the night
and day time temperatures averaged together. As a result the
day time average temperatures are actually quite a bit higher then the ones listed below.
You can be sitting downtown State Street in the middle of January and
its 80 degrees out and the sun is shining warm on your face - while most
of the rest of the country is buried in snow and or experiencing bitter
chill.
The typical type of weather in Santa Barbara can be
described as very pleasant and moderate year round.

Sure there will be brief days of heavy
rain in the winter - and extremely rarely, a Simoon (derived from short
hot sand related storms in Africa) which is a very rare condition which
produces high temperatures for a few hours or so - but most of the time
the weather is quite pleasant. Santa Barbara had a Simoon like condition
last in 1990 during the Painted Cave Fire - but an even worse one
occurred in 1859. Reference here:
