West Coast in February

>>1136479
It will be cloudy, rainy and 40 degrees F in Seattle pretty much all the way down to California. It will be cloudy and 50s down through the San Francisco area.

The further south you go, the more sun youll get. I love the PNW and the west coast in general, but if you are looking for someplace warm you will need to revisit this idea. Even Los Angeles will only be about 65F during the day and could be in the 40s at night.

Assuming you have no issues with the weather id be glad to tell you more about where to go; just thought id clear that up first.

I've road tripped the west coast in February several times and it is actually pretty awesome. If you like raging pacific storms, crashing waves and horizontal rain it is actually a lot of fun. I actually enjoy that environment and there are brief periods where it is not pouring rain and the beaches are deserted and perfect for beach combing. Prices are low and you don't need reservations anywhere.

Then there is terrific skiing and winter sports in the Sierras.

If you want nicer weather, you can easily travel east into the deserts and enjoy some nicer weather.

Not everyone is into the warm beaches and swimming and I encourage people to travel that time of year.

if you want warm, and I'm not saying you do or you should, but coming from your summer to that area's winter ...

LA to San Diego along the I-8 thru Yuma to Tucson to Phoenix then go home whichever way you want

However i dunno the kinda stuff you wanna see when you travel or how dedicated you are to avoiding the cold and the wet

I personally love the rain, but I have lived in Miami, Boston, Texas, Baghdad, Georgia and DC so the extremes of heat, cold, humidity, and dry have worn me out like your mother's box. I can deal with clouds and drizzle here in Portland way better than i ever imagined, and Dublin didn't kill me either

As long as the temperature generally sits around 15 degrees C during the day or higher then that's not a problem. I guess the real concern is rain, I went to Japan in summer once and it rained every single day which started to get really frustrating. Of course if it rains a few times that's fine but if it rains all day, for 9 days in a row like I had in Tokyo that would not be ideal.

When I travel I generally like to see landmarks, things that may be unique to certain places and generally explore. I'm not much of a nature kinda guy so I'm not really going to want to go out hiking or climbing mountains or whatever.

San Diego, LA, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle are the major cities along west coast. Check them all out, won't regret it. Beaches of SD and LA are great. Mission Beach and Newport Beach. I am not familiar with SF but Portland has lots to do and a cool downtown area along with neighborhoods with neat shops and bars. Might as well hit Vancouver in canada if you head to Seattle

Gunna have to burst your bubble here, sorry. If avoiding the cold and rain is real important to you you've probably picked the worst time to visit the PNW. To add to that, W 2017 is expected to be a La Nina year, which means even colder, and a lot wetter. Everything north of Cali is going to be wet and stormy for long periods at a time, expect ~7C and rain as an average day.

Now, with all that being said. La Nina does mean Cali will get less rain, so if you're dead set on the west coast then that should be your safe haven. Still won't be all that warm, but sunny weather is a safe bet.

If you're comfortable leaving your plans open you could test your luck with a road trip up the coast, weather permitting. Just don't forget to bring books in case you get bogged down.

Do you like hiking at all? Have you ever been storm watching?
