The City of San Diego has been called a “City of Villages,” and Carmel
Valley is one of those villages.
Carmel Valley is a master planned community
that began with the institutional name “North City West.”
The Carmel Valley name
comes from the community's location--in a wide valley immediately to the
north of Carmel Mountain, which is a minor feature at the intersection of
I-5 and SR-56.
The weather here is great,
as long as you don't like much change. If you expect it to be hot here
because we're so far south, or expect it to be dry here because we're in
the desert, you'd only be partly right. A warm summer day might be in the
80s, with a cold winter day in the 50s. Of course, it almost always gets
cool at night (so, bring a sweater!), and we get lots of fog and clouds.
The weather is really controlled by the nearby Pacific Ocean, which
moderates the temperature and keeps the humidity up (humidity tends to be
70% to 90%). Of course, we don't get much rain (10 inches per year on
average).
