What’s the weather like on Catalina Island?
The Island’s weather is similar to beach cities on the Southern California mainland and has been described as “Mediterranean like.” Temperatures are rarely higher than the mid-80s in the summer and seldom drop below 50 even in the winter. Because Avalon is a seaside resort, a light jacket or sweater is recommended for evenings in the summer. Layers of clothing are recommended in the winter, as warm afternoon temperatures can drop dramatically as soon as the sun goes down.
