Weather Question ~ President's Weekend...

[MPLsDad]

Can anyone out there give me an idea what to expect of the weather over President's weekend? Thanks and Happy New Year!

The weather in Anaheim is typically pretty mild at that time of year. The highs will probably be in the 60s, but could get into the mid to high 70s with luck. The lows will probably be aound the 40s, so bring jackets for the evening. Rain is certainly a possibility.

Thanks CalGal - especially for the advice on jackets. The guidebooks usually tell you the average temps - upper 60s, which would have led me to think warm coats were unnecessary. Thanks to your good advice, I know to take them, instead of having to buy 4 sweatshirts to layer and bundle up in! Let's do the math > 4 sweatshirts x 3 people x $40/sweatshirt = HOLY MOUSE YOU SURE SAVED ME A LOTTA MICKEY MOOLA!

Definitely come prepared with light raincoats that you can layer over warmer clothing as needed. I don't know the actual figures, but after 42 years of living in So Cal, I'd guess February is when rain is most likely. You may well not need them and could have fabulous clear blue skies in the mid 60's to low 70's, but if you are prepared, you won't be slowed down if it does rain. At that time of year, if we are going somewhere, I generally plan on t-necks or flannel shirts with a medium weight jacket (like a fleece one, or a squall jacket) during the day, and add a sweatshirt at night. A hat can go a long way in keeping you warm, too, on a chilly night, and having to buy those also will add up to many $$$!
