To me, anything Orange County and north doesn't qualify. Orange County is usually pretty chilly in January/February; San Diego is just a few degrees warmer, but to me, is on the cusp of what I would consider "warm".

The temps around Southern California from north (LA) to south (SD) are nearly the same depending on the distance from the coast, however SD and LA both have very warm and cold pockets (microclimates) relative to the rest of the area.
When people try to compare the temps of the metro areas, they are usually comparing downtown LA (inland), and downtown SD (right on the water). Both areas stretch from the coast to far inland, and thus the locations being compared (inland vs. coastal) are not apples to apples. It would be more accurate to compare coastal cities in each metro, and inland cities (x miles from the coast) in each metro.
Sorry, getting off my soapbox. Just want to point out that
