Cabo San Lucas has an arid climate.
During summer, Cabo San Lucas is cooler than San José del Cabo by about 3 °F to 5 °F. Sometimes during the summer, when winds blow from the Pacific Ocean instead of the Gulf of California, the differences in temperatures between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas are higher.
Cabo San Lucas is less rainy than San José del Cabo, although hurricanes can bring heavy rain for long periods. Because of the position of the city and orography, the local summer thunderstorms do not get near enough to bring rain to the town.
Due to the coastline being entirely exposed to the Pacific Ocean, the water temperature never reaches the same highs as in the state capital La Paz. The sea temperature experiences lows of 64–68 °F (18–20 °C) in winter, and highs of 75–79 °F (24–26 °C) during the summer months.

Famous quotes containing the word climate:
“When we consider how much climate contributes to the happiness of our condition, by the fine sensation it excites, and the productions it is the parent of, we have reason to value highly the accident of birth in such a one as that of Virginia.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The climate has been described as “ten months winter and two months mighty late in the fall.””
—Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
