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:
“The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Is not their climate foggy, raw, and dull,
On whom, as in despite, the sun looks pale,
Killing their fruit with frowns?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
