Santa Maria, on California’s central coast, is mainly known for two things: 1. boring weather 2. Its unique style of barbecue, Santa Maria–style barbecue Santa Maria–style barbecue consists of grilling tri-tip over coast live oak coals.    |

BBQ looks good except for the burnt bread.
As for the climate, it is insanely boring although comfortable.

*falls asleep at desk from looking at that climate table because you've found the one thing in the world more boring than my job*
Only slightly interesting thing is that the record high is in June while the highest mean maxes are in Sept and Oct.

Great climate for grilling, but meh for SoCal, it's a B+. It's a dry, foggy, laggy, mild, stormless version of my dream climate. Take away all the things that are interesting about it plus add in fog and you're left with a comfortable, stripped down mild semiard climate, like Santa María.

surprised you gave a climate this cool such a high rating It lacks actual cold, and summers are dry. Lack of real warmth gives it the B- |

Rainfall exceeds evaporation in Santa Maria, so it's not semi-arid Nah, it's still a generally mild to warm and decently sunny climate. In SoCal you need like 17" of annual rainfall to be truly Mediterranean, even 20" in the places with hot summers. |

Rainfall=336 mm Evap per Koppen=296 mm |

Per Koppen, evap is 296 mm, and rainfall is 336 mm, last I checked 336 is more than 296 smh Sorry, but there is no hope in hell that that broken climate classification system can predict evapotranspiration. We have much better methods of measuring evaporation now and it turns out there is more evaporation in just two summer months alone than that fantasy Koppen number. Annual Penman evapotranspiration at the nearest RAWS (Vandenberg) is on the order of 50" to 60", roughly 4x annual precipitation. It's an extremely arid climate. Koppen considering winter rain being more valuable to vegetation than summer rain should be enough for anyone to disregard the climate classification entirely, especially if you understand a bit about botany. |

I wouldn't say extremely arid, more like semi-arid |
