Yes.
Both.
It is hot in the sun and cold in the shade because of the breeze.
And in the fall when the days are crystal clear and the humidity is extremely low, there are big intra day temperature swings. It can be 75-80 in the afternoon and 50 in the evening after the sun goes down.

And I forgot to mention the micro climates. A number of CA cities are ringed by mountains. Temperatures are mild at the beach, hot in the low inland valleys, and cool in the mountains. There is an inland valley in San Diego that grows oranges and avocados. Twenty miles further inland, the altitude is 4220 feet and they grow apples. It is like Florida and Washington state being 20 miles apart.

This sounds like my idea of heaven.

I think lulilu's point might have been missed a bit. The way I read it is that she meant why were the mothers dressing in different seasons from the babies. Not that she was confused by why one was dressed in different season oneself.

That may be a fashion choice but people can be in different climates when they are 5 feet apart. If the child is playing in a pleasant sun, the child can be comfortable, but if the mother is sitting on a bench in the shade, she would be freezing. And people carry clothes to layer up and layer down.

Yes, I am talking about IG photos of women walking down the street with their children, and each appears to be dressed for different weather, e.g., mom in jeans and leather jacket and kiddie in a sun dress. It seems to be only
in SoCal.

I do see this all the time I can't explain it maybe the mom is dressed for a colder office environment

I always have found California fashion confusing. There are photos of mothers in leather jackets dragging along a kid in a sundress -- is it hot or cold?

Freezing mostly!

It was one of these windy and chilly summer days. One couple were wearing down jackets and jeans while their infant napping in the stroller with two little legs hanging out in the cold wind! only an onesie for the little one. [emoji848]

At least I am not crazy! :nuts: I always enjoy LA weather, but I do tend to go in summer.

Actually the best thing I ever saw in parent and child combos was many years ago in Ventura. A biker couple tattooed and pierced wearing overalls and the two kids were dressed in conventional clothing like they had just gone to Sunday School. Wish I had a picture to show you.

You are definitely not crazy! I think the kids are so active that they don't need the extra clothing because their body heat is greater.
