South Bay Today
Sunday, May 31, 2026
☀️ 50°F sunny · high 82°, low 50°
Clear and warming to 82, with a full moon climbing in at the back end of the day. Sunday's calendar runs heavy on stage shows and cultural festivals, with a couple of strong family options before noon. Most of the marquee items hit between 2 and 6 PM, so pick one and build around it.
