Just for a random data point, I googled the average high temp in Anaheim in January.  It's over 65°F.

I am probably less likely to notice when people wear shorts in colder weather, having spent the last few decades on college campuses in the north.  College students tend to stick with their shorts and even sandals longer into the fall and break them out earlier in the spring than your general population, and there are always some who are stay in shorts pretty much year round.

My wife spent a semester at college in Minnesota, and she used to trudge through the snow in flip-flops.
