Local Weather
One of the most unique things about California, besides its various terrains, is its weather. The large bodies of water, mountains, and hills up and down the state create differences in the geography of the state itself and in turn create a variety of microclimates. While the areas closer to the Pacific Ocean offer mild winters and cool summers, the inland areas separated from the coast by mountains or hills, have colder winter nights and hotter summers.
Mountain peaks over 2000 feet (including Mt. St. Helena, Mt. Hamilton, Mt. Diablo, and Mt. Tamalpais), are often sprinkled with snow several times each winter, although few residential areas ever see it on their front steps. Some winters have brought a little hail, but nothing more than a quick storm.
The northern coast of the Bay Area is cloaked in year-round moisture that enables the beautiful ancient redwoods to grow; a vast difference from Livermore, a city just 40 miles inland, which experiences desert-like heat and precipitation.
The southern end of the Bay Area, with cities such as San Jose, sees fewer than 15 inches of rain annually, on average. However, just a few miles away, parts of the Santa Cruz Mountains average over 55 inches of rain a year. Cities such as Napa, at the northern end of the Bay Area are somewhere in the middle with an average of 30 inches.
When a hot spell is breaking down in the summer months, inland areas can be more than 40 degrees hotter than the Pacific coastline.
