Sacramento area residents enjoy a very mild climate with an abundance of sunshine with a very low humidity. The summers are very dry, with little or no rain and the days are warm with pleasant evenings. The Summer daytime temperatures may go over 100 degrees, although the average high for July (the warmest month) is 93 degrees. You must take into consideration, however, the extremely low relative humidity when comparing climate of cities in more humid regions. The entire Sacramento Valley experiences fairly moderate winters because of the High Sierras surrounding them. Although winter temperatures can dip into the 20′s, 45 to 50 degrees is the average winter temperature. The rainy season from November through March is when three fourths of the rainfalls. Rain falls in measurable amounts only nine days out of the month during this period.

Although torrential rainstorms and heavy snows are common in the Sierra and Cascade mountain ranges surrounding the area, excessive rainfall and snow quite rare in the valley. Heavy fog occurs mostly during midwinter; however a low lying, early morning “tule fog” can occur any time during the wet, cold season and drivers should use caution.
