Weather History

The coastal climate is moderate, rarely producing the low and high temperatures of nearby inland areas. Frost is rare and snow even rarer. A typical summer day forecast: Coastal morning low clouds (i.e. fog) clearing by mid-afternoon. Highs range from the mid 60s to 70s. Fall usually produces the sunniest and warmest weather. Winter months bring the major portion of rain, with mild and crystal clear days between storms. Spring is often windy, cool and clear.
