Spring is mostly wet, mild and often windy. Higher elevations are cooler with possible snow flurries. Temperatures usually range from 35 F to 60 F. Summer is generally fair and warm. Afternoon temperatures in the warmest summer months average from 65 F to 70 F, occasionally reaching 80 F. A temperature of 85 F is considered unusually warm. Night time temperatures can drop as low as 45 F. Frequently, during the latter half of the summer and early fall, fog banks and low clouds form over the ocean and move inland at night.
Fog sometimes disappears before mid-day.
On most summer afternoons near the water, a moderate to cool breeze can be expected. A few thunderstorms usually occur each summer, especially in the higher elevations. Normally very little rain falls during the summer months but it has also been known to rain for several days during this period. Fall is usually cool and wet with occasional winds. Early snow storms are possible in the mountains.
