Being open to the ocean air, without any hills to the west, the winds will be very high much of the time. Despite its southern location, it will recieve a respectable amount of rainfall every year. This northern city has a great position for rainfall, without a rainshadow and with a northern latitude. Temperatures will stay very mild all year, although it can break 100 with a high pressure system off the coast. Its location, a little farther inland gives way to the heating of the earth around it to create high temperatures especially in August.
Mountain cities have a very different dynamic than coastal or valley cities.
The altitude will severely affect the weather, and the mountains it is located on will also have an affect. The highest monthly high is 79 degrees in July, which, for its high altitude is quite high. In reality, these mountainous areas are the most distictly different climate in California, setting themselves apart from the rest. Although it lies in the same valley as Bakersfield, the Stockton area has an annual temperature of about five full degrees less, and has about 8 more inches of rainfall per year. This can be attributed to being closer to the bay and delta, but more importantly, it is much farther north.
