Summer brings heat inland, as high as 100 degrees in August. On the Coast, moderate 50's and 60's. In the winter, we get slightly more severe storms than the bay area, but essentially we have similar weather patterns. We have spectacular storms in the winter, punctuated by sunny brisk days. It tends to get very cold in the valleys, Generally we have rainy winters that start in late November, early, December and last til March or so.
Rain is punctuated by crystal clear days, and dramatic coastal panoramic views of the ocean.
When the whitecaps are low, it is possible to view the migrating Grey Whale. Every year the Pacific Gray Whale migrates 6,000-10,000 miles from Alaska to secluded lagoons in Mexico to breed and bear their young, then journey back to their feeding grounds in the Bering Sea.
