| Climate |
As would be expected in such a large and diverse
land area as California, the climate is varied. The
climate along the coast is mild; cooler along the
central and northern coast. Southeastern California is
hot and dry. Most of California is marked by only two
distinct seasons; a rainy season and a dry season. The
rainy season runs from October to April in northern
California and from November to March or April in
southern California.
Average yearly precipitation for California, from
1961 to 1990, is shown on this chart from Oregon State
University. |
