You are wrong
California has four main climate regions and 3 climate zones. The zones are a subtropical climate zone, a hot tropical climate zone which is Southern California, and
the temperate climate zone Which is Northern California. The Climate regions are as follows Northern California, Pacific North West climate, Central Calfornia climate, Southern California climate, Pacific South West Climate. California also has a Mediterranean climate.
Northern & Southern Calif
I totally agree. Our Southern Calif climate is not like that of San Francisco and points farther north. In SoCal, we have a Mediterranean climate, and except for occasional heat during July to Sept, it is very pleasant.
I think your close ...
Southern California does have semi-Mediterranean climate, but in cities that are next to the ocean. Inland temperatures and precipitation typically mirror those of a more arid, desert climate with lower precipitation and colder temperatures in winter and much drier and hotter temperatures in summer. The California area has such varied climates that are not far from one another, it’s interesting to live there, ridiculously expensive yes, but still a great place to live (if you avoid the traffic :) ).
Change your Definition
I'm am right on board with the writer of "CHANGE YOUR DEFINITION OF PACIFIC SW". There are two completely different halves of California climate. Los Banos to North have a wetter climate, cooler temps and plenty of water. From Los Banos South the climate is dry with hotter temps and lack of water.
Riverside County
What kind of weather can the Riverside county expect from October 2019 into January 2020? Last year we had a very nice and unusually chilly Thanksgiving holiday. I was just wondering if we should expect the same this year. Please advise/thank you!!!
Up coming 2019 & 2020 rainfall
Can't you give us an idea of our 2019 & 2020 rainfall for San Francisco Calif.? Just an idea---
Thank You
Rain prediction in San Francisci Ca November 2019
Planning a homeless outreach in San Francisco Ca on September 16, 2019 and would like to know the prediction of rain. Thank you
Winter 2018-2019 rainfall
Winter rainfall for the south turned out to be inaccurate and just the opposite of what you predicted. Rainfall in California was actually ABOVE normal, so much so that it ended the drought all over the state.
Amy you are wrong
The drought actually ended in 2017.
Northern California
Actually the drought ended in March of 2019. I agree that California should be split up into different climates. In Northern California, we have the rains that fill up our lakes and rivers and go through the delta down south. I weather is closer to southern Oregon's weather. If I go by what is listed it is wrong. It didn't predict snowmageddon that dumped so much snow on us after our wildfires left our soil unprotected.
