Our average daytime temperature is 68 degrees, although we can top 100 degrees during the peak summer months. Most of the year is sunny, but winter does bring showers. We are below the snow line (altitude 335-480 feet above sea level), but the mountain ranges surrounding the Tri-Valley have been known to get a dusting or two during the winter. We recommend that you bring a sweater or light jacket to assure your comfort.
