California's coastal regions, the Sierra Nevada foothills, and much of the Central Valley have a Mediterranean climate, with warmer, drier weather in summer and cooler, wetter weather in winter. The influence of the ocean generally moderates temperature extremes, creating warmer winters and substantially cooler summers in coastal areas.
Climate Central’s “2023 Winter Package” graphic shows the average change in winter temperature between December and February, from 1970 to 2022.
A 2011 study projected that the frequency and magnitude of both maximum and minimum temperatures would increase significantly as a result of global warming. [13] According to the Fifth National Climate Assessment published in 2023, coastal states including California, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas are experiencing "more significant storms and extreme swings in precipitation".
Climate charts provide an overview of the climate in a particular place. The letters in the top row stand for months: January, February, etc. The bars and numbers convey the following information: The blue bars represent the average amount of precipitation (rain, snow etc.) that falls in each month. The blue numbers are the amount of ...
After several consecutive years of severe drought that climate scientists say were made worse because of rising global temperatures, California has been hit with an especially cold and wet winter ...
The rare mid-winter heat wave set several all-time records in the Bay Area and caused a heat advisory to be issued in the month of February around the Los Angeles area for the first time since ...
Historically, the warm phase of an El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) regime typically coincides with above-average precipitation across Southern California. [28] The above-average sea-surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean are largely responsible for this as the ocean acts as a rich moisture source for tropical moisture to ...
