Corte Madera in August
Great time to visit
August extends July's perfection with maybe even more consistent weather. But you'll pay for it in both crowds and costs.
Weather
August continues July's pattern with perhaps even more reliable sunshine. The marine layer becomes clockwork - burning off by noon, returning around 4 PM. Inland areas can get quite warm while waterfront stays comfortable. Still bone dry.

All Months
April through October gives you the best weather, with warm days and cool evenings perfect for outdoor dining. Summer brings fog that rolls in from the coast most afternoons, but it usually burns off by mid-morning. The farmers market runs year-round, but the best selection happens during harvest season from August through October. Winter gets rainy but rarely cold — temperatures stay in the 50s and 60s. This is actually a great time to visit if you're focused on shopping and indoor activities, plus hotel rates drop. Spring wildflower season in nearby parks peaks around March and April. Avoid major shopping weekends like Black Friday unless you enjoy crowds — The Village gets packed with shoppers from across the Bay Area.
