Corte Madera in December

Not the best time

December trades perfect weather for holiday charm and lower prices. It's cozy and festive, just don't expect much sunshine.

Weather

December brings Corte Madera's winter pattern with frequent light rain, cooler temperatures, and shorter days. The weather can be moody - sunny and pleasant one day, gray and drizzly the next. Marine layer becomes less common as storm systems dominate.

December Tips

  • Perfect month for cozy indoor dining and spa treatments
  • Holiday decorations make the Village at Corte Madera worth visiting

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.
