Corte Madera in January
Not the best time
January is Corte Madera at its most moody - quiet, wet, and honestly a bit dreary. But hotel rates drop and you'll have hiking trails mostly to yourself when the rain breaks.
Weather
January brings Corte Madera's wettest weather with frequent rain showers and overcast skies. Temperatures stay mild but the humidity from Pacific storms makes it feel chillier than the thermometer suggests. You'll get maybe 5-6 hours of actual sunshine on a good day.

January Tips
- •Pack layers and a good rain jacket - the weather changes fast
- •Book restaurants early since many locals dine out more during the rainy season
- •Use this time to explore indoor attractions like the Village at Corte Madera shopping
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.
