Sacramento in June
Good time to visit

All Months
March through May brings perfect weather — 70s during the day, cool evenings, and everything blooms. The almond trees flower in February if you time it right. Fall runs September through November with similar temps and harvest season at nearby wineries. Summer? Brutal. July and August hit 100+ degrees regularly, and the Central Valley heat feels oppressive. But hotel rates drop by half, and you'll have the American River to yourself. Winter stays mild (50s-60s) with occasional rain. The State Capitol Christmas tree lighting in December draws crowds, and restaurant patios stay open year-round. Avoid major legislative sessions in spring and fall when hotel prices spike and downtown gets crowded with lobbyists.
