All Months
Spring hits Winters hard and beautiful. March through May brings almond blossoms, wildflower carpets, and perfect 70-degree days. Summer gets brutally hot - we're talking 100+ degrees from June through August. But early mornings and evenings stay pleasant, and Putah Creek provides natural air conditioning. Fall delivers the sweet spot: harvest season energy, comfortable temperatures, and clear skies perfect for wine country day trips. September through November sees the town at its liveliest. Winter brings rain and 50-degree days - not unpleasant, but most outdoor activities shut down. The annual Almond Blossom Festival in February draws crowds despite chilly weather.
