California weather is depends largly on the cool california current in the Pacific Ocean. The weather is also dependent on whether the particular city is inland or coastal. Typically inland california tends to have hotter summers and cooler winters this applies to both northern and Southern California. The weather also depends on the elevation of the location. Most part of california from marin county and north typically receive much more rainfall than the bay area or southern california. Ill list July and december temps for cities from north to south. The rainfall for california overall is quite low as you could see excluding the very north of the state. Most of norcal even has quite a low precipitation especially near the bay area. Only the very north of the state has significant rainfall. Both norcal and socal deserts tend to have very extreme temperatures in the summer. California also has quite a lot of microclimates for example: San Jose and San francisco are only 45 miles away however their climates are so different.
