Hints and tips

Sacramento has a Mediterranean climate, which means mild temperatures throughout the summer and cool winters. Temperatures in January and December average around 46 degrees, while temperatures in July average around 75 degrees. The lack of precipitation and quite comfortable temperatures in the summer, make this the ideal time of year to visit. In fact, precipitation is so scarce in the months of July through September that Sacramento holds the distinction of being the sunniest location on the planet.
