DEMOGRAPHICS / CLIMATE

The Sacramento Valley and the sprawling counties that make up the metropolitan area offer many choices in topography and climate, from the mild weather of the urban lowlands to the abundant snowfall and delightful seasonal changes in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Generally, this region enjoys a mild climate with relatively low humidity where the days are comfortably warm, sunshine is abundant, and the nights are cool. Although the San Francisco Bay Area is easily accessible, the Sacramento Valley offers a seismically stable region that also lacks the deep fog and chill that prevails during much of the year in San Francisco.
