Vajrapani experiences the Mediterranean type climate typical of most of California, with the majority of our annual precipitation falling between November and April. The redwoods thrive in the constant mild humidity which can make the high temperatures seem higher, and the low temperatures seem lower.
The temperature varies between seasons too, in average summers getting into the high 90’s and in winters getting into the low 40’s and 50’s.
Spring and Summer: expect comfortably cool nights, warm to hot sunny days and cool breezes.
Fall and Winter: expect cold nights, cool rainy days or overcast skies.
