A Note on the Weather

The weather in northern California in late April is wonderful, though evenings can be a little cool. Daytime temperatures are usually in the low 70s, with the temperature dipping down to the upper 40s at night. The rainy season will be just about over, but there is a small chance of rain this time of year. A lightweight water-repellant jacket will likely make your stay more pleasant.
