SPRING in
the Napa Valley is full of the promises of pleasures to come. The
air is fresh and fragrant with wild flowers, buds and blossoms. The
mornings and evenings are crisp while the days offer pleasant temperatures
and abundant sunshine. In Calistoga, the weather at this time of year
is perfect for taking advantage of exceptional hiking and biking trails
as well as just strolling around town. The average Spring temperature
in Calistoga is 72 degrees, great for that weekend getaway to the
wine country. Moreover, the rainy season usually ends by April 15,
and chances are excellent that you will have dry conditions for your
trip to Napa Valley.
SUMMER offers
a tapestry of green hues as the grapevines mature. During the summer
months the temperatures in the Napa Valley vary greatly from those
in San Francisco. While one may experience chilly foggy days and nights
in San Francisco during the summer, a short drive to the Napa Valley
will reward with average daytime temperatures in the 90's with very
temperate nights.
The summer sky is virtually always blue and cloudless, and there is almost zero chance of rain from June through mid-September. Visitors from the east will immediately notice that the air is dry, and rarely humid. Napa Valley summer nights are almost invariably cool, with temperatures in the comfortable 55-65 degree range, so most often there is little need for air conditioning while you sleep. It is no wonder that the Napa Valley has been a favorite destination since the 1800's when Robert Louis Stevenson immortalized Calistoga and sang it's praises in his book "The Silverado Squatters".
