Weather around Sacramento
Sacramento is between the Sierra and the coast, and both are an escape from the valley's summer heat. Truckee and South Lake Tahoe sit far above the valley and are often 10 degrees cooler or more, while the coast at Bodega Bay and Half Moon Bay is cool and often foggy.
In winter the order flips. The valley can sit under a gray tule fog for days, while the foothills around Placerville and Grass Valley are clear above it. The Sierra passes can close or need chains, and the drive times here do not know that.
How we pick
"Good" means a high from 55F to 88F, a forecast of sun or clouds, and at most a 30% chance of rain or snow, with no thunderstorm, dangerous heat or cold, strong gusts or smoke. "Mixed" means one day is good and the other isn't. Picks are ordered by that, then by the forecast and how much of a destination the town is.
Drive times start at the center of Sacramento and go to the center of each town. They come from a table built on OpenStreetMap and do not include traffic or seasonal road closures.
