Things to Bring

WEATHER

In September, the average high is a warm 76.2°F and the average low is a chilly 43.5°F. Early in the month, however, it can become quite hot during the middle of the day (the recorded high is 103°F) so you should be prepared for the usual wide range in temperatures in a typical day in Northern California.
