Like many California coastal towns, Monterey has spectacular weather year round. Spring and fall are clear and sunny, and the summer months bring romantic morning fog that encases the landscape, burning off to clear skies in the afternoons. Winter ushers in a welcome average rainfall of 17 inches per year.
Evenings are cooler, and sweatshirts or a lightweight top layer are recommended for outdoor activities as it can cool off quickly once the sun goes down.
