What’s the weather like in California in April?
From the beaches of Santa Monica to the heights of the Sierra Nevada, the state of California encompasses all kinds of terrains, with each bringing their own weather systems. While the coastal regions enjoy a Mediterranean climate, there are desert conditions in Death Valley and other south eastern areas, so Californian weather depends entirely on where you’re visiting. In April, the coastal regions are generally quite warm with cooler conditions in Lake Tahoe and Eureka.Averages
