Climate Insight: Bodega, CA
The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Bodega, California as a location with an annual average temperature of 54°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 59°F to a mean daily low of 48°F. September is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USW00093245, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Bodega sees about 28.9 inches of precipitation a year, predominantly as rainfall. The frost-free season averages 364 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near January 1 and the first fall freeze near December 31. On the energy side, 4,188 heating degree days and 4 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Bodega scores 75/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, September-driven heat at the peak of summer, and December-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
