Climate Insight: Manzanita Lake, CA
The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Manzanita Lake, California as a location with an annual average temperature of 45°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 57°F to a mean daily low of 32°F. July is typically the warmest month of the year, while December is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00045311, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Manzanita Lake receives roughly 42.1 inches of precipitation each year, predominantly as rainfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate, with the last spring freeze near June 9 and the first fall freeze near September 21. For energy use, 7,527 heating degree days and 84 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Manzanita Lake scores 57/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows — shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for December-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
