261 sunny days a year
A great climate
Don’t take our word for it. Oakland's climate consistently gets high ratings because of our coastal location: We get warm, sunny days in the fall and spring, temperate winters, and foggy mornings and clear afternoons in the summer. Oakland gets an average of 261 sunny days per year. And we love them all. And if you like snow in the winter, you’ll find it just a few hours away.
