THE WEATHER
Santa Cruz County enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Warm sunny days turn into cool foggy nights, making the region perfect for artisanal, appellation specialty agriculture and wine grapes. Seasonally, the fog may burn off later in the morning or roll in earlier in the evening. Additionally, a variety of microclimates makes some parts of the county feel warmer than others. Dressing like a local means wearing layers of clothing during chillier months: a long-sleeved shirt with a sweatshirt and a light jacket should ensure that you can adjust your wardrobe as the weather changes. Sunglasses, a hat, and comfortable shoes if you’re planning to do some exploring are also a good idea.
