Where should you go in California in january when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in California in january ranges from good to very bad depending on the region and city.
It is not ideal 100%, but the weather in California that month is, according to seasonal norms, pretty good in Los Angeles , Morro Bay, Lompoc, Carlsbad, Palm Springs, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Malibu, Temecula, Huntington Beach, Santa Monica, Newport Beach, Oxnard, Hollywood, San Luis Obispo, Joshua Tree National Park, San Clemente, Chula Vista, San Bernardino, San Diego and Topanga. I allows to enjoy sightseeing in these locations. And even why not take a little time to relax under the sun!
If you do not go lazing in the sun, but, for example to go sightseeing, the cities of Sacramento, Bakersfield, Death Valley National Park, San Francisco, Bodega Bay, Moss Beach, Visalia, Napa Valley, San Jose, Pacific Grove, Fort Bragg and Redding have a decent enough weather for that in january. Eventually, avoid going in the cities of Lake Tahoe, McKinleyville, Yosemite National Park, Mammoth Lakes, Lone Pine and Big Pine that month because the climate is rather bad.
