CLIMATE
|
At 4500 feet altitude, the Reno
area offers four distinct seasons with few extremes.
Average temperatures range from winter lows in the
20's to summer highs in the 90's. Low humidity
characterizes the area, making the cool days seem
not so cold, and the warm days not so hot. Rain is
scarce (fewer than eight inches on average
annually), as are cloudy days. Snow, however, is
certain (23.5 inches on average per year), though it
tends to melt by late afternoon in the valleys.
Here, the sun shines more than 300 days a year,
providing warm days, cool nights and blue skies.
