Weather

The weather varies a bit from town to town along this stretch of southern gold mining towns. Generally the summers are warm to quite hot and very dry. July through September are the months during the prime fire season. By this time of year the vegetation is very dry and will easily burn. The winters can be cold especially at nights. Some of the higher mining towns may receive several inches of snow. When the sun is out in the winter the days can actually warm up nicely. I have been in the southern mining town of Coulterville in the middle of December and I have been quite comfortable in shorts and a T-shirt. Usually the days are not this warm and jeans and a sweater would be preferred.
