The climate of Tahoe City (California
- United States of America)
Tahoe City is also known as Sunnyside and is located in the eastern
part of California in Placer County. Tahoe City is part of the
Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Roseville Metropolitan Statistical Area. Tahoe
City is located on the northwest bank of Lake Tahoe. Placer County is
located in the Sierra Nevada and used to be known as Gold County.
Prior to the arrival of gold diggers the region was home to the
Nisenan Indians. The Indian camps were rebuilt and are an important
tourist attraction nowadays. The old gold mines can also be visited.
Lake Tahoe strongly influences the climate and causes it to be milder
here than in the rest of the Sierra Nevada. The presence of the lake
also causes precipitation figures to be slightly higher. However,
precipitation figures are not as high as on the west side of the lake.
During the winter most precipitation falls in the form of snow.
Winters may be very cold. Temperatures may not rise above freezing
point for weeks in a row.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
