Sausalito’s climate is classified as Mediterranean, but unlike warmer inland areas of California, the city is a little windier and chillier because of where it sits on the shore of San Francisco Bay. However, the offshore breezes and daily fog actually protect Sausalito from extreme cold temperatures that inland communities sometimes experience. The results are mild, wet, nearly frostless winters. The reverse is true in summer, when the breezes and fog create cooler temperatures in Sausalito, while inland cities could be sweltering. Average highs in Sausalito are usually in the 60s, with the hottest month of the year being September, with an average high of 70 degrees. Average lows run from the mid 40s to mid 50s, with the coldest months being December and January with an average temperature of 46 degrees
