What's weather like in Fresno, California?

Fresno is a small city in the San Joaquin Valley, in California. Fresno has beautiful mountain ranges, including Yosemite National Park. Fresno’s air quality is among the worst in the US because of its entrapment surrounded by these mountains. Fresno is 15% safer than some of California’s other cities with its crime rate. Fresno is in the valley, so it’s known for growing crops, mainly grapes and raisins. The weather in Fresno is usually very hot especially in the summer and because of climate change it seems as if heat waves are getting more intense.

When it comes to thriving in Fresno, it is important for a new resident to know how hot it can be during Summer. Also, there are many advantages to living the middle of California. We have access to the mountains and the beaches, both of which are two hours away.

It is hot here the majority of the year. Not Phoenix-hot, but hot enough to make most people uncomfortable. The city is setup to accommodate the heat (air conditioners everywhere, lots of indoor activities, and pools everywhere!) but it’s also more common than not to have outdoor shopping centers and large parking lots to trek through. Planning is important!
