Adrianna Klowak typically dry, sunny and about 32 degrees.This year there has been a little more rain than usual. It is usually windy most days as Dec thru mid Feb is the Windy season. But if it does rain it is usually only for 20 minutes and the wind is usually moderate. The stronger winds are late Dec and Jan.
