Climate in Ensenada


JuteVilla
The average rainfall is 280 millimetres (11 in) per year, falling mainly in the winter months. Ensenada has a warm, dry Mediterranean climate, much like the rest of northwestern Baja California. During the colder months from November to February, rainfall is scarce and temperatures average 13°C. On the other hand the warmer months from June to September are the driest, and during this time maintain average temperature of 20°C. For Ensenada's warm summer coastal location, the city's climate is greatly affected by the offshore cold California Current. Due to the current, the late summer and early fall seasons are typically the warmest periods for the city. Santa Ana winds – observed in much of Southern California as well – are responsible for temperature rises at any time of the year. During Santa Ana's, wind direction changes and brings warm air from the interior to the coast. Although the city maintains a temperate maritime climate, in January 2007, Ensenada the hills south of the city were dealt with small amounts of snowfall.

Similar to the rest of the Gold Coast and South Coast of California, Ensenada experiences the periodic May Gray and June Gloom marine layer effects
