The climate of Trinidad is completely dominated by the Pacific Ocean with high humidity prevailing throughout the year. There are definite rainy and dry seasons. The rainy season lasts from October through April accounting for about 90 percent of the annual precipitation, averaging about 40 inches.
This weather pattern brings a Spring explosion of some of the most diverse wildflowers you are likely to find anywhere. The dry season, lasting from May through September, is typically marked by low clouds and fog which usually clear by late morning. Early afternoon is generally sunny with the low clouds moving back in by evening. The Fall weather can be absolute paradise, with still sunny days, warm temperatures, and calm ocean conditions. When the winter storms hit the Trinidad coast, you will find many people lining the headlands to watch these magnificent events. The winter swells travel hundreds of miles from the Gulf of Alaska, and often reach 25 to 30 feet in height!

Temperatures are quite moderate, and the annual range is one of the smallest in the lower 48 states. The record high in nearby Eureka is only 85°(F) while the record low is 20°(F). During a typical year, the colder lows are in the mid 30s and the warmer highs will reach the mid 70s.

While the immediate coast is largely affected by the cold Pacific Ocean, locations inland can have a much greater range of temperature. Areas just over the coastal mountains, or about 40 miles east of Trinidad can experience winter lows in the teens and summer highs above 110 degrees!
