Continental/Mediterranean - Lake Tahoe experiences four distinct seasons with cold, snowy winters and warm, dry summers. The lake's elevation and mountain surroundings create a unique microclimate with significant temperature variations.
Summer (June to August) and Winter (December to March)
Summer offers ideal weather for water activities, hiking, and sightseeing, while winter brings excellent skiing and snowboarding conditions. Both seasons are popular for different reasons.
Spring (April to May) and Fall (September to November)
Shoulder seasons offer fewer crowds and pleasant weather for outdoor activities, though some facilities may be closing or opening. Fall foliage and spring blooms are particularly beautiful.
