Typical of the [[San Francisco Bay Area]], Palo Alto has a [[Mediterranean climate]] with cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. Typically, in the warmer months, as the sun goes down, the fog bank flows over the foothills to the west and covers the night sky, thus creating a blanket that helps trap the summer warmth absorbed during the day. Even so, it is rare for the overnight low temperature to exceed {{convert|60|°F|°C|abbr=on}}.

In January, average temperatures range from {{convert|38.5|°F|°C|abbr=on}} to {{convert|57.4|°F|°C|abbr=on}}. In July, average temperatures range from {{convert|54.9|°F|°C|abbr=on}} to {{convert|78.4|°F|°C|abbr=on}}. The record high temperature was {{convert|107|°F|°C|abbr=on}} on June 15, 1961, and the record low temperature was {{convert|15|°F|°C|abbr=on}} on November 17, 2003. Temperatures reach {{convert|90|°F|0|abbr=on}} or higher on an average of 9.9 days. Temperatures drop to {{convert|32|°F|0|abbr=on}} or lower on an average of 16.1 days.
Due to the [[Santa Cruz Mountains]] to the west, there is a "[[rain shadow]]" in Palo Alto, resulting in an average annual rainfall of only {{convert|15.32|in|mm}}. Measurable rainfall occurs on an average of 57 days annually. The wettest year on record was 1983 with {{convert|32.51|in|mm}} and the driest year was 1976 with {{convert|7.34|in|mm}}. The most rainfall in one month was {{convert|12.43|in|mm}} in February 1998 and the most rainfall in one day was {{convert|3.75|in|mm}} on February 3, 1998. Measurable snowfall is very rare in Palo Alto, but {{convert|1.5|in|mm}} fell on January 21, 1962.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/summary/Climsmcca.html|title=Central California|work=dri.edu}}</ref>
