The capital city is Sacramento:萨克拉门托 . Californias climate varies from Mediterranean to subarctic. Much of the state has a Mediterranean climate, with cool, rainy winters and dry summers. The cool California Current offshore often creates summer fog near the coast. Further inland, one encounters colder winters and hotter summers. Northern parts of the state average higher annual rainfall than the south. Californias mountain ranges influence the climate as well: some of the rainiest parts of the state are west-facing mountain slopes. Northwestern California has a temperate climate, and the Central Valley has a Mediterranean climate but with greater temperature extremes than the coast. The high mountains, including the Sierra Nevada, have a mountain climate with snow in winter and mild to moderate heat in summer. The east side of Californias mountains produce a rain shadow, creating expansive deserts. The higher elevation deserts of eastern California see hot summers and cold winters, while the low deserts east of the southern California mountains experience hot summers and nearly frostless mild winters. Death Valley, a desert with large expanses below sea level, is considered the hottest location in North America; the highest temperature in the Western Hemisphere, , was recorded there on July 10, 1913. 加利福尼亚的气候变化，从地中海到亚北极。 许多国家有地中海气候，凉爽，多雨的冬季和夏季干燥。加利福尼亚寒流离岸往往造成夏季雾海岸附近。深入内陆，一遇到寒冷的冬天和炎热的夏天。 国家的北部地区平均年降雨量比南方高。加利福尼亚
