My point was that, although the interior of California can be very warm and dry, the coast is usually much cooler - hence, on a hot day in San Jose, it could be 96 degrees F, but take a 45 minute trip to Santa Cruz, and it's down into the mid-70s because of the cooling on-shore breeze. Typically, the air is much mope moist as well - voila le fog ;-) ========== In California, Redwoods thrive in cooler coastal areas, and don't do as well elsewhere. They also don't do well without other Redwoods around them (as in a single Redwood). But to comment on this more I'd have to do research.
