4. Climate:  January snowfall in San Bernardino with Shandin Hills in the background.San Bernardino features a somewhat cooler version of a Mediterranean climate with cool to chilly winters (frost is common during this time of the year) and hot, dry summers. Relative to other areas in Southern California, winters are colder with frost and with chilly to cold morning temperatures common. As well, the particularly arid climate during the summer prevents tropospheric clouds from forming, meaning temperatures rise to what is considered Class Orange by the scientists at NOAA. Summer is also a lot warmer with the highest recorded summer temperature at 117 °F in 1971. In the winter, snow flurries occur upon occasion. San Bernardino gets an average of 16 inches of rain, hail, or light snow showers each year. Arrowhead Springs, San Bernardino's northern-most neighborhood, gets snow, heavily at times due to its elevation of about 3,000 feet above sea level.
