Wild exaggeration, not so. In an average year Paradise will experience 60-65 days when the temperature will be 90 or above, most of them in July and August. Days of 100 are rare. Below is a good link with extensive climatic data going back more than half a century for Paradise and almost every other city or town of any size in the West.

I live here - all those speculators are wrong - I have been here 6 years and it's 100* in the summer. This place has the worst weather of anywhere I have lived, soon as the heat goes it will be freezing and snowing...there are 2-3 months worth of nice weather here each year.

You are right, I wonder why none of us picked up that but as far as the weather in Paradise, you are all wet. It is rarely anywhere near 100 degrees, certainly not all summer and the winters although frosty are really sunny and very nice much of the time. I guess you have never lived anywhere with really cool wintersa and hot summers. Paradise has great weather overall with almost no snow.

I live here it gets 100* all summer long - I don't go by charts I go by living here.
almost no snow you say ? it snows all the time here in the winter and is gloomy most of the year.
We just had 6 months of straight gloom and now we will have a very short spring then it will heat up
it's so hot I could not enjoy my convertible.

The weather here is so bad from one extreme to the next I am moving to the Central Coast.

From Bakersfield all the way to Redding in The Central Valley and Paradise is just 10 minutes from
all that heat in Chico...at least in Chico it don't snow.

Just a week or two ago we had a hail storm here in Paradise...

The weather here is not desirable at all.

I own property in Paradise, my parents lived there for many years, I have been there for days on end everytime of the year. Hail storms are nothing like snow. I have never seen it snow when temps are in the 80s and I have never seen hail when the temps are in the 30s. It does not snow all the time in Paradise and no, the summers are not 100 degrees all summer. I think you are smoking too much of something. You may not like the weather, that is your choice, but to exagerate makes you look pretty silly. I have seen snow in Paradise a few times ( I am not talking an occassional snow shower at the higher elevations outside of Paradise, I am talking Paradise itself) I have seen maybe one day where the temps hit 100 degress. Yes, you did have a heavy snow or heavy for the area in Feb. This can happen almost anythere. We usually get about 8 inches of snow a year but got closer to 30 this year, but not even here could it be said it snows all winter. You had a bad year.

have any more insults ? I have been here everyday for 6 years, this place is for the dead and dying.

You saw one day of 100* ? I think you are the one smoking something...better not get caught in Arky they will cut your balls off if you have any.

with all these trees here in *Paradise* you would think some of the birds knew how to sing...not the case they are as dysfunctional as the rest of the zeroes here.

good thing I didn't buy anything here....6 years ago i sold my home in San Jose
and have been waiting all this time to buy something, I have been all over California looking
and decided The Central Coast would be for me.

you can have it, this place is going to all burn up anyways, 2 years ago we almost did
burn up, we had Fire trucks from all over California here...I saw one from Beverly Hills !

I guess the last 5 years have been bad all over the country.

If the weather was not so messed up here with the heat and snow I might wait for the double dip to come...
Nah this place is for the dead and dying...I want to live.
