Average Weather
As you can see from the chart, the Mendocino Coast tends to be on the cool side. It never gets really cold here, and it never gets really hot. The key to enjoying Mendocino is to dress in layers, so that you can adapt to the weather of the hour.

What is the humidity, please?

Today (July 23), it says 40% humidity at my house, about a half-mile inland from the ocean. It varies, depending on how the fog goes in and out. It’s not really a problem, though. The average high temperature for July and August is 65 degrees, so it really doesn’t get uncomfortable. I can’t remember the last really hot day, since it just isn’t a factor in the summer.
Having spent the first half of my life in Texas, I know how humidity is such a killer in the summer. Here, it’s basically irrelevant.

What’s the weather like in late October? My fiancee wants to get married around Halloween and she really liked Mendocino. I know the weather may not be the warmest, but is an outdoor wedding completely out of the question?

We typically have an Indian Summer in September into October — it’s absolutely gorgeous up here. The summer fogs usually clear up, and the weather is at its best until the rains start.
It all depends on when the rain actually starts. It usually holds off until November, especially in the last few years. But I have also seen 25-foot waves on Oct 31, and the storm that produced them. If it’s not raining, though, it’s likely to be pretty nice, with not a lot of wind.
Have a backup plan, but there’s a good chance it will be beautiful out. I should know about the backup — my outdoor wedding at the Grand Canyon went indoors after 8 inches of snow fell the night before.
