Re: [pct-l] Yosemite in April



from http://www.nps.gov/yose/

CLIMATE, RECOMMENDED CLOTHING:
Weather can change rapidly during all seasons of the year.
Elevation plays a major role in temperature and
precipitation. Most of the moisture comes in the months of
January, February and March, and the winter climate is
relatively mild. Sierra summers are typically warm and dry.
April and November are transitional months, when warm, sunny
days can suddenly become stormy. Clouds can build up during
the summer to produce spectacular thunderstorm activity.
It is wise to pack for any season with clothing that can be
"layered", ready to peel off or add on as the thermometer
dictates. Always include some kind of rain gear.
