Redwood groves
Spring remains part of the wetter season. Rain gear and an alternative grove route matter more than an assumed dry trail.

Redwood weather in March
March’s normal high is 57°F and low is 40°F, with 10.65 inches of precipitation. The Klamath station sits at about 28 ft near the Klamath River mouth, near the middle of the parks' 50 miles of coast, so it stands in for the coastal lowland along U.S. 101. NPS says summer brings cool coastal temperatures with frequent fog, while inland areas are typically warmer with clearer skies, and the Bald Hills get much hotter in summer than the coast. The station's snowfall normals are zero.

How we built this page.
An independent guide using official data. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Park Service.
- Crowds
- 2021–2025 monthly averages. NPS recreation visits, compared with the park’s own busiest month. Visits are not unique visitors or a count of people on a trail.
- Weather
- 1991-2020 climate normals. NOAA’s Klamath, CA station. These describe typical weather at the station, not every part of the park or a forecast.
- Roads & lodging
- Normal seasonal schedules. NPS guidance and official operator information. Confirm access, hours and availability before you travel.
Historical records and data-quality checks
- Visit history: 1979–2025 NPS monthly recreation visits.
- Weather history: 1948–2025 daily observations, separate from climate normals. We average daily highs and lows and total the rain for each month.
- Complete months only: every day must pass our quality checks for that metric. Missing or incomplete records stay blank; we never interpolate.
- Excluded measurements: flagged, presumed-zero and lagged values. Trace rain counts as zero measurable rainfall.
