  Salinas, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Salinas is the county seat and largest municipality of Monterey County, California, and it is also known as the "Salad Bowl" of America.
Salinas enjoys cool and moderate temperatures doe to the "natural air conditioner" that conveys ocean air and fog in from the Monterey Bay to Salinas while towns to the north and south of Salinas experience hotter summers as mountains block the ocean air.
Thus Salinas weather is closer to that of the California central coast rather than that of inland valleys and thus enjoys a mild Mediterreanean climate with typical daily highs ranging from the low 50F's in the winter to the low 70'sF in the summer.
