Local know-how pays off in Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale runs a dry Mediterranean climate with warm, rainless summers and mild, damp winters. Heat is manageable rather than extreme, so walking is a year-round service, and the flat street grid plus the Stevens Creek Trail make efficient multi-stop rounds easy. Winter rain between November and March is the only real interruption.
When demand peaks
The Silicon Valley employer base drives it. Tech-conference clusters in May and September, summer travel to family in Asia from June through August, Lunar New Year in late January or early February, Thanksgiving and the December holidays are the five reliable peaks. Long-haul travel means long-stay boarding is more common here than a single weekend booking.
