Climate in Thousand Oaks:
The region experiences a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Csa in the Köppen climate classification). Vegetation is typical of Mediterranean environments, with chaparral and grasses on the hillsides and numerous western valley oaks. Its elevation ranges from about 500 to 900 feet (excluding the mountains and hills). The area has slightly cooler temperatures than the surrounding areas, as it receives cooler air from the ocean through various hill and mountain passes. On March 10 and 11, 2006, snow fell on the peak of Boney Mountain, the first snow to fall in the area in about 20 years. Snow also fell on Boney Peak on December 17 and 18, 2008.

In line with the rest of coastal California, temperatures at solar noon tend to fluctuate between 70 and 80 °F (21 and 27 °C) during summer, and rarely drop below 60–65 °F (16–18 °C) during winter.
