Parts of San Jose are equivalent to semi-arid desert. In the summer, it was always very, very dry in the Almaden and Santa Cruz foothills. Go up The Dish in early October and see how yellow the grass is. The whole peninsula has "microclimates" with frequently changing weather and different climatic conditions. Perhaps if this happens for many years, the climate there is changing to be more like a desert. PS: some neat rocks and sort-of caves I wandered around when I was a kid.
