San Jose's seasons, indoors

Indoors, the season shapes how you use each room. San Jose's warmest month is August, at an average high of 82.7°F, and its coldest nights come in December, at an average low of 42.8°F.

Highs stay at 80°F or more from June to September: the months when west and south rooms need shade in the afternoon.

Santa Clara, 10 miles away, has 16 days a year at 90°F or more, fewer than San Jose's 21.

Street-facing rooms

51% of homes are detached houses, where front rooms face the street. Tier-on-tier panels let you close the lower half for privacy and open the top for daylight.

Children’s rooms

Shutters have no cords. In Canada, corded window coverings have been regulated since May 1, 2021, and in the US the Consumer Product Safety Commission tells families to choose cordless window coverings.
