The northern half of the Central Valley (and the coastal ranges to the west) have some of the strongest diurnal temperature variations on Earth.

Average high/average low for July:

Sacramento - 92/59 (yes, the average morning in July is under 60 F!)

Fresno - 97/69
Redding - 99/67
Oakland - 71/56
San Francisco - 66/54

Chicago - 85/68
New York - 84/70 (the average overnight in NYC in July won't even fall to the 60s)

Actually, looking at how quickly Sac cools overnight, maybe I was too quick to write it off personally...

Lastly, Hayfork, California in Trinity County:
July average high of 93 F
July average low of 44 F
An average variation of 49 degrees!
