It's very hot and humid in the summer and it can get so foggy that you can't see the yellow lines on the road in the winter. It doesn't snow in the winter, but it rains. It can get up to like 107, but I think that would be unusual - however, 102 wouldn't be that unusual. You get used to it though.

The fog is worse if you live in the country than if you live in town. Also, the University of California is supposed to be putting a campus there - I don't know if it's going or not yet. That should give it a little bit of culture, but...over all, Merced is lacking in culture.
