==Geography== [[File:Las Trampas Wilderness Regional Preserve 6.jpg|thumb|Danville photographed from [[Las Trampas Regional Wilderness]], with the foothills of [[Mount Diablo]] in the background]] Danville is set in a narrow section of the San Ramon Valley<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.calopps.org/town-of-danville | title=Danville | CalOpps }}</ref> with the [[Las Trampas Regional Wilderness|Las Trampas Ridge]] to the west and the [[Diablo Range]] to the east. The most prominent landmark of Danville is the backdrop of [[Mount Diablo]], which stands to the east at {{convert|3849|ft|m}} and provides a picturesque backdrop for Danville and neighboring towns and cities. [[Sycamore Creek (Contra Costa County)|Sycamore Creek]] drains some of the Mount Diablo slopes and flows through Danville. To the north of Danville, the unincorporated town of [[Alamo, California|Alamo]] sits in the uppermost reaches of the San Ramon Valley and extends into the surrounding hills. [[San Ramon, California|San Ramon]], another affluent suburb, borders Danville to the south. [[Interstate 680 (California)|Interstate 680]], extending along the valley to the north and south, is the main route used by traffic in and out of town. Camino Tassajara is the main thoroughfare for east–west travel, most importantly to reach the eastern subdivisions far from the interstate. Camino Tassajara also provides access to the wealthy gated community of [[Blackhawk, California|Blackhawk]]. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|18.0|sqmi|km2}}, all of it land. ===Climate=== Danville's weather typifies a [[Mediterranean climate]]. Summers are long, with hot days and cool nights. Winters are cool, with mild daytime temperatures usually in the 50s, and nighttime temperatures usually above freezing. Like in the rest of the [[San Francisco Bay Area|Bay Area]], summers in Danville are extremely dry, and it's not uncommon for four to six months to elapse between the last drop of rain in the spring and the first rain in the fall. Winters are rainy, but periods of several days to a week of mild, dry, sunny weather are quite common even in midwinter. {{Weather box|width=60% |location = Danville, California (1981–2010 normals) |single line = Y |Jan high F = 55.8 |Jan mean F = 47.5 |Jan low F = 39.2 |Jan precipitation inch = 4.86 |Feb high F = 60.4 |Feb mean F = 51.2 |Feb low F = 41.9 |Feb precipitation inch = 4.90 |Mar high F = 64.7 |Mar mean F = 54.2 |Mar low F = 43.6 |Mar precipitation inch = 3.67 |Apr high F = 69.4 |Apr mean F = 57.5 |Apr low F = 45.4 |Apr precipitation inch = 1.46 |May high F = 74.3 |May mean F = 62.0 |May low F = 49.7 |May precipitation inch = 0.88 |Jun high F = 79.5 |Jun mean F = 66.6 |Jun low F = 53.6 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.16 |Jul high F = 84.6 |Jul mean F = 70.2 |Jul low F = 55.9 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.03 |Aug high F = 84.1 |Aug mean F = 70.1 |Aug low F = 56.1 |Aug precipitation inch = 0.08 |Sep high F = 81.5 |Sep mean F = 68.3 |Sep low F = 55.0 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.20 |Oct high F = 74.6 |Oct mean F = 62.5 |Oct low F = 50.5 |Oct precipitation inch = 1.28 |Nov high F = 64.5 |Nov mean F = 54.2 |Nov low F = 44.0 |Nov precipitation inch = 3.06 |Dec high F = 56.3 |Dec mean F = 47.9 |Dec low F = 39.5 |Dec precipitation inch = 4.57 |year high F = 70.8 |year mean F = 59.3 |year low F = 47.9 |year precipitation inch = 25.14 |precipitation colour=green |source=PRISM Climate Group<ref name="PRISM">{{Cite web |url=http://www.prism.oregonstate.edu/explorer/ |publisher=Oregon State University |title=PRISM Climate Group |access-date=April 23, 2020 }} Input coordinates: 37.8243 N, 122.0003 W.</ref> }}
