Editing Lake Arrowhead, California (section)

==Climate==
The Lake Arrowhead Community has a unique climate for Southern California with four distinct seasons which support an array of outdoor recreational activity and year-round beauty. Lake Arrowhead has a Warm-summer [[Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Csb''). During the summer, warm temperatures and monsoon thunderstorms are common. During the winter months, large pacific storms bring plenty of snow. The area receives about 300 annual days of sunshine per year. Beginning in late 2011, a catastrophic drought began affecting Lake Arrowhead along with the rest of California. By November 2016, the lake level dropped {{convert|11.975|ft|m}}. This drop exposed much of the lake floor and beached most of the docks.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arrowhead Lake Association |url=http://www2.ala-ca.org/mapper/lake.level |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200220144920/http://www2.ala-ca.org/mapper/lake.level |archive-date=20 February 2020 |website=ala-ca.org}}</ref> As of February 2019, the lake has rebounded to just {{convert|2|ft|m}} below the historical average.
