"Neither ... nor ..."
In this case,
I want to say, it doesn't rain in South California in summer and it doesn't in winter either.
So, I say "It doesn't rain in Southern California neither in summer nor in winter"
or "It doesn't rain in Southern California either in summer or in winter".
Which one is correct?

#2 is correct: It doesn't rain in Southern California either in summer or in winter.
#1 is incorrect because you are using a double negative, which is considered bad grammar in English.
It doesn't rain neither in summer nor in winter = It rains both in summer and in winter.
Eliot's example is a correct and more elegant way to say the same thing.
