It's right on the Pacific coast, right? All those sea breezes...

The Pacific North West natural temperatures generally run from the 50s-70s for daily highs. When it gets in the 70s all the locals complain like it's the end of the world. OMG it's so hot I can barely take it... Meanwhile 72 F is considered the ideal temperature for comfort by much of humanity. Bunch of pussies. ANTIFA tends to go out in the woods to set forest fires so that the region can inhale smoke for several months. In the summer the sun comes up at like 5 AM and sets at 9 PM. It's annoying. In the winter the sun technically rises at like 8 AM and sets at 4 PM but the sun never really rises because it's always grey and generally rainy.

San Diego is right on the Pacific coast, but is generally warm. San Francisco is far enough north of that to usually be cool on the coast, yet just across the bay in Oakland it is much warmer. It feels strange to drive the short distance across the bay and feel the temperature rising as you do.

It’s definitely on the cooler side. Even for the summer months so if you’re planning on travelling soon, pak some light jackets.

Even in the summer, nights are fairly cool. It's often quite windy.

Yes, San Francisco's weather is generally cool, even in summer. Being right on the Pacific coast, it does benefit from those chilly sea breezes. The famous fog, known as Karl, also contributes to the cooler climate. Remember to pack layers as the weather can vary throughout the day! 🌊🌁

SF weather is similar to SF politics- different from the rest of the world. Summers can be cold, autumn is often warmest and best weather. Winter & early spring chilly and wet, late spring, all over the place. Small geographically but due to mountain ranges fog wind can make it seem freezing at times. Always best to have layers of light clothing a light shirt ( or dress equivalent), light sweater and- esp. during summer, a light jacket that can work as a wind breaker. Specific area of SF- and entire Bay Area all micro climates so e. g. close to ocean ( usually referred to as the Avenues) almost always foggy and cold. Around Fisherman's wharf, Pier 39 etc. slightly sunnier & warmer. Mission are, pretty cold, Downtown, not usually as cold as Avenues but still windy. Union St. warmer.

If you know area and or any info about where you will be & time of year and want to write either publicly or privately for specifics, feel free.

Well San Francisco it mostly a northern part of California and it is on the Pacific Ocean coast do during and it gets pretty cool at night. It might be pretty cool during the winter and spring time but I am sure it can get pretty hot there too.

Noticeably cooler than LA or San Diego. Too bad it's degraded into such a craphole, though.
