Clothes For Layering: From sun to wet fog
Just bring clothers so that you can dress in layers. Mornings could be nice, mainly in the Mission were is almost sunny, but wet fog and wind can turn suddenly around 2pm so take with you a sweater or a good rain coat. Comfortable shoes too. Tram system is pretty good but, figure out to walk on crooked streets, mostly with steps too...

Clothes For Layering: From Dusk til Dawn
Just remember that SF always gets cool during the evening hours. Even if it is warm and mild during the day make sure you always carry a light sweater or jacket with you if you are going to spend the entire day on the go. You're going to do alot of walking so bring your comfy shoes.

Always bring your camera. There are photo opps everywhere.

Clothes For Layering: Watch out for the cooler evenings!
Make sure you pack a fleece or a cardigan as it often starts out bright and sunny but gets chiller in the afternoons/evening. Also if you are planning on going on the cable cars they can be a bit chilly!

Clothes For Layering: Be prepared for anything
One year, when I visited in early fall, I was ill prepared for the 98 degree heat wave. When I first visited in July, 1990, I was ill prepared for how cold summer in San Francisco could be. Lesson learned: bring a little bit of everything -- t-shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, light jacket, etc. It's also a good idea to layer, as the temperature can change drastically from morning when the fog has yet to lift, to midday, usually the warmest part of the day, to late afternoon and evening, when the fog in many areas of the city rolls back in.

Clothes For Layering: Don't forget your layers
Probably everyone has told you so already, but remember to bring some clothes for layering (undershirts, sweaters, light jackets) regardless of the time of the year. In summer, the fog usually rolls in at dusk and it gets very cold, VERY fast. Even if you are down in San Jose and decide to drive up for the evening, remember that there can be up to 30 degrees difference between the two cities (I took to leaving a jacket in my car trunk full time when I lived in San Jose, just in case I decided to drive up to the city on a whim). Winter is a bit more even, but it's cold throughout, 40s and such, so you may want to bring some sweaters and of course rain gear (from Dec to Feb we get all our rain here)

Clothes For Layering: Prepare for Cool Weather
Summer Fog Rolling in Over SF Bay - San Francisco

San Francisco is generally NOT hot in the summer. There is often fog, which can burn off in the middle of the day. Bring a sweater or light jacket that you can remove as the day goes on. Locals don't wear shorts in the City too often (unless they are exercising).

Clothes For Layering: COLD!
San Francisco is not nearly as warm as many people think, especially summers can be cooler, more windy and foggy than you'd expect. Bring layered clothing, a parka, a warm sweater will come very very handy. Forget about shorts, except on a sunny midday. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes for climbing those hills!

Clothes For Layering: Prepare for the Weather!
San Francisco's weather can change very quickly, and varies even within the city. When the fog rolls in the temps. can drop, so keep a fleece vest or sweater with you even on a beach day!
