 | San Francisco Weather Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 18 |  |
Don't Get Blown Away! Being on the coast, San Francisco knows how to kick up a good wind. It is not uncommon for a strong wind to be present on an otherwise warm day. Don't be surprised if you are faced with the choice of wearing a jacket and boiling over or getting blasted by wind. Some locations are more likely to get windy; such as, Downtown and the Financial District where the high rises create wind tunnels, Civic Center (near Market Street and Van Ness Avenue), Ocean Beach, the Marina, Twin Peaks, and the deck of the Golden Gate Bridge. Due to the City's microclimates, it is common for one neighborhood to experience gusty winds while a nearby neighborhood has dead calm. You may want to bring a jacket when you head out on the town.

Visitors gazing at palm trees in photo albums of San Francisco may be surprised to learn that it is far from a subtropical paradise. Contrariwise, it can become quite cold and views well-obscured by a dense fog which rolls in during the late afternoon and lifts by morning, though it tends to linger closer to the ocean and on the Bay itself. Certain neighbourhoods, mostly on the city's east side, are more prone to sunshine than others. The Sunset in particular seems to be perennially fogged-in. Don't expect uninterrupted vistas or perfect, cloudless days to necessarily await your trip to San Francisco. Leave a Comment
