Climate characteristics of San Francisco

The San Francisco Peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides and is affected by the California cold current in the Pacific Ocean. San Francisco has a typical Mediterranean climate with cool summers. Due to the long-term influence of sea breeze, the daily high temperature in San Francisco in summer is usually only about 20 degrees Celsius (℃), and only about one week a year will exceed 30℃ due to the influence of strong land winds. September is the warmest month.

At the same time, because the water temperature in the Pacific Ocean is between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius all year round, it may drop below 10 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night in summer. Because San Francisco is close to the seaside and the Golden Gate Strait, it is often affected by fog in the late night and morning. However, there is very little rainfall in the summer, and the rainy season is from January to April. Although the winter is cold, there is little snowfall.
