This poll is only for those who live in San Francisco or on another coastal location in the Bay Area: do you use any sort of household heating summer? I'm trying to settle something for a debate on the weather forum. If you live inland, you can comment but don't vote in the poll.

I turned on my heat a few weeks back and considered it briefly yesterday (but I also have a cold right now).

I live in SF and have not turned the heat on since 2007, even in winter!

When I lived in the sunset there were summer evenings that I ran the heater. That was not typical but it was not unheard of either.

I also live in San Francisco, and would guesstimate that I run my heater about thirty hours a year, in winter only.

It really needs to get below 50F for a few hours before heat is needed. That only happens Fall, Winter, Spring. And coincidentally, physics says that can't happen when there is marine layer (because the ocean here never dips below 50F, let alone about 54F. More typically it hangs at 58 - 59F).

We run the heat daily, but mainly just in the mornings. With cool evenings our apartment can get down to 59-60 degrees inside, and that's just a bit too chilly to wander around in once we've awakened. Part of the issue is that our only gas heater is in our bedroom and we've got to open both doors to let the heat circulate. The other issue is that our building is 115 years old.

I live in SF, and I only need indoor heat or to dress warm indoors when the temperature gets into somewhere around the very low 40s F, definitely into the 30s. That's usually winter, but I don't think I've used a heater in years.

Right now, it's almost 1:15 am, around 55F, but I feel warm. The daily afternoon temperatures have been upper 60s lately, sometimes maybe very low 70s, and to me that's hot weather.
