In the midst of all this hurricane drama with Harvey and Irma, here was a notable record in the city with the most boring climate in U.S.: San Francisco set it's all time record high of 106F on Saturday, September 2nd. A city where literally nothing is air conditioned because July often feels colder than winter due to fog and wind and household heating is probably equally used in July as it is used in January (winters never go below freezing).
That's right: San Francisco with frequent summer temperatures in the 50s during daylight hours has an all time record higher than most of the U.S. South now. Very Melbourne-esque.
Lol someone already updated the weatherbox. Apparently the previous record was 103°F (39.4°C) back in 2000, and before that 102°F (38.9°C) in 1987, so 1 degree in 13 years and 3 degrees in 17 years. I wonder how high can it go in the next 10 years.
What I find really interesting is than San Francisco can get really hot temperatures but the same deviation on the cold side is impossible. For instance if we take the average coldest low in the coldest month and added the same deviation to the cold side as the warm side, you would get a record low of -12C (10F) which as we all.know in SF is impossible. Very Melbournesque indeed!

When the positive deviation is way higher than the negative, it just means that the positive doesn't occur as often as the negative does

I'm not sure about that. We definitely get higher positive deviations than negative ones and the former seems to occur more often. A high of 11C in July would be much more unusual than a high of 31C in July even though both are around 10C from the average. And a high a few degrees below average feels more cold than a high a few degrees above average feels warm. But maybe that's just me.
