It's not abnormal, its completely normal for SF to have this much sunshine at this time of year. You just might expect 2 or 3 rainy days thrown in there too.
It's not facts you put down, averaging over 5 hours of sun a day even in the dullest month cannot be described as 'dreary' if it is fact.
Averages of over 10 rainy days and 4+ inch totals each winter month. Combine that with lower day-light length/sun angle from the higher latitude, and you have yourself quite the dreary winter climate. People go to Florida and the Gulf Coast to escape stuff like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco#Climate
Those are the facts. Your temporary drought pattern does not change that.
Of course it's not good weather...it's awesome weather.
really?
Average highs between May-Oct: 87, 90, 91, 91, 89 86.
That's even hotter than Shanghai, a city I am familiar with. And I know Shanghai during June-August is insufferable. Shanghai is humid, but so is Miami.
Awesome? Maybe between Oct and April.
I also know a friend who thinks Toronto's weather is awesome, because he loves four months of sub-zero temperature (true story). You guys are alike - both enjoy extreme weather.
I tend to have a lower core body temp than most, so 80-90 degree weather with lots of clouds and rain is very comfortable for me. I prefer chilly weather during the holiday season, but for ten months out of the year, Miami is great.

This is the first time I have heard of someone using Shanghai as a benchmark for what is "hot", so you must not be familiar with Shanghai. Hint: it's a 4-season city, with a somewhat similar climate to Washington DC.
Highs in the upper 80s, lower 90s that Miami has 8 months of the year, is fairly common for all tropical cities (Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, Mumbai, the list will go on and on) for 12 months of the year.
I wouldn't call it extreme either, but obviously you're welcome to your opinion. I'm not sure why you're trying to argue someone else's opinion. Again, just state your opinion and move on - no one cares.

The summer weather is exactly what makes areas like Shanghai and Miami so awesome. Hard not to look forward to the season when you get this type of excitement:

It is laughable to think that anyone in San Francisco could experience S.A.D, especially when you compare with Western Europe. UK has dreary winters, don’t you say that SF does.

Still doesn't change the fact that SF winters have more of what is considered "dreary" compared to winters in FL and the coastal Southern US.
