Not a good day to be strolling around on the top of that thing, huh?

Of course, when I was there, it was just a light breeze, WARM and quite clear - I was left wondering why I couldn't see Tasmania from there (was told it was just too far.) Pretty neat place.

Fell well short of the forecast 29C today only managed to get to 26.3C.

Rest of the week is looking like it will be close to average-around 21-23C with a bit of rain for the next few days.

I totally agree. I can't describe how nice it feels in a day like today.

Yes, I also enjoy temps in the mid-teens with abundant sunshine (provided there is little wind), like we're having at the moment: 17 C and sunny with light winds.

I think you would very much enjoy San Francisco's climate.

Fantastic late autumn day today: 20 C high and sunny all day long. Sadly, this is probably the last 20 C until Sep / Oct.

really? does san francisco averages a lot of days like this one? wow, thats awesome!

Yesterday it was great, was it sanfel? Only "downside" is that when i finally went out to pic nic (kinda late, at 4 pm, my date only came to pick me up at that time) there were clouds in the sky, it was partly cloudy lets say, and at that hour the sun wasnt shinning so hard. But anyway it was a lovely evening, and an AMAZING night. I walked around like 50 blocks, went to different places, and came back at home at 1 in the morning and the night was JUST SO LOVELY. I think around 8-9 celsius....way nicer than a 27 celsius night if you ask me. And than a 20c night. And than a 15c night. Actually, 9 celsius nights are my favourite!


Today is an EVEN NICER DAY than yesterday if thats possible. Temp 16 celsius, supper shinny and sunny and today im going out in less than an hour (its 1 pm here) so im gonna enjoy the day more. Days like yesterday and today are days to be out ALL DAY AND NIGHT and be at home as less as possible.

Ok just came back home after an AMAZING day out...with the weather like this, is difficult to not have a good time walking around by the lovely city!

Now at 9 pm temp is 15c, so is clearly a warmer day than yesterday (also more humid, particius!) and temp at daytime was around 17 i would guess. Day was WONDERFUL, the sky was super blue and sun was shinning up in the sky, the air was amazing, the breeze from the south was super light, and the night was lovely to walk. I took some pics with my cel (lousy quality) of the walk i did today, youll see how blue the sky was and how amazing were the plants in the park.

Really, May is the best time of the year climate-wise!

here some pics of today (took between 4 and 5pm) :



lovely, arent they?

Eh. San Francisco doesn't just average around 17°C it doesn't do much else. Fairly sunny else thick fog rolls in. You didn't like it very much previously ( see link below) but perhaps last summer made you change your opinion?

And yea, looks very clear. Vegetation looks different from what I'm used to.

oh well, i actually rate it a C-, thats actually a good rating for me. Consider i never rated anything above a B, so C is actually a good rating to me. What i said is that i didnt like that it lacked variety (wich is true) and that it has no winter (wich is true). I might love 17 or 15 c sunny, but i also LOVE, 10 or 9 celsius and sunny, wich is what we get here in BA in the WINTERTIME, and SF doesnt seem to get ever. All in all, i will probably rate it a C, but i agree with what i said in the link.

About vegetation in my pics, how is so different from what you are used to?
