Oh, you're right. My mistake.

San Francisco is cooler in July than Perth, which isn't too far from Crieff, but the difference isn't significant, and in any case, I think anyone with sense can see that a high of 70F on 4th July is more likely than on Christmas Day. I really have no idea why people are still picking Christmas Day - based on what exactly?

San Francisco is forecast to hit 70 today, something it failed to do for the majority of days in July. If I polled the SF forum, asking them, "Which month feels colder at Ocean Beach; July or December?," the majority would say that July feels colder.

And here we are stuck at freezing for the past 10 days with a beautiful pristine snow pack .

But I agree with you. When I visited the Bay area in June, San Fransisco near the golden gate was only 64 F, yet San Mateo hit 79 F.

And why say "if" when you can do it and find out. Start an SF weather thread.

Again, that was not the question.

If you find it comfortable to wear shorts and T-shirt every day outside in the Scottish summer, you'd be in the minority, I'm sure. Likewise, there are days in July when it is comfortable outside in San Francisco, but other days where it is unpleasantly cold due to fog and/or wind. September and October tend to have more t-shirt and shorts days.
The average of all the SF stations maximums is higher than here in July,and the lows are higher, also.

July's here are T-shirt weather unless it's raining outside.

Maybe a better question to ask is what percentage of time is December 25 colder than July 4 in SF? Even if it's, say, 10% of the time, that's still pretty impressive. Because the answer to the question you asked is obvious and can be figured out easily by looking at the averages. You have a good point; just ask a different question.

But, my dear Adrianna, that is not what is being discussed. We are discussing whether 70F is more likely on 4th July or 25th December. July in Downtown San Francisco has an average high of 66F and a record high of 103F. December has an average high of 57F and a record high of 76F.

Maybe 70F is not month specific in San Francisco, but it is blatantly more likely to occur in July than December. The fact that this thread has 6 pages is beyond belief.
