San Francisco has the coldest July's of any major city in the U.S with many days stuck in the 60s. It also has the warmest Decembers of any major city in the U.S. except for Southern California and Florida. Some of the immediate Gulf Coast may have warmer December average temperatures but their record lows are far far colder. I think it's the only city in the world that far into the Northern Hemisphere with this pattern.
So which is more likely?
(unlike my other "which is more likely threads," both scenarios are real possibilities in a given year and NOT rare by any means).
A) San Francisco has a daytime high of 70 F + on 4th of July
or
B) San Francisco has a daytime high of 70 F + on Christmas Day.

Obviously, OBVIOUSLY on the 4th of July, in the middle of summer for ****s sake. A bloody fetus could work this out. Herp de derp
You obviously know NOTHING about San Francisco's unique climate. MANY, if not most July days require a jacket or at least a sweatshirt in the evenings when the fog and wind make it feel really cold. There are also a good number of short sleeve days in December in the direct sun under calm conditions. I've experienced both personally.
Jacket at over 50 F / 10 C? The hassle of having to deal with a jacket indoors at those temperatures far outweighs the need for a jacket. If anything, 50s F is comfortable T-shirt weather.

And I'll bet even more December days will require a jacket, considering the average is 6C colder
That is substantially warmer than any month where I live, and t-shirt weather.
You beat me too it, simple law of averages still say more likely 4th of July. But the odds of the reverse are probably still more than any city at that latitude or further north (most of the US has record highs for Christmas Day within a couple of degrees of 70, for example, the big cities of the Northeast along the East Coast from Boston to DC, so it's not impossible elsewhere, just less likely.....probably impossible in the upper Midwest (i.e. Minnesota) though.

You have no comprehension of mathematical statistical probability. San Francisco's average max is far closer to 70 in July than December, simply because that average is based on years and years of previous occasions when it has clearly exceeded 70 many more times on 4th July than Christmas. That is the nature of the climate, hence the averages reflect that, hence it is obvious to any brain dead fudgewit that San Francisco is far more likely to hit 70 in July than December.
