As the above poster said, I would be in a thick coat at 15C

Yes, I am slightly overweight, BMI around 31.

The coldest Mediterranean climate would have a coldest month mean right at freezing and a warmest month mean right at 68 F / 20 C.

Something like this:
Jan: 38/26 F (3/-3 C)
Feb: 38/26 F (3/-3 C)
Mar: 44/30 F (7/-1 C)
Apr: 54/36 F (12/2 C)
May: 65/45 F (18/7 C)
June: 73/51 F (23/11 C)
July: 79/57 F (26/13 C)
Aug: 76/54 F (24/12 C)
Sept: 68/48 F (20/9 C)
Oct: 57/39 F (14/4 C)
Nov: 47/31 F (8/-1 C)
Dec: 40/28 F (4/-2 C)

Why 20C? - Is Mediterranean something other than a precipitation pattern caused by seasonal shift in high pressure?

I would be interested to know why this climate doesn't qualify as Mediterranean

You don't live there. They do. And the SF link backs it up. There were many more links that said the same thing in the search I did.

Did you even read that link that explains the how, and why it happens? Guess you will have to be one of the tourists that has to buy an overpriced hoodie from the vendors when you visit. Unless you take the hint, and dress in layers.

Wouldn't need to unless I go to Point Reyes, SF is warm enough for shorts and a t-shirt from February to November.

Do you not consider San Francisco as having a Mediterranean climate? It does not reach 20C average in its warmest month.

But there is also 30% cloud - by your logic, a cloud lover would find this delightful.

Ok, have it your way.

You have never been there, and don't want to listen to the people who have, lol.
