Wtf. What is up with the near 30 degree difference between Ingleside and Hunters Point?! What is the scale on that anyway, those two areas cant be that far appart.

You call it an accident. I call it justice.

If memory serves, you could freeze your ass off in the shade/fog on one side of the street and bake on the other, so that isn't that shocking to me.

The city is only 7 miles wide; I cover the exact distance you're talking about in about five minutes every morning on my commute (I live in the Ingleside). The differences are mostly a function of tall hills and ocean breeze. When it's hot inland the wind blows from the west (because of temperature and pressure and stuff). Anything that gets that foggy ocean breeze directly gets cooled way down, but if you're on the leeward side of a big hill, you don't get any of it so you feel the inland heat instead. Here's that same image roughly overlaid on a topographical map to give you the idea.  You can see the only thing between me in the Ingleside and the ocean is Lake Merced, and I'm also in kind of a wind tunnel between Mt Davidson to the north and San Bruno Mountain to the south. I fuckin' love my house in the summer; even on the hottest days, if I open a few windows it's like having AC on full blast. Conversely, the Bayview/Hunter's Point has Bernal Hill right to the west of it, and a bunch of other hills/mountains further west from there, so it gets almost none of the ocean wind. The Dogpatch/Potrero is another hot spot because of Potrero Hill. Etc. |

Yes though that's mostly dependent if your side of the street has the wind blowing through it. |

I'm actually planning to relocate to the bay area soon. Good to know I won't be leaving the midwestern tradition of crazy-ass weather patterns entirely behind.

That's mostly just SF. The weather in SF is often bassackwards from the rest of the Bay Area.

I got caught all the time not having the right clothing for parts of that city. I'd leave my place in Vallejo in shorts and a T-shirt and be utterly roasting from the midmorning heat, get off the BART in San Francisco and need a jacket until I found some sunlight. Strangest temperature shifts I have seen in a small area. |

Yeah, I often wish the standard weather apps had finer granularity than whatever the citywide average is. As evidenced by that map, the weather when I step out my front door is not necessarily reflective in any way of the weather I'll be getting at the park, or downtown, etc. I have decent weather sense that's been built up over decades ("it's lightly foggy here and I'm going to the Mission, so it'll be warm and sunny over there") but foreigners are continually baffled by it.

Happens other places in CA, as well. When I was urban-boondocking in SD, I would generally settle for the night right behind the ridges between the ocean towns (where the cops had a gestapo-like attitude towards RV's) and the bluffs marking the transition to the desert (where they didn't care). It would often be in the 90's less than a quarter-mile to my west, while I'd be comfortably in the high 60's to low 70's. La Jolla, where I spent a lot of time, was one of the most dramatic examples, rarely getting above the 70's even during the day, when it might top 100 just a few miles inland. --Dave |

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe
