Actual SF, or surrounding areas? I would think SF is fairly nice in the summer with the ocean breeze. Sonoma county gets pretty warm in the summer as well, but SF proper always felt cooler to me. I can imagine San Jose being just as bad or worse though.
- ghaff 5y agoYou do have the probably apocryphal Mark Twain "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." And you can really get the cold, grey city vibe. But, honestly for the most part, it's hard to find a lot of fault (for me) in SF climate most of the year. And I've spent a lot of time there even if I've never lived there. ADDED: And I wouldn't think most people would think anything in NoCal generally (or most of CA even more generally) "sucked" in the summer

It gets hotter the farther north and more inland you go for a while (even if you don't have to go inland much). In the end a lot is just what you're used to, I think.
