Uhmm, I don't think I agree here. The Mediterranean has better weather all around. I like mid-west weather more if we are talking about US. SF is also very windy. Annoyingly windy. SF weather is "okay" but nowhere near the best. It does have great scenery nearby though.
- jjeaff 4y agoNotably, there is a lot of coastal area in southern California that shares the same climate zone as the Mediterranean.

- dehrmann 4y agoIt has the best weather of any "real" city. San Jose and San Diego aren't "real" cities. Parts of LA get too hot. Florida is too humid. Redwood City is the obvious winner for weather, but it doesn't have sports teams, concerts, museums--big city amenities.
- germinalphrase 4y ago"sports teams, concerts, museums--big city amenities" Which, arguably, was more important 50 years ago.
- dehrmann 4y agoThis isn't obvious to me. Why aren't these as important?
- germinalphrase 4y agoBecause mass media allows us to replace experiences that previously required physical participation (if only going to a specific location) with consuming those experiences anywhere we want - a trend that is only expanding/intensifying.
- dehrmann 4y agoWatching a concert on Youtube or seeing a baseball game on TV are completely different than seeing them in person.
- 8ytecoder 4y agoSF is foggy before 11am and after 3pm between Apr and August. Then it’s cold from Nov-Feb. There’s literally only two months of good weather in SF proper (Sep/Oct). Certain areas might dodge the fog an hour extra. I found SF and London to have very similar weather. Rest of the Bay Area is a wholly different story. San Francisco has shitty weather.
- beAbU 4y agoThe GP literally said "...some of the best in the world"? I just looked things up for SF and I have to say I would not regard it as some of the best in the world. Pretty temperate, with mild annual swings: summer highs of 23C and winter lows of 7C - that's actually a little on the cool side for me hah. But the rain is wrong way round, IMO wet summers and dry winters are better, and it seems like it's also quite humid? My experience is obviously limited, and weather preference is subjective, so read the above as if it's coming from one idiot on the Internet.
