The herald of "June Gloom" appears to be here.

The sun just came out here in the slums of north Palo Alto.

Yes, we had a pretty chilly walk around the farmer's market this morning. Patiently waiting for the sun...

I live in the Delta and the "Delta Breeze" was full blast all night and still blowing. So, you all in SF must still have a layer of fog. Bundle up

Drove from the Peninsula to Marin around 1 p.m. The sun didn't come out at all until we reached Corte Madera. Left there around 3:30 -- the sun went in before Sausalito and we reached home without ever seeing it again. It's cold and generally nasty.

I just back from a walk on the levess along the bay. The sun is still shining down here and it is a bit breezy, but there is a humungous, thick fog back headed over the mountains. June gloom indeed.

make that levees...

We were going to go into the City for dinner tonight - but decided not to at the last minute. Don't want to experience cold, fog, wind, at the beginning of summer. I changed from shorts into jeans about mid-day..

Watched a Nexflix for our evening's entertainment tonight. Tomorrow's forcast doen't hold hope.

I remember lots of Memorial day wash-outs in the past 34 years.

Variable about says it. And of course the weather in SF is not just variable from day to day, but as has been alluded to above, on the same day it can vary by 30 degrees in 20 miles.

That is, SF itself can be a foggy, windy, cold 60 degrees and if you drive 20- 30 miles in any direction you just may find it is sunny and 90 degrees - in Sonoma (north), Palo Alto (south), or Orinda (east), for example. (Well actually "any direction" may not be quite correct, as I have never tried driving 20 miles due west of SF.)

When I used to live in Palo Alto there were many summer days I spent lounging by the pool in baking hot weather and then, when I drove the 30 miles up to the city to walk around GG Park or the Marina with friends, put on a down vest to survive the fog!

No surprise why they sell so many sweatshirts at the Wharf.

Everyone I knew in the late 70s owned a down vest to wear in the summer in SF. We played volleyball in GG park wearing down vests.

Ugly & gloomy today so far. Forecast is for gloom all day.

Hey, guys. This thread is making me depressed, and I don't even live there!

Pssst - You guys, our temps drop 30 to 40 degrees from day to night almost everyday of the year. Kwityerbitchin!

I will take SF any time of year, sun or rain - and we sure know rain, eh Stu?

Heard how cold Candlestick Park could get and remember one time dressing in parkas and long sleeves for a NFL game..it was one of the warmest days on record.
Thanks Deb for helping me spell 'Kwityerbitchin!'

I'm looking out the hotel window and it almost looks like the sun is trying to come out. Figures--just as we're about to leave!

Yup, sunny at home today. Not as warm as I'd like it quite yet, but I hold out hope for this afternoon! Have a great day everyone.

Have just been out for a couple of hours, and it's turned into a beautiful day. I hope everyone else enjoys it; we are off to SFO and back to Chicago, where it will be stormy for the next several days.

OMG, the weather was terrible in SF this past weekend. I was expecting 60sF during the day; but it was more like low to mid-50sF with wind gusts of 20mph and foggy, cloudy every day. I was so happy to come home this morning to sunny Boston with temps in the 70sF!

yk, you absolutely got the two worst weather days of this spring. It was horrible. Fortunately, the sun is shining today (sitll not very warm, but beautiful)

ms_go and yk,

Come back in September! Welcome home.
