Mark Twain wasn't kidding when he said the "coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." With its proximity to the water, this city can be chilly. While it can be hard to escape the fog in the summer, its an essential part of the city's beauty and mystique. The weather is ridiculously glorious in the fall, particularly in September and October. One thing to keep in mind is that it is significantly less balmy west of Divisadero Street, so there is a difference between living on the western and eastern sides of the city. The warmest patch of the city is the Mission; prepare yourself for the fog in the Sunset.
