Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When Mark Twain said, “The coldest winter I have ever known was the summer I spent in San Francisco,” he was absolutely correct. Summer and winter are practically indistinguishable, with chilling winds and lots of fog at night. Winter also has quite a bit of rain—never snow—which lasts from November to February, so it is suggested that you bring a pair of rain boots for the occasional storm. You can’t rely on the weather here, unless you rely on it being unpredictable. In the midst of a freezing summer, San Francisco can reach temperatures as high as 100 degrees. The best advice is to always wear layers because while most days are mild, the temperature can change in an instant.

Look forward to lots of sunny, clear days during the beginning of the fall semester. Shorts and capri pants are awesome for this weather. During this time campus is crowded with scantily-clad students sunning themselves on every grassy patch of  campus. In the summer, be sure to have a sweater handy, and as for the rest of the year, wear light layers, and you’ll never
be unprepared.

San Francisco weather can be wet and foggy or warm and sunny. Seasons don't really exist-- it's pretty much split between those two.

it's been pretty sunny here. although when it does rain it's definitely a struggle to want to attend class- esp. if they're in Lone Mountain.

Fog Rolls in and Out of the City by the Bay

I'm a Los Angeles native and have been loving this fog that seems to roll in at a certain time and roll out 20 minutes later. I love that the weather is so unpredictable. It keeps me on my feet! The fog just eats away at the city and makes a whole new life.
