How about a trip to San Fransisco, California, US

San Fransisco, California, US

SummaryA Brief Summary

Almost entirely dry and seldom too hot, September is the perfect month to see one of the US’s cleanest, friendliest, healthiest and most enjoyable cities. Taking in Fishermans Wharf, a trip to iconic Alcatraz, the worlds “crookedest” street, Lombard Street, or cross the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge into sleepier, but beautiful and pricey Sausilito. If you want a little rest from city life, Nappa Valley is a short drive away where you can sample some of the US’s finest wines and vineyards.

WeatherAbout the Weather

San Francisco has a mild, sunny and relatively dry climate, with extremes of temperature rare and this is highly representative of the climate of coastal northern California. The year starts off cool, bright and showery with temperatures of around 15°c and fairly heavy rains, which last through until March. April and May are slightly warmer but considerably sunnier, with May the sunniest month of the year on average and temperatures of around 18°c. Mornings in May and June can be foggy, but this often clears by mid morning to leave dry and sunny days with June almost completely dry. July through to September is very dry and sunny and gradually warms, with September the warmest month of the year due to the gradual warming of the northeast Pacific Ocean, from where the majority of San Francisco’s winds originate. Summer days don’t often exceed 30°c and when they do it is only for a few days before returning to normal values of around 22°c. October to December become increasingly cool, with the last 2 months of the year noticeably wetter and cloudier. Temperatures below 0°c are rare, with winter lows averaging 8°c. Inland, towards the State capital of Sacrimento, the weather is less cloudy and warmer. Summers here are some of the sunniest anywhere in the world, while the rest of the year is bright and mostly warm, although cold incursions affect here more often than coastal regions in winter
