Fog in Summer and other San Francisco, CA Warning Or Danger Tips

It generally is NOT hot in the summer months. Be prepared for many, many foggy days in July and August. Of course, on the east side of town the fog usually burns off by mid-day, but it can just as easily roll back in late afternoon. You will not need a winter coat, but I do recommend a light jacket for the day, and then a warmer jacket (like leather) for night.

The photo accompanying this tip was taken on June 30, 2005, from the roof of my apartment. As the news reports were providing heat warnings for the inland areas and giving people advice on how to keep themselves safe during days of extreme heat, this is what it looked like right next to the Golden Gate Bridge at 4:00pm. It was approximately 30F degrees cooler in San Francisco than it was less than 30 miles away.

Between Fishermans Wharf and Pier 39 sits the Bush Man- he plants himself in an unassuming manner right on the street, but he is covered with pieces of a large bush. He waits until an unsuspecting person walks past and he jumps out and scares them. It is really rather funny.

He is usually not too far away from the Silver Man. OR... He often can be found next to Tarantino's restaurant.

However, it is doubful that a tourist will read this tip before hand...
