Angelika San Francisco is known to have a built-in natural air conditioner, namely the fog. This is extremely practical because the temperature cools down at night, even after hot days. Overall, San Francisco has a pleasant, mild climate. It is never scorching hot, but there are many sunny days with T-shirt weather.
We hope that it stays this way in the future, as we are not equipped for major heatwaves. Air conditioning in apartments and houses is, for example, very rare in San Francisco. Traditionally, the weather is warmest in our city in September/October. There can be the occasional hot day without it cooling down significantly in the evening. However, this usually doesn't last for more than two days.
At the beginning of October, we were subjected to a real heatwave. For a week, it was 30 degrees Celsius during the day, with no trace of fog or wind. The heat just lingered in the city, and everyone was groaning and moaning, longing for the fog. The weather forecasters promised us every day that the fog, which we call "Karl," would soon arrive. But no such luck. It remained hot and muggy. At night, sweat just ran down our faces. (Note from Michael: In wise foresight, I had bought two huge construction-grade fans). When the cooling and the fog finally came, it was almost poetic.
