BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

San Francisco temperatures rarely drop below 40°F/44ºC, but the period between November and March has many foggy and often chilly days. 

July through October is the most popular period to visit San Francisco. Outdoor living (concerts, music, eating, biking...) and beach life are mainly centred in the rainless summer and autumn months (Summer and Fall come late in San Francisco: the warmest days are often in September, and October is normally a very agreeable and relatively hot month).

Any time is good to visit San Francisco, but Summer and early Fall are really special.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

Many winter days are often chilly and foggy, and there is the possibility of rain, which may affect your outdoor activities.

But if you want to avoid crowds and benefit from lower hotel prices, then you should also avoid the high and most popular period: Summer months and early Fall.

Your choice should have into account these two framing conditions.
