Climate

Our local climate is called Mediterranean. Chile, South Africa, Southwest Australia and of course, the Mediterranean, all have similar climates, which are characterized by cool wet winters and dry hot summers. This description fits much of California, but here in San Francisco, our Mediterranean climate is locally moderated by our world famous fog, which creates a cool dry summer. Thus the average daily high temperature for San Francisco varies by less than 20 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year.
