My personal test-day for the end of Summer - the first day after August I have to put the heating on first thing. Soon it’ll be setting the timer again. Fucking hate winter.

    Hello from San Francisco,

    It’s the first day of Indian Summer here. With some microclimatic variations, it’s been cool and foggy since June. I just woke up with all the windows open for the first time this year.

      You lot are right in the hit-zone for El Nino variations aren’t you? I’d guess that can be a mixed blessing!

        Yes, SF is generally at the northern edge of the major impact, so it really depends on how the fire hose wiggles. Some El-Niño years are really wet, but sometimes everything misses us.

        The city also has epically diverse microclimates. I live close to the ocean, without any hills in the way, so the fog just doesn’t go away all summer. We might’ve had a combined total of 14 full-sun days since spring. Up until this week, I could count on my fingers, the days when I didn’t wear a light jacket and sweater to work.
