How’s the weather in San Francisco

San Francisco’s weather is famously unpredictable, but that’s part of its charm. Thanks to its coastal location and rolling hills, the city often experiences a mix of sunshine, fog and breeze, all in the same day. Instead of the traditional four-season climate, San Francisco enjoys a mild and temperate atmosphere year-round, making it a great destination for any time of the year. Here’s what you can generally expect each season:

Fall

Fall is often considered San Francisco’s best-kept secret. The fog recedes and the weather is sunny and warm with temperatures between 15–21°C. This is a great time for photographers, outdoor lovers and anyone who enjoys exploring without the summer crowds. Street fairs and cultural events are still going strong.

Winter

Winters are cool and damp with average temperatures ranging from 7–15°C. While snow is extremely rare, expect occasional rain and overcast skies. It’s perfect for travelers who prefer a quieter atmosphere and cozy city experiences like museum visits, café hopping and shopping.

Spring

Spring is fresh and breezy with temperatures between 10–18°C. Flowers begin to bloom in the city’s many parks and gardens. This is a great season for hikers, nature lovers and those who enjoy mild weather while sightseeing.

Summer

Despite being summer, temperatures stay cool at 13–20°C, and fog often rolls in from the Pacific. Pack layers. This season suits travelers who prefer cooler temperatures, love festivals and want to escape intense summer heat found in other cities.

Tips for a smooth trip to San Francisco

Plan ahead and allow for some extra time

Make sure you keep track of your departure time and identify your check in terminal. You can check in online via our website or in the SAS app up to 30 hours before your departure time. It may sound obvious, but it’s always best to arrive a little early rather than being stressed. This is especially true during the summer or other popular vacation times.

Pack smart

Check our baggage rules and restrictions when it comes to baggage. Make sure your ticket type contains the right amount of baggage for what you intend to bring. Please remember that adding bags to our website or SAS App is always cheaper than doing it in person at the airport.

Stay up-to-date

Be sure to regularly check for any updates regarding your flight, such as for example gate changes. Keep an eye on your SAS flight status or download the SAS App for the latest updates.
