Sunshine with a Side of Sea Breeze: What to Expect
San Francisco in April is a city in transition. The rainy season is on its last legs, throwing the occasional tantrum (read: short shower), but mostly sunshine wins the day. Think temperatures hovering around a pleasant 63°F (17°C), with highs reaching a balmy 75°F (24°C) on a good day.
But here's the thing, San Francisco – never one to be predictable – likes to keep things interesting with a cool ocean breeze. So, while you might be basking in the sun one minute, the next you'll be wishing you'd packed a light jacket.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
Pro Tip: Layers are your friend! Think t-shirts, sweaters you can easily throw on or off, and a windbreaker for those unexpected gusts.
Farewell Foggy Bottom, Hello Golden Gate Views!
Remember those iconic images of San Francisco shrouded in fog? Well, April sees the fog taking a vacation. You'll have a much better chance of snapping that postcard-perfect picture of the Golden Gate Bridge bathed in sunshine.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
However, a little morning fog can still linger, especially near the bay. But hey, that just adds to the city's mystique, right?
So, What Should I Pack?
- T-shirts: For those bursts of sunshine.
- Light sweaters: For when the breeze rolls in.
- A windbreaker: Because San Francisco.
- Comfortable shoes: You'll be doing a lot of walking and exploring.
- An umbrella (just in case): April showers and all that.
- Sunglasses: Because who doesn't love looking cool?
Bonus: Don't forget a sense of adventure! San Francisco is a city with a personality, and April is the perfect time to experience it.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
