It's been a bizarro world winter, all of us expecting every day that there's just got to be some rain clouds coming any day now. It can't possibly keep staying sunny like this,

Finally, finally, a real spate of Indian summer arrives this week with a warm-up this weekend that should bring some actual beach weather, with temps hitting 80 at the coast on Saturday. And

We can't stop listening to The Cure and Beirut. We actually turned the heat on this morning and have been craving hot cocoa. Yes, San Francisco, August has gotten ridiculous once again. And

877 minutes of daylight. What will you do with it all? It's the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, and while it's a mucky, cloudy 92 degrees in New York right

San Franciscans talk about how we usually have to pay for it when we get weather like this. A couple of days of perfect park weather, or beach weather, or strolling-through-the-typically-foggy Sunset weather,

Thunderstorms and snow are to San Franciscans what earthquakes and culture are to Midwesterners, so last night was pretty special. Hopefully you kept dry and drank a hot toddy or three and maybe

We've had another in a series of early springs this week, with last Sunday being the big, beach-going, park-sitting height of it. Mark Zuckerberg couldn't resist coming out to prove he does, really,

Forget your troubles, c'mon get happy! It's gonna pour today! Like for real. Or so they say. Yesterday's flaccid drizzle was nothing compared to what you'll see this afternoon and evening, so get

It's time to the pay the piper. You've had your fun. You've sat in Dolores Park in January. You've basked in weather that was almost like Southern California's at this time of year,

Waiting for the rain is kind of like waiting for a dentist appointment. You know it's coming, you know you need it, you're just happy enough that it isn't happening until next week.

You've landed. You're back in the office. You're only a little worse for wear and thank god it's not raining. You don't need to believe in astrology or ascribe to any sort of

The Sierra-bound skiers and Christmas music fans will be singing "Let It Snow," but that ain't really happening, at least for a couple of weeks. Nor will it be a typically drizzly December

Brrr, right? You were probably walking around the Mission without a scarf last night and totally regretted that. And it was something like 40 degrees when you woke up this morning, and despite

It's as though the gods want you to suffer this Thanksgiving, to just put the fucking turkey in the oven and hunker down with your Pinot and whiskey and give thanks that at

They say there's no such thing as earthquake weather. There's also no such thing as astrology, if you ask your more rational Virgo friends anyway, and we still see too many patterns there

There's nothing like waking up slightly hungover from a friend's mid-week birthday, your eyes oddly sticky and glossed over — what's this? You left your contacts in. Gross — to sit by the window drinking

How would you describe this summer? It's been pretty typical, as they say. Lots of dense morning fog that becomes afternoon fog and sometimes burns off at 3 p.m. and sometimes doesn't

Memorial Day might have been mildly disappointing, but now, suddenly, the air is thick with awe and possibility. Summer. For the first time in eons, it might not be so foggy on the

Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailor take warning. But rain in late June? Jesus christ. We're really getting sick of this. And pretty much every winemaker in a

Maybe you're in a singing-and-dancing-in-the-rain kind of mood. That's nice for you. There's a shit-ton of it on its way tonight, so that should make you awesomely happy. Get out those rubbers, a

Maybe you took a four-day weekend and drove up the coast, got a welcome reminder of the landscape that's so close, yet seems so far from the city for reasons that must have

Consider this your rest period. A break in the clouds. It may not be as warm as you'd like, but when is it ever? It also may not be as calm, or as
