Weather |

The San Francisco bay Area
enjoys one of the mildest
climates on earth, and one
of the most diverse. The
climate varies considerably
throughout the area. Along
the Pacific Ocean, fog
prevails during much of the
summer months because of the
dry inversion of continental
air currents and the moist
air currents from the
Pacific. As you move inward
from the coast, fog
disappears, in part because
of warming aire currents and
a gradual increase in
altitude. Areas east and
south of San Francisco
experience cooler winters
and warmer summers.
The East Bay enjoys classic
California weather: sunny
and dry, with relatively few
extremely hot or cold days.
The Diablo Range on the east
protects the area from
Californiaˇ¦s hot interior
and the Santa Cruz Mountains
on the west shield it from
the ocean breezes. During
July, the average high is 82
degrees and the average low
is 41 degrees. The area gets
about three hundred clear
and partly cloudy days a
year. Summer temperatures in
the nineties are not
uncommon in the southern
Alameda County.
Precipitation in City of
Hayward primarily occurs
between November and March,
the wettest months being
December and January. A few
showers are reported during
the remaining months but are
light and inconsistent.
Just when you get lulled by
the sameness of the weather,
it changes. Yet, as with
California in general, there
really is no better place to
be.
