San Francisco meteorological summer so far Jun 1-Jul 24, 2025 *avg temp* (avg of daily highs AND lows) 58.4F ties 23rd coolest for same period, coolest since 58.4F in 2002. Same reasons why as below except night hours with fog & low clouds reduce outgoing radiative cooling. #CAwx.

Look familiar? Different coast and different mountains, but we see this happen all the time as stratus surges over our coastal mountain. Our atmosphere is a fluid. #cawx.

Low clouds across the region this Wednesday morning are quickly dissipating. Most areas across the region will see sunshine today, with the exception of the North Bay coast. Temperatures will be below seasonal averages as a trough remains off of the coast. #CAwx #BayAreaWX

Cloud iridescence. What's that? One of our meteorologists captured cloud iridescence over Monterey today. Iridescent clouds appear in altocu, cirrocu, & cirrus clouds! They're caused by diffraction as tiny water droplets/ice crystals scatter sunlight. #cawx #AtmosphericOptics

Did you know: Whenever you see breaking waves at the beach, there's a risk of rip currents? If at all possible, swim at beaches with lifeguards; if caught in a rip current, stay calm, call for help, and swim parallel to shore. Break the Grip of the Rip! #WeatherReady

Larger than normal tidal swings will bring minor tidal flooding to the Bayshore over the next few evenings. Why? The combination of lunar perigee on July 20th and a new moon on July 24th.

⚠️Onshore flow increases later today leading to stronger winds. Winds will be strongest in the inland gaps/passes of the East Bay and the Delta Region. Wind gusts of 30-40 mph will be possible. Gusty winds will also increase fire weather concerns. #cawx
