Discussion about
I think Alan got this last thread deleted because someone whose handle starts with a T upset him... Any...if you look on accuweather right now, you will say that...AS IS TYPICAL for April, its going to be the same-ish temperature in both SF and NYC (and slightly warmer in San Jose, Napa, and La-Mirin-da) BUT as is TYPICAL for April, it's going to rain only 1 out of the next 15 days in the Bay Area, versus 10/15 in New York. It will also, per any almanac, rain far more in NYC than the Bay Area in May, June, July, August, and September. Yet Alan insists the Bay Area is damp.

Kindest regards,

Its the SAME temperature in the Bay Area for the next two weeks as it is i NYC, Alan. Yet its raining exactly ten times as many days here versus there. Which will be the case for the next six months. Year in and year out.

That is why the Bay Area and LA both look like a desert from the air as you fly in until just before you hit civilization - this is when irrigation gives you the illusion that their is actually greenery.

Not only does it rain far more often and with more regular frequency in NYC, but it ALSO snows in addition to this. And is freezing cold about 100-120 days more often than the 5 or so days it is so in the Bay Area per year (and generally only at night in the latter.)

So it is measurably colder and damper here rather than there. Damper all year round, colder 5 out of 12 months.

And the three months its clearly warmer here are hellish versus the "oh, its 60 degrees in July brrrr" "cold" you lament.

We can't look on youtube at work.

Also, I can read on any number of websites what the average tempature, humidity, and rainfalls are for each metro area.

Also, I have lived in Manhattan for 11 years and lived in the BA for 29.

And I never owned gloves, non-baseball hats, or cashmere anything before moving here.

I also never needed air conditioning before moving here.

When it doesn't rain often enough in San Francisco, that is NOT a good thing. As someone who has lived in the Bay Area during droughts, I can tell you it's a very BAD thing. Since San Francisco is a small city, during dry seasons the State of California diverts their water to the Southland (L.A. and environs), leaving San Franciscans high and dry with strict water rationing. I suppose the reason SF is punished and receives less water than any other part of the state is because a large percentage of the women there don't bathe regularly anyway. Nonetheless, I would think that the rest of the city would want to take showers as needed and flush the toilet after every use.

SF and LA get water from different sources entirely.
