Are you moving to San Francisco soon? San Francisco has a lot to offer and this guide will help you to know where you need to be this summer! For all you Bay Area moves trust the best moving company in San Francisco: Luigys Movers!

San Francisco summers are famously foggy!  The city’s natural air-conditioning kicks on for the months of June, July, and August.  The cold ocean waters of the San Francisco Bay suck the wind and fog right into the city making for unseasonably cool temperatures.  Summer days are typically somewhere between 53 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit…with the odd 80 degree days cropping up in July.

Summers San Francisco-Style

However, that news shouldn’t throw a wet blanket on your San Francisco fun.  While the rest of the country sweats it out, grab a sweater and do summer like an SF local.
