Coldest summer

"The coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco"      [Improperly Attributed to Mark Twain]                                                                                                       
I have to admit I thought that San Francisco's fog and cold summers were somehow of a myth but I had to think again after my return from Europe.

There has been a cold ocean wind everyday since I came back and temperatures have struggled to reach low 20's Celsius. Although fog spares the immediate six block from where I live, I could see it disappearing in the late morning (11ish) and then rising again in the early afternoon.

Due to global warming, things might have improved since Twain's time (even if he did not explicitly complained about San Francisco's weather, he kind of implied it!) and summer temperatures are now higher in San Francisco, but it still is the coldest summer I have ever experienced. I will have to wait until autumn for a real summer.
