Weather in the San Francisco Bay Area

I grew up in the south bay, but I've traveled around the world and around the US, and I've lived on the east coast (mid-Atlantic states) twice for two years each time and in the Sierras for a couple of years. I grew up camping in northern California in the summer when recognizing weather patterns meant survival. I offer up these tidbits as some of my bona fides with respect to knowing that there are places that have "weather."

The south bay pretty much does not have "weather." 

"Weather" is a three-day snow storm that dumps seven feet of snow. 

"Weather" is a morning of monsoon rains that fill the streets (that were designed to act as waterways during "monsoon") and the front yards almost to the house foundations (then drains away within two hours). 

"Weather" is freezing rain that glazes the streets so slick that you can parallel park (or un-parallel park) by pushing on the side of your car. 

"Weather" is waking up to a clear, blue sky, spending a warm summer morning hiking or water skiing, then watching the sky turn black in the span of an hour, then watching two inches of hail accumulate in a half-hour while the temperature drops 40 degrees... and stays that way overnight. 

"Weather" is sitting in the house with all the windows open and all the appliances unplugged while the thunderous pounding of the rain on the roof competes with the thunder and the instant CRACK of lightning as it strikes the lightning rods of the house you're in and all the houses around you with only seconds between the blinding flashes of lightning... and smelling the ozone in the air.

Growing up in the south bay, I can tell you that we have two seasons: Dry and Wet. The Wet season used to start somewhere around late October (you might get rained on while Trick-or-Treating) to early December. Wet season would end somewhere in March or April. The rest was Dry season. 

Except that you could usually count on one half-day of cool, misty weather in June, right around the time that the local cherry crops were ripening. (The south bay area used to be one big agricultural center before we started growing silicon.) I say that because it confuses me when folks who grew up here are surprised when it happens. Every time. 

What is different is that we're having more and more years where the entire month of June is mostly cool and icky or warm and icky. And by icky I mean cloudy and moist. OK. We're back to weather in other locales. Our Junes are turning into the Junes I experienced at the New Jersey Shore.  Do we chalk it up to Global Warming? I don't know.
