In August of 1995, when we went up into the redwood forest at Muir Woods 
National Monument, it was in the low 60's there, but it had been in the 
high 90's just before we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, and it was over 
100 a bit north of there as we drove back to Concord CA.  

However, according to snopes.com, Mark Twain didn't quite say 
"the coldest winter I ever spent was last summer in San Francisco."

FWIW, Mark Twain DID say "If you don't like the weather in New England, just 
wait a few minutes."
