Key takeaway Afternoon highs will range from 60s at the coast to upper 80s inland.
Why this matters in The San Francisco
For San Francisco residents, the warmer and muggier conditions brought by the combination of Tropical Storm Elida and Southwest monsoon moisture will likely be felt most in the city's microclimates. Neighborhoods like the Mission District and Noe Valley, which are farther inland, can expect to experience the upper 80s, while areas like the Richmond and Sunset districts, which are closer to the coast, will see cooler temperatures in the 60s. The potential for isolated thunderstorms over the Sierra and Northern California may also impact outdoor activities and commutes for those who travel to and from the city. As the city's residents and visitors navigate the sticky summer day, they will need to be mindful of the heat and potential storms, particularly in areas with limited shade and cooling resources. This weather pattern will test the city's ability to provide relief from the heat.
