San Francisco is waking up to its warmest day of the week — a sunny 72°F Monday running 5 to 10 degrees above normal, according to the National Weather Service. Karl the Fog is keeping close to the coast this morning, lifting by late morning to reveal clear skies from the Mission to the Marina. Check the San Francisco weather forecast for updates throughout the day.
Today’s Setup
The marine layer retreats from inland neighborhoods by late morning, leaving Dolores Park, the Embarcadero, and Golden Gate Park in full sunshine. A light WSW breeze of 2 to 10 mph keeps things comfortable, with temperatures peaking near 72°F before easing back to around 68°F by late afternoon.
Best Window To Be Outside
The prime outdoor stretch is 10 AM to 3 PM — ideal for Crissy Field, the Marin Headlands, or a long lunch on a patio. Coastal safety note: the National Weather Service has flagged an elevated risk of sneaker waves and rip currents along Ocean Beach through Tuesday morning, driven by a long-period southwest swell. Stay well back from the wave zone if you’re heading to the shore.
Wind and What’s Ahead
Tonight turns partly cloudy with a low near 53°F. Tuesday stays mostly sunny at 68°F, but winds increase to 5–13 mph with gusts reaching 18 mph — secure your deck or patio setup with a pop-up canopy tent with weights or outdoor furniture covers before the breeze picks up. A slight cool-down arrives by the weekend as the marine layer expands and a trough moves through the Pacific Northwest.
Events This Week
Tuesday, June 2: The Golden State Valkyries host the Portland Fire at Chase Center. It’s indoors, so weather isn’t a factor — but grab Official team gear on Fanatics and Get tickets on SeatGeek before they’re gone.
The weekend is stacked for concert-goers. Alesso plays Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on June 5. June 6 is a double: Louis Tomlinson’s How Did We Get Here? World Tour at Bill Graham and Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour at Oakland Arena — snag an Ariana Grande t-shirt for the occasion and Find tickets on StubHub if you still need them. Pitbull with special guest Lil Jon closes the weekend June 7 at the outdoor Shoreline Amphitheatre — bring a layer for the evening cool-down.
Dinner Tonight
A 72°F evening with light winds is a written invitation to fire up the grill. Burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob all shine in this weather. An instant-read meat thermometer keeps your cook dialed in, and a grill brush and scraper set has your grates ready to go. Feeling ambitious? Our guide to smoke tri-tip like brisket is a $10 technique worth trying tonight. You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered to your door in time for dinner.
Next Few Days
Tuesday: 68°F and mostly sunny with gusty afternoon winds. Wednesday bounces back near 73°F. Expanding marine layer and possible coastal drizzle settle in through midweek before a slight cool-down arrives for the weekend — very on-brand for San Francisco in June. Browse outdoor gear deals to make the most of the sunny stretch while it lasts.
