San Francisco weather today brings a slight chance of drizzle in the morning with temperatures reaching just 64°F, so bundle up before heading out to Golden Gate Park or Ocean Beach.
Here’s what to expect: overnight drizzle (22% chance) will linger through early Sunday morning, with light rain and drizzle barely showing up on radar—just enough to dampen the sidewalks around the Ferry Building and Mission District. The National Weather Service notes these will be “waves of light rain with moments of drizzle in between,” so don’t expect heavy downpours. By 2 PM PT, the sun breaks through with mostly sunny skies taking over. Temperatures will actually fall from the morning high to around 62°F by afternoon—classic San Francisco microclimate behavior.
This is the coolest day of the forecast, so if you’re planning a visit to Lands End or hiking the Marin Headlands, layer up. The west wind stays light (6–12 mph), so it won’t be windy, but the marine layer will keep things crisp. Grab a Charlie Puth t-shirt or Charlie Puth hoodie if you’re catching the Charlie Puth - Whatever’s Clever! World Tour at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on May 1st — you’ll want the extra layer for the evening.
Sunday night into Monday sees another slight uptick in drizzle chances (15–20%), but nothing significant. By Monday morning, conditions clear out, and highs climb to 65°F with mostly sunny skies by late afternoon—perfect for getting outdoors after the weekend.
What to do: Skip the morning commute to AT&T Park or Salesforce Transit Center if you can; work from home and catch up on indoor projects. Sunday afternoon is your window—take a long walk around the Presidio or bike the Embarcadero once the clouds part. If you’re grilling later in the week, hold off until Monday when skies clear.
What to bring: An umbrella or rain jacket is essential for the morning. A portable bluetooth speaker is perfect for Sunday afternoon when you finally get outside to enjoy those rare clear moments.
Rainy mornings call for comfort food—a programmable slow cooker with a hearty beef stew or chili will be ready when you are. Pair it with an enameled cast iron Dutch oven for stovetop cooking. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: Monday stays cool but clears nicely. By Tuesday, marine stratus may form early, but overall, the pattern warms and dries into the work week. Next weekend brings a possible light rain chance, so enjoy this window of improving weather Monday through Friday.
