San Francisco summers are famously chilly, with hot inland valleys pulling cold, foggy ocean gusts thru the city. June 2025 was exceptional, among the coldest since 1982. The measured daily maximums at SFO did not exceed 65 °F from June 3 until end of June (pic @/nytimes)

There's a litter of foxes under our neighbor's deck. There's no fences here so see them (see pic). My next door neighbor saw them while driving, called her husband, saying, "I saw some foxes on the way to work!" He said, "How do you know they were on their way to work." She hung up on him.
