Burlingame weather?

That isn't nonsense at all, especially if you live near the ocean... I lived in the Sunset for a total of two years, and those temperatures (50s & foggy) sound dead-on to me! It's warmer in downtown SF, but anywhere on the west side has lower daily averages - and for those who call it "sucky" and horrible weather, that's all relative. I think it's fabulous, and would rather live in the Sunset than just about anywhere!

P.S. I've also lived in Southeast SF (Bayview district), and it was slightly warmer and windier over there.

I absolutely LOVE the weather in San Francisco, and it's probably the thing I miss most (since moving to the south bay). To each his/her own, but just as you can't understand anyone liking SF's weather, I can't imagine anyone liking seasonal or extreme weather. I've lived in Stockton, and the 100+ temps were unbearable - I've also lived in Maryland where humidity & bugs were horrid, Tahoe where the snow was ridiculous at times, and Oregon where it never stopped raining. I'd much rather have cool/mild & comfortable weather all year, thankyouverymuch.

To the OP, Burlingame's weather is about as pleasant as you'll find anywhere in the world... seriously, who could complain about averages of 70?! I grew up at the border of San Mateo & Burlingame, and it was never uncomfortably warm OR cold. What exactly are you looking for, anyway? If HOT weather is your thing, I'd agree with the others who've suggested going east instead. The Peninsula is definitely warmer than most parts of San Francisco, but it's still not going to be very seasonal or hot. Burlingame does have very subtle microclimates, though, usually being a little windier near the Bay (i.e. near Airport Blvd) & foggier in the hills. The most mild part is probably around downtown Burlingame, but really it's only a minute difference overall.

Of course averages matter. Two years in a row of crappier than normal weather don't constitute long-term climate change. It may feel like forever to us, and it may be annoying, but it's statistically insignificant. You need at least 30 years of weather data to look at long term trends. If this were the new normal, then California's tourism is doomed. San Diego's beaches had only half its normal crowds for Memorial Day this year, and while I was here, we had way more rain than average. But people still generally talk about SD having a beach climate, despite a sucky summer last year, flooding this winter, and a cool spring. Weather may change from year to year, but climate doesn't change overnight.
