In San Francisco summer doesn’t mean beach bodies, pina coladas, and sun kissed skin. It’s the time of year that you need to gather your coats because Karl the Fog is coming! If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you know the saying “winter is coming” can instill immediate fear for any of the characters. That’s how we San Franciscans feel about summer.

Here’s a guide to making through these next few months.

(Be sure to exercise during these months because September is when we visit the beach)

(Wear a bright jacket so that drivers can see you through the fog)

(Embrace your wind blown hair, it’s just not worth trying to fight it)

We love San Francisco and know it is the most amazing city in the states so we aren’t complaining. But come on, Karl! Can you give us a little break?
