I am planning a week's holiday to SF with my family in early December. Appreciate if you could let me know as to what kind of weather we can expect. Can we expect a lot of rain or can we hope for some nice clear days even if its a little cold.

The rainy season here generally runs from November to about April, so I'd plan on rain. Generally the storms come down from Alaska for a day or two of rain, and then it will be clear for a few days. Of course, after it rained almost every day in March, I don't know if anyone is going to venture how much rain we'll have in December.

Although there is never a guarantee, the earlier part of December tends to be drier.

Predict the weather in San Francisco? What neighborhood will you be in? :cool:

Seriously, it is likely to be wet, but not rainy. Expect a fine mist with temps in the 50s or so.

During the rainy season it'll rain maybe 20%~30% of the time. The rain sometimes come in long spells, sometimes in short spells too.

So it can either be clear all during your stay, or rain every day, or rain a couple days, it depends on your luck.

I'd say it will most likely not rain during your stay, but I wouldn't depend on it.

Total crap shoot... could be a week of rain or a week of sun or a mix. A week of rain is more likely than a week of sun. Temps not likely to be above 60. Come prepared... layers, layers, layers, and a good rain jacket.

The best way to plan is for 3 seasons everyday. :D Layers of clothing work best: shirt, sweater, lined wind cheater and rain shell.

It can be gloriously sunny all day or raining cats and dogs all day or half and half. Every few years we do get a cold snap into the hight 30s.

Teacher49 is spot on, no matter what pack a sweatshirt and some sort of rain protection.

This winter for example was terrible, by about mid March, I was seriously thinking about building an ark :D
