Yes we are and no they aren't. Half my family lives there and has for 34
years now. My mother has lived there since 76. I spent a whole summer
there once and we had a whole week of 90+ weather interspersed with upper
80s and some low 100s. It can also be cold as a witch's elbow. Summer
evenings were always so pleasant.

There are many, many microclimates in the Bay Area.
