Just for fun one day I looked up the actual location of the weather stations in Frisco and Sanjosey.
Then I called the tv Wx suits guys at ABC, CBS, and NBC and asked, "Do you guys know where the official weather station is in SF and SJ?"
Uhhhh, lots of guess,,, salaries probably in the 6 or 7 figures, but not one guy knew!
So I told them, for free.
Frisco's only official weather station was,,, guesses???,,, near the Castro Safeway and new Mint, on the Eastern and usually much warmer side of town! Duh.
Sometimes in "Summer" tourist season it can be sunny and warm up Market st. in the Gay, safer Castro.
At the same time just West less than an air mile away on Twin Peaks in the Summer clouds-stratus-fog it can be so cold damp windy and poor visibility you wouldn't get out of a tour bus or car at the famous popular Vista point!
So there should be at least 3 temps ,or 4, for Frisco: the moderate Castro, and the Ocean Beach far West say at the Beach Chalet restaurant, and the Wind Tunnel" of 40-60mph low point occasional breezes at the Fort Point under the Golden Gate(the name of the Sac.River mouth) say. Add maybe Bay View in the poor ,high crime, unpopular SE quarter near 3rd st. Or the Ferry Building near the Bay Bridge.
And Sanjosey?
Guesses???
It's the most moderate location(hint) again ,,, without the Huge day-night / location temp swings of the hill confined ugly sprawl, terrible red light traffic jams and commutes, and usually Worst boxed in Smog in the BayArea...
Give up?
The wide open, flat, far North, benefiting from Bay cooling breezes,,, where no one lives(hint)... yep, the too close cramped crowded flashy SJO airport.
Moffitt Field would be a better Silicon Valley airport; You could approach from the South not so close to dt high-rise offices and condos or from the North over the Bay.
Regionally, Travis AFB would be better than clumsy SFO or rebuild terminal-late OAK or cramped SJO.
Marinites closed Hamilton AFB for Ever, the nymbies.
Leave SJO to all the Corp jets, many.
Sanjosey just Had to have an airport, even if they bungled it.
