Summer in Berkeley, California

We are at the peak of the summer season. When we wake up in the morning we are in what seems to be fog. Actually, since we live on the hillside, it is a low cloud. That cloud burns off and we get weak sunshine at about noon. Sometimes later. At about 5 PM the cloud returns and the sun disappears.

People in San Francisco and the Peninsula on the opposite side of the Bay from us say that we are lucky because we get more sun than they do.

At the end of the summer, this changes and we have crystal clear days with brilliant sun all winter long lasting through May.
