San Francisco Forecast
The best forecasts we've seen for the Bay Area are from Weather Underground. They are more detailed both in terms of geography and time. The geographical detail is in Weather Underground's zip code level forecasts, which is important since weather can vary so much even between different parts of the city. The time detail is in Weather Underground's detailed forecasts that show how the weather can change through the day. The detailed forecasts are highly recommended for planning 'what to wear' and 'what to do' when the San Francisco weather is on the move.
Weather Underground also has a Trip Planner specifically to give you average conditions during your planned travel times, even if the planned travel times are weeks or months away.
