The throngs of tourists have begun to empty out and the streets are a little more empty for navigating but there are still plenty of fun activities to enjoy and the weather is the best for enjoying them. There can\u2019t be said to be too many hot days in San Francisco but the sunniest are typically in September of each year, when it doesn\u2019t ever seem to rain and everyone wants to get outside.<\/p>\n<p>The average low <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/sanfranciscoweather.html\">temperature in San Francisco<\/a> in September is 57 degrees. The average high is 70. While this may not sound particularly warm to people who live in climates, the combination of slight humidity and bright sunshine makes it comfortable against the skin. It\u2019s cool enough, especially at night, to be a relief for travelers who hail from the Southwest United States and other places that have been boiling hot for the preceding months. Unlike during the summer months, you won\u2019t experience much in the way of wind when you visit San Francisco in September. It\u2019s just nice and comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>That said, San Francisco can change from moment to moment (and neighborhood to neighborhood) so don\u2019t get caught without a few layers to change into just in case the wind does pick up for a bit. If you\u2019re walking around near <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/pier39\/pier39_san_francisco.html\">Pier 39<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/sanfrancisco\/golden-gate-bridge\/\">Golden Gate Bridge<\/a>, the breeze of the bay can feel chilly at times, even in sunny September. If you\u2019re up on top of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/sanfrancisco\/twin-peaks-san-francisco\/\">Twin Peaks<\/a> where the wind never stops whipping, you\u2019ll be glad to have a windbreaker wrapped around you as you enjoy the sweeping views. A light jacket, a scarf and a pair of good closed-toe shoes should be enough to keep you warm during this early autumn month.<\/p>\n<p>Pack your sunscreen since there is less cloud cover in San Francisco in September. You might want to spend some time <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/beach-san-francisco.html\">at the beach<\/a> while you\u2019re here. Remember, though, that even when the sand is nearly blistering, the waters of the Pacific Ocean are pretty cold. Most people want to wear a wetsuit if they\u2019re going into the water. It\u2019s a great time to head out on the water in a boat though. Whale watching, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/san-francisco-sailing.html\">sailing<\/a>, bay cruises and even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/ferry.html\">ferry rides<\/a> over to the North Bay or East Bay can all be terrific activities during a September San Francisco vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the surrounding Bay Area, this is one of the few times of year when the temperatures in San Francisco tend to match those that are further inland. The summers in San Francisco are much colder than the surrounding Bay Area while the winters tend to be warmer. In September, however, the difference isn\u2019t so drastic. From San Jose to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/napawineries.html\">Napa<\/a>, you\u2019ll find that day trips and weekend getaways are just a slight bit warmer than the city proper during the hottest times of September days.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to leave the city to enjoy yourself. There are many interesting annual events that occur in September. San Francisco is a city that is well-known for its unique architecture and you can learn a lot about it from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aiasf.org\/programs\/architecture-and-the-city\/\">Architecture and the City<\/a> &#8211; a month-long architecture and design festival that includes walking tours and other events. If you enjoy the performing arts, your options are varied since September includes the opening performances events of the San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Symphony, the two-week live theater event known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sffringe.org\">SF Fringe Fest<\/a>, the weekend of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bayareabluesfestival.com\">Bay Area Blues Festival<\/a> and also Opera in the Park and <a href=\"http:\/\/comedyday.org\">free comedy day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Looking for something you can\u2019t do anywhere but San Francisco? There is the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moonfestival.org\">Chinatown Autumn Moon Festival<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfdragonboat.com\">Dragon Boat Festival<\/a> over on Treasure Island or the famous leather fair on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.folsomstreetfair.com\">Folsom Street<\/a>. There truly is a little bit of something for everyone here in San Francisco and September will not disappoint you with its calendar of events! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sftodo.com\/free-san-francisco.html\"><em>On a budget?
