While much of the country is cooling down, here in the San Francisco Bay Area, summer is just getting started. With our Mediterranean climate, we're heading out of our cool, foggy days, and into the hot dry months.
The winter rains typically don't start until late October or November, unless we have an especially dry winter or are in a drought. The land is parched and dry. Even gardens that use limited water are looking droopy. The hills surrounding the Bay Area are golden brown and tinder dry, and dotted with live oaks - creating the iconic picture of the California summer dry landscape. For us, hot and dry are the normal signs of fall.
