"Fall" in the Bay Area

Fall in the San Francisco Bay Area is more like summer anywhere else. Temperatures vacillate between the mid-70s and mid-90s F. (and are typically 10 degrees higher over the pass in the Dublin, Pleasanton, and San Ramon Tri-valley area). It is our dry season, and we often have not had rain since March or April. The hills are golden brown. Wildfires often blaze or smolder somewhere in the state (part of the natural ecology). The air can smell like a campfire and the morning fog can be dense with an infusion of smoke.

For the Bay Area, these are the signs of fall. The days get shorter, temperatures cool off at night, and leaves turn red (or brown). The change of seasons is subtle, and takes awareness to notice! Even if it doesn't seem like fall, we can start cleaning up the garden for winter, and planning what to plant now to take advantage of the winter rains.
