I'm presently in Oakland, in the San Francisco Bay Area of California (a region sometimes called Northern California despite the fact that from a strict latitudinal perspective it's closer to the center of the state, in part to distinguish it from the suburban wasteland that is Southern California).

The sky is blue and the temperature is coolish but basically perfect, around 70 degrees (20 degrees C). No humidity, because there never is here, unless it's raining. It will be like this almost without exception for the next two months or so, although we'll probably have some hot days, and possibly a couple of very hot days, come September.

I actually live across the Bay in San Francisco, which is smug and OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive but as beautiful and interesting as cities get. It will be cooler and less clear in SF (foggy, not rainy-- it shouldn't rain again until October) for much of the summer, as it always is.

It's the best climate on earth, in my biased opinion. To those that say "I like the seasons," I say, I'm a native New Englander and lived briefly in Wisconsin and less briefly in a hot part of Asia. I have seen most of what meteorology has to offer, and seasons are overrated. I will take a perpetual spring with hints of autumn (that's what it always feels like here) over hot sticky summers or gray slushy March weather any day.
