Special Note:
If you are coming to San Francisco during September or October, you have picked the best time of the year for weather. During September the wind direction generally changes from blowing from the Ocean to Inland to blowing from the Inland to the Ocean. There is no fog from the Ocean blowing over San Francisco, and the weather gets warmer with lots of clear days. You don't have to worry about rain during this time of the year either.
