San Francisco quietly hits summer rain milestone
San Francisco just quietly notched one of the wettest Julys in the city’s history, according to National Weather Service data going all the way back to the 1870s. Dylan Flynn, a meteorologist for the agency’s Bay Area office, confirmed the statistic to SFGATE on Thursday afternoon, explaining that lingering drizzle from the marine layer squeezed out one more hundredth of an inch of precipitation on Sunday. That puts July 2025 in a four-way tie for the city’s eighth-wettest July, with eight hundredths of an inch of accumulated precipitation. The weather service’s downtown San Francisco weather station, one of the oldest climate sites in the country, previously tracked the same amount of precipitation in July of 1906, 2011 and 2014.
