May is an ideal time to visit San Francisco, offering mild weather, fewer crowds than in the peak summer months, and a vibrant cultural scene. Although the weather can be unpredictable, the month of May generally features milder temperatures, fewer rainy days, and more sunshine than the colder, wetter months.
Daily high temperatures average around 67°F, rarely dropping below 60°F or exceeding 77°F. It is a good idea to bring a light jacket or windbreaker. San Francisco City Guides also recommends wearing comfortable walking shoes for our tours.
Consider spending your Memorial Day weekend, May 22 through May 25, in the City by the Bay. Book your stay now at one of our partner hotels, such as The Jay, the Omni San Francisco, or any of our fabulous accommodations. Plan to join our City Guides walking tours; we will offer over 50 diverse options during Memorial Day weekend. Kick off your summer holidays in San Francisco!
