Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in MY as well as at San Francisco, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

The year in San Francisco
The climate normals are not available; therefore, some details may vary. Generally, San Francisco has a cool summer fog but can also experience unexpected weather.
| Busiest |
early Jun to late Aug — Summer weather attracts tourists to the city's many outdoor attractions.
early Dec to late Dec — Holiday season brings visitors for events and shopping.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Mar to late May — Spring offers mild weather and fewer crowds.
early Sep to late Oct — Early fall has pleasant weather and less tourist congestion.

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
