tips

Practical information

  • Meteo San Francisco : min 13° I max 21°

  • Meteo Los Angeles : min 16° I  max 26°

What to add to your suitcase?

  • Adaptator Type A

  • Sunglasses 

  • SF is a city where the weather changes on a whim and the microclimates create quite variable weather conditions. We recommend to pack a few extra layers: a scarf, a light jacket or warm cardigan for chilly evenings.  Sometimes it's sunny in the morning, but you never know when the town's mascot, Karl the Fog, is going to crash the party.

Dress code?

  • Business Casual : comfortable shoes (city shoes & or basket), jeans & or city pants, shirt, suit jacket
