Worldwide Weather Discussion

I find it somewhat surprising that San Francisco is recording max temperatures, mostly in the mid to upper teens, whilst to the north and south temperatures appear to be much warmer. e.g. a few days ago San Francisco was about 17C, whilst Seattle and Vancouver were recording temperatures towards 30C.

Is because this city is in a constantly westerly wind with air coming off a cool Pacific, whilst further north they have perhaps been getting an easterly wind from a fairly warm continent?

good question!
