The interesting thing is that most still days in San Francisco
can be attributed to equilibrium between the Bay and the Central
Valley. Thus, we do actually get a couple weeks of sun and humidity
in May and October, when the valley doesn't heat up quickly enough to
make a difference.
http://sfgate.com/weather is what I use lately to figure out
the microclimate differences. It's got a nice 3-D fog forecast in an
animated GIF (LZW patent expired!), and it's about as good as anything
else. Just avoid the overall "sunny"/"partly cloudy" sort of
descriptors altogether: they just don't apply to San Francisco very
well.
