I’ve looked up sources for that before and I believe they use the airport and sometimes a weather station on Rincon Hill. Some of those also don’t count the marine layer (is the fog). That’s probably twice as many sunny days as Alamo Square (middle of the city near me) and three times as many as Sunset or anything on the pacific side of town.

You can get a better picture of this on http://fog.today which has a tool showing historic cloud cover including the marine layer.

Sure, but most of the people SF / Oakland don't live in Sunset. Saying that SF's weather is dismal just isn't true for the majority who live and work here. Which isn't to say that everyone experiences glorious weather daily, to be sure, but it's pretty nice for most people.

I’m saying SF’s weather is dismal to me. I’m not saying anything about the rest of the Bay Area, or to people who like not seeing the sun from May 15 to August 15 each year.
