The weather in San Francisco is affected by its position next to the Pacific Ocean. Because it is such a large body of water, the temperature of the Pacific Ocean does not change as much as the land over the course of a year. How does the Pacific Ocean help explain the weather differences between San Francisco and Kansas City
the climate of San Francisco is influenced by the Pacific Ocean. The cool California current comes from the north. Upwelling brings cold water from the deep. So the water offshore is cold.
