San Francisco and San Diego
The verdict for February
Lunar New Year parade
+The Chinese New Year Parade.
–Still the rainy season.
February often brings the Chinese New Year Parade, one of the largest outside Asia, through Chinatown and Union Square.
Green and quiet
+Whales and low prices.
–The wettest month.
February is the wettest month, but rain is still light and the hills turn green.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
