AI Thread Summary
Seattle's weather is currently favorable, prompting a comparison to the East Bay's climate as a potential relocation destination. The East Bay generally experiences more clear days and moderate temperatures, with summer highs ranging from the 70s to 90s, while Seattle has a reputation for cloudiness and rain. Residents note that the East Bay can be hot and dry in summer, with rare frost, and offers lush parks and greenery, though some areas may be dry during summer months. The discussion highlights that the climates of Seattle and Oakland are quite different, with the East Bay providing a more varied weather experience. Overall, the East Bay may offer the sunny days and greenery desired by those accustomed to more temperate climates.

Today's weather in Seattle is amazing! Can anyone currently living in Seattle give me an idea as to how often these type days (few or no clouds, nice blue sky, moderate temps), occur in the East Bay part of the San Francisco metro area?

I am considering a move to that area because of a job opportunity in San Francisco. My other half and I have come to the conclusion that we are most likely to own a home in that area if it is in the Berkeley or Oakland area (generally). Without turning this discussion into one of real estate, and realizing that where I may be working in San Francisco has a sort of unique weather situation of its own, what is East Bay weather like? Are there more clear days throughout the year as compared to Seattle? How are the temps, pretty moderate like Seattle from what I can see? Are there weeks of seemingly unbreakable clouds like there are here in the winter (lately spring, summer and fall too).

I don't need this type of weather everyday, heck, I grew up in New Jersey with cold and depressing winters. I do miss the fact that even in New Jersey during the winter there were days with some sun. I'm hoping the East Bay area may give me some of that back. I have had difficulty adjusting to the cloudy Seattle weather, even after four years of being here.

One last unrelated question, how green and lush is the East Bay area? I'm into landscaping, nice gardens and lush greenery. Am I going to be giving this up? It's been a few years since I've visited and I can't remember too well.

Thanks!

Oakland is hot and dry in the summer. Frost is rare. Many things grow well there.

But um, this is the Washington forum. Maybe you should have this post moved to the California forum. Seattle climate does not resemble Oakland climate.

From the East Bay here... Temps are equally moderate, but we don't get as much rain as you guys do... Summer weather can range from 70s-90s depending on where you are in the Bay Area. If you live closer to San Francisco, you'd see fog almost every day during the winter, but the rest of the East Bay is relatively mild...

Lush greenery? I'd say there are some great parks in the Bay Area... Golden Gate Park in SF is amazing all year long, the hills can be very dry during the summer, but then again it just hasn't rained in a while here...
 
Pardon my ignorance, but what the hell does this have to do with engineering?

Loads! We need to know where it's best to take our 3-hour lunch breaks!
 
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
