Ever wonder what the weather is like in Berkeley in August?

It's cold.

When I returned to campus the other week, I laughed as Tom and I drove by someone who was putting on a fuzzy winter coat. When I stepped out of the car, I no longer laughed.

We've had a couple of days where we've seen the sun. Usually that's at about 2pm, after the world has had ample time to heat up. Today it's 61 degrees with 73% humidity. There's a mist that covers everything in the mornings and evenings, plus a constant drizzle of rain throughout the day.
