SF Gate – If you thought Thanksgiving Day was unusually cold this year in San Francisco, you were correct. In fact, it tied a century-old record. The high temperature in the city on Thursday was forty-eight degrees. That tied a record high temperature for the coldest date for San Francisco in the month of November. That record had stood unchallenged since November 27th, 1896, when it last happened. According to the National Weather Service, the coldest high-temperature day ever in San Francisco was a freezing thirty-five degrees on December 11th, 1932.
That day also holds the distinction for the coldest record low temperature ever recorded in the city, which is twenty-seven degrees. San Francisco was not alone dealing with below-average temperatures. The NWS reported most of the interior North Bay dealt with below-freezing temperatures overnight. Novato Airport hit a low of 23 degrees. Santa Rosa and Napa County Airport fell to twenty-six. Sonoma Airport bottomed out at twenty-seven degrees. The mercury hit the freezing point at Livermore Airport and temperatures bottomed out at forty-one in San Francisco, and thirty-seven degrees at Oakland Airport and in San Jose at Reid Hillview.
