San Francisco facts that shape the job

- San Francisco logs roughly 30.0 inches of precipitation in an average year. Measured at the Bolinas 0.2 W (CA) station. Rainfall at that level finds any lifted shingle or cracked pipe boot.Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, station US1CAMR0030, checked 2026-10
