weather:
castro valley has some of the most incredible weather on earth We are close to San Francisco, but we seldom suffer the cold, damp fog during the day. From April through October, you can expect temperatures to range from 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (20°C to 33°C) during the day. We often enjoy cooler nights as the San Francisco fog eventually makes its way across the Bay and stops at the Castro Valley hills. There are significant temperature fluctuations or micro-climates throughout the Bay Area, and we encourage you to be prepared for 20-degree swings in temperature. Dressing in layers is always appropriate.
