    The City of San Francisco has the longest consecutive rainfall record in California, dating back to the Gold Rush (i.e., 1849), while temperature and other meteorological data began in 1875. Because of the long period of record, San Francisco is a key climate station for the state. Besides updated records this revision adds a new format, an expanded narrative and many new daily rainfall statistics.
