The Wikipedia page the post's author linked to has weather by month. I confirmed that SF had the coldest average temp in June and July. Mark Twain's apocryphal quote is backed by data.
I live in SF, and agree, it's quite rare when it is too hot during the day. It seems like the gp poster was referring to the SF Bay Area rather than SF. I work in the South Bay and while I hated the pre-pandemic commute, the warm spring/summer/fall weather (and Asian food) were the two redeeming factors. SF's winters were slightly milder than the mild South Bay winters.
As someone else pointed out, the South Bay of Los Angeles has better weather than pretty much anywhere else, at least in California (it is similar to the Mediterranean and Redondo Beach is known for its "Hollywood Riviera").
Supposedly Stanford was founded in Palo Alto after Leland Stanford Jr. hired a cartographer to look around the US to find the city with the best weather (maybe it was most sunny days). A bit too warm for my liking but it's pretty darn nice.
