Burlingame in March
Good time to visit
March feels like winter's last stand before proper California weather kicks in. The crowds haven't arrived yet, but the weather starts cooperating for outdoor activities around town.
Weather
March marks the transition toward spring with milder temperatures and decreasing rainfall. You'll still get morning fog, but afternoons often reach the pleasant low 60s. Rain becomes more intermittent - expect about 8 days of light showers.

All Months
Burlingame's Mediterranean climate makes it pleasant year-round, but April through October offers the best weather. Summer temperatures hover in the mid-70s with minimal fog — a rarity this close to San Francisco.
The annual Art & Wine Festival in September transforms downtown into a street party with over 100 vendors. Hotel rates spike during this weekend, so book early or expect to pay 50% more than usual.
Winter brings occasional rain but temperatures rarely drop below 45°F. January and February see the fewest crowds and lowest hotel rates, making them ideal for budget-conscious visitors. Just pack layers — Bay Area weather changes faster than you'd expect.
Avoid major tech conference weeks if possible. When Salesforce or Google events hit nearby venues, hotel rates double and restaurants get impossible to book. Check conference calendars before planning your trip.
