According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 5.5
square miles (14 km2), all of it land. The city spreads from the mostly flat
lowlands near San Francisco Bay into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains,
which rise to more than 600 feet (180 m) above sea level in Crestmoor and more than
700 feet (210 m) above sea level in Portola Highlands. San Bruno City Hall sits at
an official elevation of 41 feet (12.5 m) above sea level.

Portions of Mills Park, Crestmoor, and Rollingwood are very hilly, featuring
canyons and ravines. Creeks, many of them now in culverts, flow from springs in the
hills toward San Francisco Bay. Just west of Skyline Boulevard and outside of city
limits is San Andreas Lake, which got its name from the San Andreas Fault. The lake
is one of several reservoirs used by the San Francisco Water Department, providing
water to San Francisco and several communities in San Mateo County, including San
Bruno west of I-280.
Climate

San Bruno has a mild Mediterranean climate characterized by mild to warm, dry
summers and cool, wet winters. San Bruno has much milder temperatures than most of
the state. Owing to its relatively mild temperatures, the city's climate closely
resembles that of an oceanic climate. Other regions of the world with similar
temperatures to San Bruno include much of the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand,
southern Australia, the coastal areas of Norway and much of Scandinavia (where mild
climates are often found).[a]

Since 1927, the National Weather Service (formerly the U.S. Weather Bureau) has
maintained a weather station at the nearby San Francisco International Airport
(formerly Mills Field). According to the official records, January is the coldest
month with an average high of 55.9 �F (13.3 �C) and an average low of 42.9 �F (6.1
�C).
