I live in San Francisco and I’m looking to rent a house with a pool or on a lake for Columbus Day weekend this October, and want guaranteed warm weather. Where’s the best weather? The city or town doesn’t have to be scenic or touristy; we just want to have a nice weekend by a pool.
Gilroy and Hollister get warm, but in mid-late fall it gets pretty mild. I used to live there too, so I know that it is close enough to the coast to get a nice cooling breeze in the afternoon, and a sweater is necessary in the evening.
The farther inland you go, the hotter it will get. I went to college at Davis, and a typical early October day could be 90 or higher, and it won’t start cooling down until midnight. The farther away from the Sacramento River Delta you go (north or south of highway 80, basically), it will get even hotter due to the loss of the "delta breeze" that keeps Davis and Vacaville weather at a moderate 90ish most of the time. Looking at a map, Modesto, Roseville, Merced, and Yuba City look promising. The hottest weather in the valley is at each end, Redding and Bakersfield, if you are willing to drive farther.
Keep in mind that I can’t guarantee a freak storm or unseasonably cool weather won’t happen.
the valley like Gilroy. That city is like an oven

You might try some of the areas near Lake Berryessa, Clearlake or Lake Sonoma. The north bay area of SF, like napa and sonoma counties stay pretty warm through Halloween.
Most of the north bay has "indian summers" where it is normally warm in the fall.

There are no guaranteed warm weather but I would try Folsom ca. just above Sacramento. Great little town. October is still pretty warm and so is the lake in case you get board with the pool.

Inland from the East Bay Area, like Alameda and Contra Costa County. Dublin, Tracy, Vallejo, Concord, etc.

Cloverdale, up north. I think it got up to 100 degrees this past week. The city is totally not touristy, actually a little trashy, but its no doubt hot

Yeah probably somewhere in the middle of nowhere like Gilroy or Vacaville.
