Blog Assignment 1

I've noticed that as we've gotten closer to the autumn equinox, the days have gotten shorter and the nights have progressively gotten longer and longer. During the peak of summer the days were extremely long, with sun rise coming around 6am and not setting till nearly 9pm. Now the sun is starting to rise around 7am and is setting around 7pm. We are now only two days away from the autumn equinox and even though the weather is still really hot, the nights are still getting colder and longer.
I just returned from a trip to Los Angeles and I noticed the same thing out there. Even though the Troposphere and Atmosphere in Los Angeles is polluted and dirty, the days were still hot yet it was getting dark alot sooner than it was over the peak of the summer months. Along with that, I also noticed the change of temperature from an inner city area as compared to an open rural area. In downtown Sacramento and Los Angeles I noticed that it felt warmer and slightly more humid as compared to the Elk Grove area and the Laguna area of Los Angeles. This now makes more sense to me on what we were talking about in class with the population density and the wind patterns changing the temperature of an area.
