I went back home to the bay area this last weekend. I noticed the difference in the air quality and smog along with the level of humidity and moisture in the air. When I first arrived in the bay, I noticed how the air was fresher because of the constant bay breeze coming through the shore. I also noticed the intensity of the sun is a lot less extreme. This was difficult to adjust back to after living in Sacramento for over a year now. When it hit night time the fog began to roll in. Now I have lived in Sacramento for long enough to get adjusted the the climate out here. I noticed the fog is still thicker in Sacramento, but it only shows up in the winter times unlike the bay area where it is there year round. I also noticed a difference in the air also. When the breeze comes in, in the bay area it is a cool refreshing breeze. While Sacramento and the entire valley is more of a frozen and nippy wind. This has been one thing that has taken some time to adjust. Last winter I got sick constantly because I was not used to wearing many layers during winter. In the bay area I wore shorts and long sleeve shirts during winter and was just fine.
