And while the park is still technically open, some guy are canceling excursions, and many guests are just adding up the reservations. San francisco has some of the worst air in the region right now. Here is look at the haze from the top of the Salesforce Tower cameras, just the latest thing stress and people out right now. But maybe the key to finding calm is just to take a deep breath. Reporter first covid, then shutdowns, job loss, fires, bad air into deepening anxiety about the future. Take a moment and breathe. All day long 25,000 times a day we are breathing. If we are doing that improperly the body is just never going to be healthy. Reporter he is a science journalist based in San Francisco. For four years, he has investigated the science of breathing and compiled his knowledge into a book. At first i had a lot of skepticism when i was first researching this. Reporter but when he discovered to take your breath away. How you breathe is a game changer. When you are breathing through your mouth, the reason why that is so damaging for you is specifically because youre not breathing through your nose. Reporter the nose tackle little hairs or filters is a first line of defense against pollution, pathogens, even virus is. Nobel prize winner believes just breathing through the nose may even help defend against covid, thanks to nitric oxide. You 20 more oxygen and produce six times more nitric oxide if you breathe through your nose. Nitric oxide increases blood flow to the lungs. We breathe through this labyrinth of tubes, it is heated, it is moistened and conditioned by the time our lungs.

It drops one a category by saturday, sunday and monday but in the medium and high category on friday. I spoke to 5 00 about how our seabreeze disappeared which allowed a lot of that smoke to kind of settle down near ground level. I want to talk about why the seabreeze disappeared and help track that smoke near ground level reducing the airquality. We have to talk about light exists in the first place that one of the sun comes up, he goes to work, trying to heat up every service on the earth, whether it is land or whether it is water, water has a higher specific heat capacity, just needs it heats up more slowly. That is what specific is always cold pickled end up land heats up more quickly. It starts to rise up, warming will always rise from that is why your attic is within your basement. Records a relative vacuum near groundlevel. Overwater that air is cool down by the water underneath things down come that cool air tends to go lower and lower, and the in between allows the air to flow from highpressure to low pressure. Everything goes from high to low in the and is here everything goes from hot to cold and the atmosphere is welcomes that is create the wind that we usually see kicking and every afternoon, onshore breeze. However, when you block the heat from it reaching the ground level, like with a layer of smoke, that shuts the whole thing down and we have seen very light went across the bay area today, this is just normal when that would exist without that onshore effect and is not very strong so it is not helping to stir the atmosphere around, it is not helping to disperse smoke at all, it is settling down to ground level and is going to be trapped in place. The sacramental forecast model, looking at wildfire smoke. The whole depth of the atmosphere, from 7 00 tomorrow morning through 11 00 friday morning. Purple is bad. Bread is not any better and it does not feel like it is not a whole lot better than that timeframe when you look at the whole thing. Just groundlevel, same forecast model, this is just the surface mode, a little bit as we head into tomorrow morning but it is still going to be tough to get rid of it on a more permanent basis. We need a largescale shift in the overall weather pattern, that is more likely to happen as we head into the weekend and early next week so below average airquality, hazardous for sensitive groups. Severe asthma or emphysema, and it is going to tend toward unhealthy for everybody as we head towards is stuck weather pattern in place until the storm system offshore wind makes its way toward the coast, that allows seabreeze to kick back in and it will not be as smoky but we could be waiting several days but that. There is all that smoke still out there right now. Temperatures tonight dropping down into the upper 50s and that is about as far as were going to drop, the blanket of smoke keeps us cold in the day but also keeps us from dropping too far at night. Right around 70 degrees into the santa clara valley, a couple degrees warmer than today, even around the bay temperatures that and 50s across the board. For the north, under smoke is eshe mperatures risingup into t without that marine influence. Temperatures will gradually return to close what is normal this time of year as we slowly get to the deepest smoke.
