Why This Weather Feels So Good
After weeks of rainy days and chilly temperatures, this warm-up couldn’t come at a better time. The energy in the city shifts when the sun comes out. Sacramento is known for its outdoor lifestyle, and this is when it truly comes alive.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind
-
Sun Protection: Even though it’s spring, the sun can be pretty intense, especially if you’re spending time outdoors. Be sure to wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses if you’re out for a while—your skin and eyes will thank you.
-
Cool Mornings and Evenings: While we’re headed for some warm, sunny days, mornings and evenings are still a little cooler. Be prepared with a light jacket or sweater if you’re heading out early or staying out late.
-
Stay Hydrated: The sunshine will likely make you want to stay outside longer. So, remember to keep a water bottle with you, especially if you’re planning a hike or outdoor activity.
