SF’s Air Quality Improves: Gives Us Gorgeous Views
With most of us staying home and significantly fewer cars on the road, Mother Earth is healing. Our air quality here in the Bay hasn’t been this great in a very long time.
According to ABC7, “The Air Quality Index, or AQI, dropped into the single digits in parts of the North Bay and South Bay. (Any AQI score between 0 and 50 is considered “good” by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.)”
SFGATE reports that SF’s air pollution is 38% lower than normal. With these clear skies, locals are seeing drastic improvements in their visibility.
Users on Twitter shared some gorgeous shots showing off their impressive views.
Also, we love this joke from SF Station. If only we could see Yosemite from here!

There is not a human alive who has seen the air this clear.
From the top of Twin Peaks I could see Point Reyes, the Napa and Sonoma mountains, the South Bay, Point Bonita, the Golden Gate.
The beauty is painful. pic.twitter.com/dkijViwX5k
