CALIFORNIA
California is a big state, with a lot of
attractions. It stretches over almost ten degrees of latitude (it’s more
than 800 freeway miles from the Oregon
border to the Mexican border). It has a seacoast, deserts, high
mountains, low mountains, and a wide variety of landscapes. Consequently,
it has almost a hundred distinct climatic areas. Places only a few miles
from one another can have very different weather conditions.
Because of the large number of Sunshine Guides available, California is divided
into five areas:
LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN AREA
SAN FRANCISCO METROPOLITAN AREA
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
