Weather Phenomena
Weather conditions can vary greatly from one end of the tunnel to the other. In summer, for example, motorists may enter the tunnel from the east where it is sunny and warm, and emerge on the west end into fog and cold. In winter, during spells of inland tule fog, the reverse can occur.
On a sunny day, it may be well over 90° at the east portal, due to the inland nature, while a more coastal-like 70° on the Oakland side.

Famous quotes containing the words weather and/or phenomena:
“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“What were the phenomena of the world today? If I knew little else, I knew the answer—war, and the preparations for new war.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
