The frequency of fog is due to a particular combination of factors peculiar to the region. Morning sun heats the ground further inland with temperatures reaching into the 90\u2019s and 100\u2019s. The hot inland air rises and the heavier cold ocean air rushes in to replace it. This flow from the high to the low pressure zone pulls the marine layer through the inland valleys. The marine layer is basically a layer of fog which hangs out in the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Spina Farms (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spina-farms.com\" target=\"_blank\">Spina Farms<\/a> sits on the corner of Santa Teresa Blvd, and Bailey Avenue in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coyote_Valley,_California\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Coyote Valley (opens in a new tab)\">Coyote Valley<\/a>.
