Oakland Climate & Smartphone Care
Mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers along the coast. Inland valleys get much hotter. Wildfire risk is a growing year-round concern.
Winter concerns

Summer concerns
- • Wildfire smoke clogs laptop cooling fans and deposits residue on circuit boards
- • Dry heat pushes batteries past safe operating temperatures, reducing their lifespan
