Location
Night City is located on the central coast of the western NSA.


Weather
Night City's temperate Northern California location gives it one of the most pleasant climates in the western NSA. Normal temperature ranges from the mid 80s to the low 50s, with white misty fog blanketing the city in the early mornings and evenings. Rainfall is usually about 21 inches per year. Of this, only an average 35% contains an acid/toxicity factor higher than government standards for NSA produced clothing and vehicles. In general, if your clothing is lightly armored (and most clothing is with a bashing soak of 2/lethal soak of 1) adverse affects (staining/ablation) will be negligible.
When visiting Night City, you should wear light to medium clothing, with a light armour jacket (3/2) or ballistic cloth overcoat (4/3) optional. A filter mask and supplemental oxygen are highly recommended as a hedge against inversion smogs and acid rain fog. However, acid-proof slickers, umbrellas, and air-masks are readily available from sidewalk vendors diring smog warning periods at moderate costs (resources 2 is enough nto to worry about paying for it, resources 1 and you probably have a non-disposable kit).
