enjoyed the outdoors, the smog reminded us that today we received the first spare the air alert . many more are expected as the bay area primes for a severe fire season. >> i'm scared. i think it's going to get worse and worse. >> reporter: last year that bay area air quality management district recorded 52 spare the air days , compared to 26 the year before. you would think that in 2020, with so many people staying at home, the air quality would have been better. except that last year we had so many acres burning. >> we don't know how this year will look, as far as wildfire is . but the conditions are very dry and we are seeing high temperatures already. >> reporter: add to that the number of cars on the road producing harmful emissions. the air ct avoid driving during those days to reduce air pollution. marty decided to go electric.

>> i foresaw the future and eventually everyone is going to half to adapt. we want to save this earth and make it a better place for future generations. >> i do have an air filter at home. now that we are so used to wearing masks, i'm guessing i will probably be wearing them not just for covid, but for the air-quality. >> reporter: if you have to go outside, only n95's protect prot from the wildfire smoke. unfortunately, no mask will protect you from the smog. i have three air filters at my house. as of may 17th of this year, 2021, a total of 2060 wildfires in california have been reported by the california department of forestry and fire protection. there is a good site where you can monitor and see the air- quality where you live. that is airnow.gov.

part, to this robust onshore flow. we have 45 mile-per-hour winds at san francisco right now, bringing cooler air and cleaner air over the next couple of days. and more breathable air. i will have the full forecast little bit later. >> people were hitting the beach to cool down on this hot memorial day. look at all of those folks out there in alameda, where people and wildlife enjoyed the water. many beachgoers sat out bellas and tends to stay safe from the sun. >> big crowds conversed on santa cruz this weekend, wondering what life was like before that pandemic. they got a taste of it today, but it doesn't mean businesses were quite ready for the rush. >> reporter: this afternoon the return of holiday traffic on highway 17, bumper-to-bumper bringing a sense of normalcy as drivers make their way from the valley to the beach. >> it's nice to be around people. >> reporter: as covid-19 cases

this week, as part of our

efforts to build a better bay area we are focusing on bay area tourism. how it's changed and how it's bouncing back among the most iconic visited destinations in san francisco are pure 39 and fisherman's wharf. we explain how the pandemic impacted this area and how it is faring as the city reopens. >> reporter: among the many places in san francisco that sat dark and quiet during the pandemic, fisherman's wharf and pier 39 were on top of the list. for a good part of the year little to no tourism in the city made it so hard for so many in this area. but things are changing, and just in time for summer. although, of course and san francisco, it means you need a jacket. this is where the action is. >> absolutely. >> reporter: to show us around and tell us how things have changed, we met up with taylor safford, president of pier 39. people are out and about. >> the reality is it's only a

fraction of what we normally see, visitation wise. >> reporter: pier 39 usually gets 50 million visitors a year. over the past 12 months they've only had 2 million. though it looks pretty busy right now, it is nowhere near normal. >> right now we are doing 15% to 20%. >> reporter: the biggest shift is who is coming. pre-pandemic 20% of visitors came from the nine counties that make up the bay area. now 70% of visitors are locals. >> it has shifted dramatically. which is wonderful, because we are having an opportunity to have so many more people visit us men would have normally. >> reporter: that's a trend. president george jacobs is during the pandemic memberships have gone up. >> it is mostly locals and they are happy they are discovering local attractions. >> reporter: that's just one several dining, in a year that's been extremely challenging.

the aquarium had to lay off 50% of their staff and furlough an additional 20%. since reopening to limited capacity in march they've been able to rehire some of those workers and hope to rehire more as the summer goes on. >> we are looking forward to the june 15th announcement of perhaps 100% reopening. we do require 75% to breakeven. but 50% is better than zero. >> reporter: after the aquarium, we went over to fishers men's wharf, seeming a 202% increase in visitors the spring compared to last. speaking of locals visiting the area, it really is fun to play tourist or a day in your own city. of course, no trip to the fisherman's wharf area isn't complete without a trip to the bonavista cafe for an irish coffee. the bonavista cafe is doing pretty well. general manager larry silva says irish coffees to go is what saved them. >> having a high percentage of irish coffees, versus a normal restaurant with a high percentage of food, we've always been able to stay in the

black. >> reporter: but remnantsofe pa visible. some of fisherman wharfs most iconic restaurants are boarded up and it's unclear if they will ever reopen. >> i feel bad. a lot of my neighbors could not make ends meet. especially on jefferson street. that's a struggle. some of them can't do outdoor. >> reporter: silva believes with the hotels in the neighborhood reopening, more restaurants will too. >> we are expecting a really, really, really good summer. and we are hoping that the places that are boarded up still have enough ability to reopen. we need them all to be open. >> reporter: and businesses too. one of them that is bouncing back- the yellow go cars. last year at this time they had the owner tells us right now they are almost back to pre- pandemic levels. the owner is nathan witherington.

he and his wife both work in tourism and said the start of the pandemic was terrifying for their family. >> we figured we would put a plan together, sell our house, cash out, move somewhere to hunker down and see what happened. >> reporter: when you see the cars around the city you forget there is a human and person behind at who has to pay the bills. >> it's not just me, it's my staff. i had to go and let go 100% of my staff. it's heartbreaking when wendy you have to say to everybody, i'm sorry. >> reporter: he says he got through it and has hired back much of his staff at this beech street location. although his second location remains closed. still, he is cautiously hopeful for the summer, even moving his family back towards the city. >> it's looking good. i'm a lot more confident now. >> reporter: back here at pier 39 it really did feel alive. safford says just five businesses out of 100 on the tier close because of the pandemic. a success rate they are proud of.

>> this is a gift and card store. >> reporter: as hopeful as things seem, it will likely take years to reach a full recovery. safford says international travelers are vital for their businesses here, since they typically spent four times that of a local. but compared to a year ago, seeing people walking around enjoying the fear is magical. >> sl i hear the angels singing, yes! >> reporter: and we had a pretty great time too. >> such a fun spot. all week long we are looking at a return to tourism in the bay area. tomorrow is the return of conventions. wednesdays, hotels and the homeless. thursdays, vaccine passports and friday, one country tourism. >> you mentioned wine country and spencer was like, oh!

here i am! i'm ready! >> i reacted [ laughter ]. i couldn't help myself. one country is really beautiful , even if you don't enjoy one. >> here is a look at the forecast animation. we will have fog returning to the coastline. a nice brisk contraflow. cooling will occur near the coast and bank during the overnight hours and into tomorrow. inland areas will be fairly warm tomorrow. overnight low temperatures will be generally in the mid to upper 50s. mild in most places overnight and warming inland, but no more triple digits tomorrow. except maybe way up near ukiah. most inland locations will have highs tomorrow in the upper 80s to low 90s. whittlesey mid-70s around the bay shoreline and upper 50s around the coast. here is the accuweather seven- day forecast. gradual cooling will continue to the end of the weekend amateurs rebound a few degrees over the weekend. it will be a mild to warm weekend. no more hot weather is expected for a while.
