HEAT WAVE

[SSSdave]

At 4pm it is now 97F outside my residence here in the SF South Bay and feels like it. Tomorrow, Sunday, forecast to reach 102F. At noon when I came back from a 2 mile urban street hike it was only 82F so hot hot dry air moved in from the north. Following shows current conditions across the state with lots of triple digits. Even the higher Sierra is showing lots of warm 80F+ temps and Reno is up near 100F. Worst today is not Death Valley that is only 119F but rather some of the Sonora Desert areas around the Salton Seas to Yuma that are over 120F.

Inside my 4 plex unit is only 73F despite having a broken AC as I let cool air in this morning while it got down to 62F. By sunrise tomorrow morning, my unit is likely to be up near 80F so will drive out to the San Mateo coast where the immediate coast is cooler and do some shore stones photography and while away the day. Lets all hope no more fires start.

Well, it is only 105 here. Pulled the tractor out and washed it as tomorrow I have to drag a massive eucalyptus limb that fell which i cut up to get it to the burn pile. First, air up the tires.
I'm not feeling your pain.

Currently in Albuquerque where it's much cooler than my hometown in SoCal, where it got up to 115 yesterday and cooled down to 82. Supposed to hit 116 today, so not going to get any sympathy from me.

Well, my horse, CR died last night, and it is going to 110 today, and I'm trying to find a renderer to pick him up... on a Sunday.. sigh..

No words can do justice, so sad and sorrowful.

Sunday now 11am and temperature outside is 92F after reaching down to 70F at 7am with a forecast for 104F. A few local spots at higher elevations where the inversion keeps it hot at night on the NWS map now are above 100F. Where it is already ridiculous is the LA basin where now 5 hours from peak temperatures, it is already over 100F everywhere, even hotter than the deserts to the east. It is even showing above 100F temps on 3 of the channel islands way out in the Pacific where the ocean water is only about 70F. This may be the hottest day in some areas of the state during my lifetime. Note am a native of downtown LA.

I was going down to the coast today since I have no AC but have decided to stick it out though may go tomorrow. Inside my residence is just 75F.

Fix your AC already! Just a thought.

So sorry to see this Russ, hopefully CR wasn't in too much pain.
