Californians, how hot is it by you right now (8:25 PM PDT)? It is 89 here

[KitchenWitch]

Thank Edison we have power.

[AlCzervik]

1. 100f. and it feels like it's going to stay hot all night.

even the wind is hot.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Blast furnace.

Wish I could send us all a cool breeze.

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Okay, where the hell *do* you live??

South Barstow? :shrug:









I was gonna say "West Hell," but... same thing.

[AlCzervik]

19. a little south of Sucramento in Elk Grove. edited to add yahoo weather

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Oh, hell

I thought you were in the LA area.



We're closer than I thought. :hi:

[AlCzervik]

23. i'll be sf next weekend i think, gotta take the kids and my sister there.

and in 5 short years hopefully we'll be living someplace near the bay.

[Bennyboy]

2. 99 in Folsom......

Air on, all's good.

[KitchenWitch]

4. Our air is on too.

It is, at least, only 84 in the upstairs of our house. It is 80 downstairs (that is where the thermostat is).

[AlCzervik]

7. i'm not even going upstairs for at least another hour, it's wicked stuffy up there.

i finally put set the temp to 79 about 20 minutes ago so it's going to take another hour to actually cool down enough to stay up there.

[fizzgig]

5. i don't know how you californians do it

that's hotter than it got here all day and, even in the summer, the nights here cool down a good deal (at least most of the time)

[KitchenWitch]

9. I expect this in August

We had one of these in March, we had one in April, we had one in May (I got to go to the mountains to escape most of that one) and we are having one now.

It is killin' me.

[fizzgig]

15. there's something damn wrong with having heat like that in the spring

we've been lucky that's it's been mild so far...we've only broken 90 a few times

[AlCzervik]

11. it's really bad on "Spare the air" days, the air quality is awful and when you go outside

if feels like you there is no oxygen.

[KitchenWitch]

13. My breathing/asthma has been bad the past couple of days.

So far my daughter is actually weathering our piss poor air quality much better than I am, and that is unusual.

[AlCzervik]

17. my nieces are coming out next week and one of them has asthma and so does my sister

i told my sister to make sure they brought whatever meds and inhalers they had even though they might not need them back east right now. I really feel for those of you with asthma in this state.

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. They stopped the perks on those in SF

a couple months ago. No more free Muni rides or anything — gas costs too much.

Now you're just not supposed to drive if at all possible.

[fizzgig]

18. blech

i've experienced that with humidity, but not with air quality...that sounds even worse

[The Straight Story]

6. 96 here in BakersHell

sucks ass.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. 88.7

Thanks goodness for ceiling fans and the pool!

Only have the AC turned to 80...fans make it nice in the house.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. My thermometer says 87

Wunderground's station about half a mile from here says 91.

[KitchenWitch]

12. Mine says 89, wunderground's closest station says 88.8

damn hot for almost 9 pm.

[CatholicEdHead]

20. Time to move back to Minnesota ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. This is the second-hottest day I've seen

in 10 years of living here.



Two years ago, almost to the day:







And the power was out for several hours. x(

[EFerrari]

24. Yahoo! says 93 but that's wrong. Maybe it's almost 80.

I feel a little guilty but I like the heat and the light. If you have extra, send me yours. :)

[LeftyMom]

25. 83 at 9:23

Just got in from keeping an eye on the neighborhood mob 'o kids, I have no idea how they run around in this, even though I did at their age.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear KitchenWitch!

It's "only" 76 here...

But very muggy!

My beloved husband just said he thinks we should leave the windows closed for the night, and run the A/C!

Thank Edison we have power too...

:hi:

[bluesbassman]

27. Hot Damn! It's 10:50 and still 84 in Pleasanton!

Think I'll have to sleep in mah birfday suit tonight!:blush:

[bridgit]

28. right now it's mellow 83.8, but it was hot down in Modesto today 101 i think it was

[Bennyboy]

29. IT is too hot to sleep at 3:15 AM in Folsom......

Just turned the AC on and am waitng to cool down so I can continue my restive nights sleep. 77 degrees.

High today predicted at over 105. Outdoor Obama event at 5 PM. Not sure I'll be making that one.

[huskerlaw]

30. It was 93 at 11:00 last night here

And yes, the a/c did run all night long.

Now, at 6:46 am, it's "only" 75. We'll ignore that it's usually 15 degrees cooler than that at this hour.

:banghead:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

31. It hit 104 last night...

...and right now it is 72.

:toast:

[Bennyboy]

32. 79 degrees at 8 AM!

man oh man is going to be hot as bawls today......... Usually the key is to add 20 degrees to the 10 AM temp to find the days high but that might work out to the temp on the sun if it goes that way today.....

[Bennyboy]

33. 1:25 PM and it is 105 on my thermometer......

Not in the sun. My air is starting to fail me right now......

[tishaLA]

34. I had to run my AC almost all night last night

and I never do that. I went out at 10 AM--I live in downtown LA--and I had to hide in the shade the whole time because the sun is so hot. Yesterday I was walking around little Tokyo for maybe 45 minutes and I got the beginnings of a sunburn.

And to top it off, my apartment building is recently-converted, so there are kinks in it. Like the fact that my AC works great, but the unit leaks all over my carpets, so the hallway to my bedroom was littered with pots last night to catch the water, which seems to be better than getting the carpet soaked AGAIN. At least I have AC, though. That hasn't always been the case.

[Starry Messenger]

35. The google

says it's 94 degrees. It feels like more. It's stupid hot.

MPK

[LeftyMom]

36. It's only 2:30 and 101 outside already.

It's pretty nice in here with the air on, thank goodness.

[ForrestGump]

37. 109°F in Vegas -- not CA, but near the border and I suspect that the thermometer in Baker

is pretty high up there.

In the direct sunshine, of course, it's a lot hotter.

[Left Is Write]

38. I'm not in California, but it's icky hot here too. (95-ish)

[BuddhaGirl]

39. 95 here in Mill Valley (S. Marin Co.)

it's 85 inside the house and we have no air conditioning :-( Lots of fans going, though!

I think it's supposed to start cooling off tomorrow...jesus christ I freaking hope so!! LOL

[Bennyboy]

40. Wow, that is hot for Marin......

S'posed to cool tommorow though so hang in there...........

[BuddhaGirl]

41. thank you!!

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

42. I am thinking I will never sleep again.

x(

My daughter had a swim meet yesterday. We were outside from 7 in the morning until almost 3 in the afternoon.

[begin_within]

43. We survived the whole weekend without air conditioning...

Friday we drove to La Jolla, which was hot (surprising) and humid (not surprising). Saturday we drove to Mt. Laguna and Julian, which were hot but very dry so not all that uncomfortable. The drive back home was murderously hot, especially through Lakeside and El Cajon. (The air conditioning in my car is broken). Today slightly cooler, but still very hot at mass in Mission San Diego. Somehow we survived but it was rough on my 89-year-old mother. About 80 now here in San Diego.
