How is everyone in California holding up in this hot weather?

[Kadie]

It is suppose to stay hot for the next week or so. We have been in the 90's here. I wonder if this is any indication of what the Summer is going to be like?

These new forums screw me up.

3. Manhattan Beach

I get coastal cloud cover in the mornings & a seabreeze in the afternoon. So it's like 72F year round.

In January, I went out into the backyard, picked some lemons, and made my own organic lemonade. I mentioned this using AIM to a friend in Boston, and his next message was, "I HATE YOU!"

I am soooooooooooooo bad.

Muwhahahaha!

6. nice

When I was out running errands yesterday, my car thermometer said it was 95 outside just before 1 o'clock. Today will be a little cooler, but it is suppose to be back up in the 90's by the end of the week.

4. Finally fixed the flat on my Harley

and rode in this morning. 6:AM Sacramento temps are heaven. For the ride home I'll stay cool taking Garden Highway along the river. And I'm sure wifey will have the A/C on when I get home.

7. We are south of Sacramento

a bit. The mornings are nice, it is the late afternoon that does me in. Have a real nice ride home.

15. I'm getting ready to leave now

Are you in Elk Grove? I'm almost Antelope.

5. Just fine.

I love this weather. This summer could be a real scorcher though.:)

[Kadie]

8. Can you imagine weather like this through August.

A little warm weather is nice, I just hope we get a little more spring like weather before summer really sets in.

[SemperEadem]

9. nope

it's a fluke of weather...

We still have May and June to get through, and for the most part, it's been my experience out here for 13 years that "June Gloom" arrives in the middle of May and continues for the most part throughout the month of June before moving on. IT's really cool and overcast and the sun, if it can burn through the marine layer, comes out after 3pm.

SoCal is the only place where you can't put your summer clothes or your winter clothes away because the weather fluctuates.

11. June Gloom rolled into Ventura County today...

Thick marine layer, which at 11:50 am still isn't even close to burning off. AT least 15 degrees cooler than yesterday.

26. That happened here Friday afternoon (San Diego)

Temperature dropped almost 20 degrees in 45 minutes.

10. sucky

and our windows have no screens yet so we can't open them without the cats trying to escape

[mitchtv]

12. I miss the north bay!

now in Cathedral City - 104 ystdy, but at least the pool is at 84, so I will survive

[Snow]

13. We moved here 2 years ago, after 11 years in Omaha,

living in Altadena. The climate from March - October here is so much better than Omaha! It gets cool at night! You don't have to run your AC 24 hours a day for weeks on end. You don't even really need a whole house AC, least not where we live. On the other hand, we do miss snow, and real cold. It's strange that snow doesn't come to you here; you go to the snow.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. I'm gonna hate to see my Edison bill.

We can't leave the slider open because the cats will rip the screen and get. So we have to leave the A/C on.

It's one hot mutha!

[Kathleen04]

16. Blech I can't stand the hot weather..

[shanti]

18. it was 95 here in sacramento yesterday

:grr:

[Melsky]

19. I'm in the desert and it's hot

106 today in the valley I live in, and my AC and swamp cooler are both broken. What a crummy day.

[davidinalameda]

20. I went to take trash out last night

and the fog was everywhere

very neat

[shanti]

21. c'mon kadie

you're in the sacramento area...this ain't EVEN hot!!!

[Kadie]

23. LOL

It's been kind of hot for April. I want a little spring time weather before we start cooking this summer. LOL

[xxqqqzme]

22. it is why I live @ the

beach! Left LA about 10:30AM yesterday morning and it was HOT that early. Got back 2 the beach 'n I know it was 20 degrees cooler AND U get the breeze. My house doesn't even have A/C, just ceiling fans.

[slackmaster]

24. Not so well in San Diego - It's already pushing 90 at 10:30 AM

All I've managed to do for the last few days is plant a few vegetables and install more drippers and micro-sprinklers on my drip irrigation system. I really like the little 10 GPH sprinklers.

I figure it will cool off when the June Gloom sets in. At least until the monsoon season starts.

25. supposed to be 108 in the coachella valley today

ugh!!!!!!
