It's 106 degrees right now in San Francisco

The news just said it has broken all reported records. As a native I never remember it ever being over 95 degrees. I get nervous in this weather because earthquake type of weather.

While I was out earlier my car thermometer said it was 107 outside. We don't have a lot of air conditioning so I worry about the elderly who have no way to cool off. I've got three fans going on.

109 in Healdsburg. It hurts your skin to walk outside. We just have fans in the house. We have three hives of honey bees in our oaks and they are so thirsty. I put marbles in a shallow dish with water so they won't drown. I have filled it up three times today. They are desperate.

My oil furnace was running last night.

I'm getting my sweaters out.

Except I just checked and your humidity is 47%. That's a steam bath.

Have a little tub of cool (not cold - cool) water and put your feet into it. It really helps.

Good luck!

But at least most people have A/C or swamp coolers!

106 in SF is a full-blown emergency!
