94* in San Francisco.

[Adsos Letter]

Damn. It's 106* over here in Fairfield (projected 108* by late afternoon) but 94* in The City....damn.

[intrepidity]

1. Hot here too

Don't know *how* hot exactly, but hotter than it's been in awhile.

(Russian River)

[Adsos Letter]

2. And humid.

Over here anyway.

[wryter2000]

3. 100 in Oaktown

Too damned hot.

[Adsos Letter]

5. And the Chevron Richmond oil refinery had a big, toxic flare-off this morning.

Adding a subtle apocalyptic flavor to the day.

[DonaldsRump]

8. We actually saw it and called Richmond 911!

It was a controlled flare according to Chevron was what the emergency dispatcher told us.

What a small world!

[Adsos Letter]

11. We're everywhere!

[DonaldsRump]

15. Howdy, neighbor!

[wryter2000]

16. Oh, ick

Sorry.

[cayugafalls]

4. Kind of hot here in Houston too.

97 with heat index of 108...not bad really.

Not as bad as you got for sure...

[Adsos Letter]

6. It's going to be with us for the next week.

Hovering between high 90's and low 100's (Northeast of SF).

Stay cool.

[cayugafalls]

9. Yup, we hit the 100's starting tomorow and it stays that way for the next week.

Kind of used to it now though, but it still bites.

Think of ice and snow...maybe a few select episodes of GOT.

[wryter2000]

17. You have it worse

It's not very humid here, and nights always get pleasant.

[abqtommy]

7. 103 here in Albuquerque but 70 overnight. Air conditioning at home, in the car and at the store

make things survivable.

[Adsos Letter]

10. Air conditioning is a life saver.

Literally, in some cases.

They want us to conserve energy between 5-8pm this evening because of higher demand.

[Dem2theMax]

12. 100 degrees in the shade in Northern San Diego County.

I'm wilting.

[Adsos Letter]

13. One of my kids lives in Carmel Valley.

They also signal no bueno.

[Dem2theMax]

14. Tell them hello from Escondido!

I'm in a canyon. It makes it even hotter!

[abqtommy]

22. Left Escondido and California in 1995. Miss it sometimes. My two youngest sons were born there.

Never had air conditioning there but went to the beach a lot!

[Dem2theMax]

23. It's changed. A lot.

My parents retired here in 1982. So I've been in the area since then. Now I'm here permanently.

I can remember my dad saying he didn't need to buy an AC unit for years. Then it finally started warming up and he had to put one in.

[abqtommy]

27. My Dad lived in Escondido from 1964 until he died in 2007. It was my second home as a child and

city of residence as an adult at various times. Ah, memories!

[RGinNJ]

18. 111' in my part of Las Vegas

Yeah I know it's a dry heat. Well so is my oven stick your head in there.

[Adsos Letter]

21. That's hot!

I've only been in 111* once, stopping for gas on the way to Lake Oroville. 111*, and windy.

[Jeebo]

19. That must be REALLY unusual for San Francisco.

The newspaper where I worked for 45 years (I'm retired now) used to run a list of high and low temperatures from around the country that Associated Press compiled. For a long time, I was the person at our newspaper who put that list with the weather information on page 2A of every edition. The daily highs and lows for two cities always struck me because they were always the same. Every day, year round, the high temperature in Honolulu was 85, and the high in San Francisco was 65. These were ALWAYS the high temperatures in those two cities. Because I marveled at this incredible year-round consistency, I always checked those two cities to see what their highs were. I repeat, it was ALWAYS about 85 in Honolulu and about 65 in San Francisco. Once, in 1985, I visited San Francisco briefly. I was there for 20 hours, and spent seven hours of that sleeping in a cheap motel room. Most of the rest of that time I spent driving around in a rented car and hanging out at the Fisherman's Wharf. And yes, it was about 65 degrees. In August. I didn't have any cool-weather clothes -- as I said, it was August -- and bought a long-sleeve sweatshirt there at the Wharf.

What I'm saying is, ninety-four degrees Fahrenheit must be unheard of in San Francisco.

20. It is unusual.

What you describe is pretty normal for The City, as your research indicated.

[yuiyoshida]

24. I live by Japantown and really its not that far to the bay or to the ocean ...

Not that I would go...its just makes it a little cooler here at night.. and when the damn fog comes in and makes it freezing cold its horrible for me.. I would rather have the cold than the heat... its easier to stay warm than it is to cool down... since None of us even have a pool.

Down in Southern California... there are apartments with pools everywhere... not here.. there is a private pool near by but you need a frigging membership and pay over 100 bucks a year to use their damn pool. No thanks.

When I was a kid, we had a sprinkler to run through or maybe a water hose to keep us cool, plus ice cream and jars of ice filled Kool-aide.

[Adsos Letter]

25. It never ceases to amaze me.

We can leave our house in broiling temps and by the time we reach San Francisco (about 40 minutes drive) the temps will drop 25-30 degrees.

We just started a 3 hour Ohm-hour period, from 5-8pm. Everything in the house and garage shut down, with the exception of a fan. You relly feel it when the a/c is turned off.

[yuiyoshida]

26. wish I had A/C

as for heat, my place has a space heater.. that's how it is when you live in a garage level granny unit.
