I wanted to start visible a thread about ways to cope with the extreme heat

70. Feel lucky being out WEST... in that

Back east extreme heat mixed with Humidity is nasty. Out West, I have been in 100 degree plus days in Arizona, and its all DRY heat. Dry heat to me is more comfortable.. though in places like Arizona, you need an A/C. One thing you never want to do is go barefoot on an extreme heat day...you can probably cook eggs on the black topped asphalt!!

When I was in Upstate, NY and it would get up to 90 degrees, the humidity was horrible. You could hardly breath ..and even running though a sprinkler didn't help much.

I think I am in the best place possible in San Francisco, now. We have fog all summer, the temperatures remain in the mid to upper 60s. If you are down by Fisherman's wharf you get the breezes off the bay. If you are out in the Avenues you get the wind from the Ocean coming in.



Its night time though, when it starts to get really cold in the Summer times. The fog clings around everything, seeps into walls, sweaters, blankets, and chills you to the bone. There is something about very cool temperatures and moisture thick as fog together.
unless you are wrapped up very tight, it will make you shiver all night.
