I can't quite believe this, but it hit 108 degrees here at my house today.
108!! September 25, **108** degrees.
I can hardly believe it - when I opened my front door and the furnace blast hit me in the face was shocking - but when I checked my front porch always-in-the-shade thermometer I was stunned.
I don't remember it EVER being this hot here, this late in the year, and I have lived in this area for more than forty years. And there are still folks in the foothills with their electric shut off, so no a/c. PG&E has listed "cooling stations" for some foothills residents - which means leave the dog at home and drive ten or fifteen miles to where-ever-it-is so you can cool off inside a building for a while - then drive the ten or fifteen miles back home.
A bad situation, all around. But with the PG&E infastructure in disrepair, I guess this is the only option to prevent the aging electric towers from sparking fires.
Tomorrow hot again - likely 100 degress+, then it is supposed to cool off into the 70's.
What is the temp at your place, everyone? Almost anywhere has got to be cooler than it is here, let me know your temp - might make me feel cooler!
Was it this hot at your house, Velda?
