How Hot Is It In The West?

Noel7 · ‎03-09-2010

Record heat and it's scary. Climate change is hitting the West hard.

How hot is it in the West? Let us count the ways

1. Some planes can't fly

2. Heat records are being shattered

3. Wildfires are burning

4. Power is being knocked out

5. Roads buckle under the heat

Too hot, for sure. It's just too early for it to be this hot. It was 101F here yesterday. Upper 90s for the next week. It's not even summer until tomorrow! ugh. I hate summer so much and the summers here just get longer all the time. /rant

Hi Noel!

DH has been in So Cal since May and said it's cloudy and gloomy almost every day. Today included!

I remember years ago over 20 driving up to Lake Tahoe from SF and stopping in Sacramento that was 107. Please don't tell me about dry heat. It felt like the ground was melting. You could hardly breathe it was so hot. I don't know how people do it that live there and in AZ and other parts out West that experience very hot weather. I will take the cold any day over heat. I hope people stay indoors as much as possible in AC and stay safe.

Hi @Lucky Charm

Northern California and Southern California have always been very different.

SoCal always had the heat, NorCal is traditionally cooler and wetter except for some inland areas.

We are lucky enough to have the fog cooling us off a lot of the time, but it all but disappeared when we had the drought. Climate cchange has hit us hard.

hot in the valleys around LA - 90's but dropping off to 80's in a few days. i remember a year when we were hot from January to November - no June gloom, no winter rain to speak of........every year is different. one year we had the heat in July then went cooler in August.
