...at our house in NorCal. It has been over 105 for four days. It is supposed to break today to the mid 90's.

We just got back from evacuation for a week due to fires.

Good times...

sorta like you feel in the dryer... I know about Humidity...as have been back east during the sweltering heat. IF you get 90 degrees and there is a ton of humidity, than its hard to breath and your body over heats very fast. Even drinking something cold, doesn't really help.

When I Lived in Arizona having A/C was a must. Every place had them that I looked at. So I was constantly paying for the A/C in summer and used it till winter time when it was a bit cooler.

It's cloudy but the color of the sun is probably due to the smoke in the atmosphere.

I spent I think it was about two to three years in Scottsdale and it was so nice there. I remember being surprised at the temperature being 99 degrees at midnight.. The one thing Arizona needed was an ocean and I missed the lady Pacific badly and had to come back to my home town because well ...it was home.
