Surely this is the Apocalypse

It is supposed to hit (8.00 / 1)

103 here in Sacramento today.  Ugh.

It was damn hot at rugby practice yesterday and we started at 6:30 pm.

The really bad thing about this early heat is that it is making an already bad fire season even worse.

silver lining? (8.00 / 1)

My tomatoes love it. Crop is a month early this year.

Not that I don't think climate is a serious catastrophe. Just sayin. :-)

I'm in the wrong place (8.00 / 1)

I'm in an air-conditioned library on the UC Berkeley campus, but I'd so much rather be back home in Monterey, heading to the beach with a surfboard (I'm finally starting to re-learn after 15 years away from it). There's no more perfect day to brave the frigid Pacific waters than when the temps are pushing 90.

You can check out any time you like but you can never leave

Solid 93 here (8.00 / 1)

If not a bit higher probably. At least it's nice at night?

weather.com accuracy (8.00 / 1)

I am set up for daily SMS weather reports from weather.com and pretty much only use it as my alarm clock due to how far off they are. But I love their emergency messages, when I got the tsunami alert I joined a hilarious crowd at Coit Tower with cameras out waiting to take pictures of the end of SF.

We may be doomed, but there will be plenty of cell phone pics of the end.

I wonder... (8.00 / 1)

since this heat wave came just after the gay marriages started, and we had another heat wave after the court case, I really wonder if God really is trying to get us for allowing those "homos" to marry? LOL! :P

My ramblings...

Actually, (8.00 / 1)

God wants you to use your economic stimulus check to purchase an air conditioning unit, bwah hah hah !

It's just over a 100 here in the shade this afternoon in the foothills north of Auburn, and the delta breeze is just starting to kick up, so there's a real distinct cooling trend.

90 degrees at noon in davis (8.00 / 1)

although it's slated to get up to 104 or so today. which is, to be fair, par for the course in late june. can't complain, except to kick myself for not running the whole house fan last night. the house is already pretty warm because of yesterday's hot air in the attic.

a good second opinion for weather is the NOAA's own weather.gov. plus they have the extreme weather warnings color coded by county, which is kinda neat.
