Hey SoCal DUers! Is it HOT where you are at?

[maveric]

Its in the upper 90's here in east San Diego county, with humidity too!

1. It's about 117 here in Vegas.

2. It registered 103 on my friend's car.

*wipes sweat off forehead*

3. I have to go to work in El Cajon.

The AC at the hospital I work at is not running efficiently. The maintanence dept said they can fix it. My patients are on ventilators and very unstable and these clowns (I call the the 3 stooges on drugs),and management wont fix it.

8. At least you work inside!

I have to work in a poorly ventilated warehouse! And in this heat, it gets insanely hot.

4. Hot and humid here in Oceanside

but I am inland about 8 miles. Not even a small breeze (which is unusual).

5. Hot and Humid Here in Mira Mesa

In the northern part of the city of San Diego, east of La Jolla, about 7 miles inland.

6. WAY TOO FUCKIN' hot and I'm indoors in La Jolla

One of the two main AC units for our office building got hammered by a power surge yesterday morning. We're running at 60% capacity with priority given to the production Web and database servers. People come second.

The hum-ditity is going to get worse in a couple of days when the remnants of Hurricane Emily get here in the form of an easterly wave. The NWS is saying we might even get T-storms on the coast. That doesn't happen most years.

14. UPDATE - Someone went out and bought a shitload of popsicles

Everyone in the office is eating them. A pregnant woman gobbled down two Fudgesicles.

7. Yo... it is HOT! But still not as hot as Florida was...

9. Hi, maveric...

It's pretty warm here, upcoast from you...I have the AC on here in my study, set at 77 degrees F. It's cycling...Of course, this really helps the humidity. Outside, it's sweltering and muggy...but not like the countries I just came home from, in the eastern Mediteranean. Awful there...I never sweated so much in my ENTIRE life!

[maveric]

11. I wish I had AC in my home. Just a bunch of fans.

So, aside from the stifling heat, how was your trip?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. It was fabulous...

Lots of cool pics...Just a minute, and I'll edit this to give you the links to my two threads that have some selected pictures on them.

Sorry, the second thread is giving me trouble...won't show up. But this one will give you a good idea of the things I saw...

10. I work in Santa Barbara county & live in Ventura county. Cool @ the coast

as always. I wear long sleeves & sweaters year round here but I'm in a short-sleeved sweater today.

I should mention I'm a native Floridian and think the best weather California EVER has is when the monsoon flow drifts up and we get humidity. It's delicious. I can sleep with the window open & the fan on.

Everyone else is complaining. Not me. But then again I'm not in an interior valley.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. Oh come on. Humidity?

You're from Mass originally. You should know what REAL humidity is like. The dewpoint was 78 in Lawrence yesterday and it was 94 degrees. Now that's humidity!

[maveric]

15. Kathy, I have been spoiled during my 25 yrs out here.

My old friends tell me that I'm "pussed out".
BTW, I was back there (Lawrence/Salem NH) in June and was stunned by the heat & humidity. Mosquitos too.
When the dew point raised a little bit out here peeople freak and do not function well.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

16. it's usually so dry out there, so I can see why people think it's muggy

yesterday was DISGUSTING. Today the humidity is lower, but it's still 94. Tomorrow, the humidity is back.

I can only wonder what my electric bill will be like.

17. Hot in Burbank (but I'm in the office)

It's not too bad at home, in Highland Park. We had a power failure from 10-12:30 last night though.

[Mr. McD]

18. It's a nice cozy 101 here in Riverside

I just went for my daily mile walk, felt great.
