Actually the front door... and stepped out into 107°F heat. Coming back inside, the 78°F temperature actually feels cool.

This is Sacramento. Luckily it's going to cool down quite dramatically soon. Tuesday morning it will be cool enough to wear a light jacket.

How do you folks who live in really hot places like Phoenix deal with the constant oppressive heat?

Those look like fairly decent night time temps for sleeping.

if you were rgG posting about opening an oven door, I would have fainted.......

Last night (in Sacramento) it was over 80º after midnight.

UNCOOL!

I had a friend that moved to Scottsdale from Sacramento and when asked about the heat, he said that he would go from his air conditioned house to his air conditioned car to his air conditioned job and back again. How hard can it be?

That year they broke a record for consecutive days over 110º (something like 20) - he moved the next year. It was just too oppressive.

Went to the graduation at Davis HS last night. It spanned 3 hours in 102°+ heat. I am really surprised there were no medical issues amongst the thousands in attendance. I see Del Oro HS cancelled theirs this morning after several incidents. I watched all of the grandparents very carefully last night.

Coming home today was pleasurable. Hit a high of 109° in Sacramento but dropped to a cooler 85° over Donner Summit. Our Monday forecast shows a high 0f 69°. Apparently my insistence on prepping our boat for summer has affected the weather again.

We drove up to Sacramento yesterday, for the purpose of looking at soapstone countertops. That was not fun, being out in a stone yard standing between red hot slabs of stone. The air temperature was 109. It was nice driving back to Berkeley where is was only 65. Pretty incredible 44 degree drop in 1.5 hours of driving.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

I can take 107° and no humidity, but 87° and almost 100% humidity like it has been here lately, is literally killing me.
I was in Vegas in the middle of July a few years ago, and was fine with their scorching heat, since they didn't have this awful humidity. No matter how much you sweat, in this humidity, you cannot cool off.

I remember driving through the Caldecott from Orinda to Berkeley and seeing 20°F temperature differentials over about a couple miles at around 4pm. Walnut Creek was probably 30° warmer.

You ain't got nothin on this.
This was there to greet me when I got in my car.
Luckly it was a dry heat.

Been pretty damn hot and humid in Atlanta for the last few weeks. But it is nothing compared to south Louisiana, especially New Orleans.

I went to college at UCDavis and spent several summers there. When I decided to go to grad school in Atlanta, I checked average summer temperatures and thought it would be no big deal coming from the Davis area. Was I ever wrong. The humidity is just a killer.

is that a euphemism for...........???
