I used to like the high heat in Redding. The trails were clear and it was always a bit quieter. Kind of like the silence of a cold winter day.

Now I am back to a humid hot and it sucks...

It didn't go above 78
I had to wear a jacket in the morning

Typical June gloom, enhanced by climate change that warms the ocean, causing local low clouds that keep the area cooler than normal
The beaches are not that hot, as usual, yet

August may be warmer

I see 122F online. Where'd you get that 130 number?

One website said 122, and another said 127.

Thank God the June Gloom is over.

I thought I was going to die of cloudy mornings followed by sunny afternoons.

Another example I can show my kid when he questions why he must study for his spelling test.

A high of 76 here today and the rivers are still swollen, summer sucks. These cool days allow for cooking indoors so it's not too bad.

I heard semis were catching fire from their brakes overheating while dropping into the S. San Joaquin on the grapevine?

oh, I remember it happening as a kid in Bako but the frequency is way up from what I am told...the funny thing is I remember a lot of days 105-110+ plus growing up and folks hardly blinked. Musta been the eastside Oakies/Mexicans that didn't give a damn.
