August 3rd - Finally turned on the A/C
Wow - what a mild summer. Finally ran the air yesterday for a few hours, but was still able to open up around 6pm. What a mild summer so far, but I'm not complaining. So Cal Edison probably isn't happy tho...

It's not the heat, it's the Heat AND the Humidity...

It is redonkulous here man - I'm in Socal too - down by the beach and the last two nights with my windows open I have had to turn on my bed heater. It's crazy. Normally I'm sweating it naked with the wife (grin) with no covers of any kind and all the windows open and possibly the house fan on. We don't have AC but right about now is the time of year we always say we wished we had it. Normally we have about 4 weeks, last two in July, first two in August where we could use some air. The rest of the year we would never need it.

I don't have any AC and really don't need it. I moved into this place in Sept last year and had maybe 3 or 4 days that I wanted to have the fan going. week ago I added blankets back onto the bed. Weird summer at the coast...

With the bicycling in this heat, I'm OK with sweating.
Going into the pool in about an hour...

That is cool even by Santa Monica standards.
90 deg here in Upland. Low 60's/hi 50's at night.

You didn't use it during that heat wave we had 2 or 3 weeks ago? Mine was pumping for sure! Now if only I had AC for the commute home.

It won't be that cool in Long Beach. For a coastal city, we get about the same temps as downtown Los Angeles while our neighboring beach cities are 10 degrees cooler. So today we were in the high 70's where normally we would be in the high 80's and even 90's.
I'm lovin' it, but it can't last. I see Sept as 90/100 all month. October too. |

Been in Santa Monica for almost a year, previously lived in west LA since 2002, was inland before that (Pasadena and Claremont) so I know all about the typical heat. This is the oddest summer I've seen in 47 years of SoCal living (subtract 1.5 years for SF/Berkeley). Our June Gloom is extending into August with no end in sight. We've had about 3 "high/normal" days so far where it got out of the 70's. But SM only gets hot (say 90) a few days out of the year, and in SoCal Sept is the hottest month so we've still got time. But it has been miserable beach weather so far. Right now it is reminding me of SF - 4pm, cloudy outside and in the 60's. Well, in SF it would probably be in the 50s this time of year with blowing fog

We have had over 20 days this summer in NW Ohio that were 90 or above. Kind of getting used to it now. Winter was pretty cold this year, so I guess it is payback time.
