High 80s and beautiful.

Expecting it to be over 90 tomorrow, but no significant humidity.

And most importantly, considering the past few years, no fires in our area and no smoke so far. Last year, in particular was HIDEOUS for smoke.

We had perfect conditions for tornadoes and a “derecho” wind event. Also severe storms last night after a couple days of severe heat (heat index over 100), that caused power station fires in Madison.

We’ve been told that the damage is so severe that they will have to rebuild our power structures before we will have electricity again. Several days at least.
Anyone else enjoying the severe weather as we are? Ugh!

I think that wind comes from all that rain falling and evaporating before it hits the ground. Virga? Maybe it took a while for the ground to cool off. Hopefully, there's enough moisture in the ground that it will do it again tomorrow and we'll have another cool-ish night.

Except for the housing expense, but that is life, people don't buy houses in undesirable places to live.

The Bay Area, the food, the climate, the laid back but driven culture, the cultural and racial diversity. It is not perfect but it is closer than anywhere else in this country.

I just have to go 8 miles from my home to experience desert conditions, where it is superhot. The Bay Area is funny: it has at least 20+ microclimates and you can go from our place where it's 65 degrees and be in a place where it's 85 degress in a few miles.

Here's an old article that expresses it better than I can: [link:https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Weather-as-varied-as-the-people-Land-and-fog-2900468.php|]

It was better today, 98 with a heat index of 109. It was supposed to be better tomorrow but they have put that off another day grrrrrrr. We hit 114 index earlier this week. I was out at 7AM and wondered why it felt so sweaty. It was 80 something with a 91% humidity. It has been fun all over I see. Working outside in this is not a lot of fun but I am used to it. I hope it does break after tomorrow, I need time to do some heavy work.
