109 here in Sacramento too.

But really, my main reaction is thinking I must be going soft after 7 years in NorCal. In Dubai, where I grew up, it would be 115 degrees and 85% humidity at this time of year, so I'm surprised that I'm finding this weather overly hot. As recently as 2012, I played pickup soccer in 106 degrees and 90% humidity once, while interning in Washington, DC. (That was the hottest day in DC's recorded history.)

If you are getting soft then I have always been soft. I couldn't do any of those things. I grew up in San Diego and LA. Two place that may get hot but no humidity! I admire your stamina :)

I do not miss that kind of weather at all! It's supposed to be 121º in Phoenix tomorrow, as opposed to 72º here in Grand Rapids.

I have friends who are coming here from Phoenix this week and for them, this is better! Yikes! Grand Rapids does sound nicer :)

You, too, huh? Not a fun time in C

[gaeln]

No. No it's not. And it's not getting any better for at least a few more days, is it? Better on Monday!!

[spikesgirl58]

I'm looking forward to it only being 90 on Monday. We'll have to break out the jackets.

It got up to 90 here, which is unbelievably hot for a delicate flower like me, but I'm (knock wood) actually kind of starting to adapt to summers a little bit. It's all about planning. Planning and ice cream. My partner and I are pretty much keeping the Emeryville branch of Mr. Dewie's Cashew Creamery in business right now.

Mainly ice cream, I agree. Sounds like you and your partner are doing it right :)

I just converted to Celsius, and ugh, that's hot! It does get that hot here too, but hasn't so far. Today it was about 33°C.

I just converted fahrenheit to celsius and that's quite hot enough. Hope it doesn't get too much hotter there :) Here, it's remained, daytime-wise, around 103 fahrenheit or 34.9999 celsius.
