The Heat

[S54MCoupe]

Is it just me, or is it a little hot outside this last week?

Yesterday my gf's car said the outside temp was 104 degrees, in Pasadena and in a parking garage it still read 103 (in the shade). Today it feels like I'm taking a shower sitting on the couch I'm sweating that much. When she dropped me off at my place it was 95 degrees and thats with only about 4 miles distance difference.

I wonder how hot it is? I would go out and skate for a while but I think my wheels would melt!!!

It's way to hot in Anaheim.

Crazy. I hope it cools off soon.

El Toro and the 5fwy was 112 about 30 minutes ago.

San Onofre Trail 3 was about 75 this morning. Water temp was about 67. It was NICE!!!! 3-4ft surf with occasional 5's. "Swell" out of the WSW.

It's southern CA in August, what do you expect??

Just Google weather history, you will see it's like this all the time.

Not quite like this, though. This is a bit out of hand, or at least it seems.

The state had been sizzling in triple-digit temperatures since July 16. Several cities set records for extended heat waves, including Fresno, with six consecutive 110-plus-degree days, and Sacramento, with 11 consecutive triple-digit days

"You have to go back quite a ways before you see this kind of heat over this widespread an area lasting this long," said David Reynolds, the weather service's chief meteorologist in Monterey. "This kind of heat wave is relatively rare and may only occur every 20 to 25 years."

I just came back from 2days away and its 91 in my apartment - in the 5yrs I've lived here I've never seen it over 84 in here - ouch!

[Break n Bones]

You poor guys
It was 100deg about 5 mins ago now thunder / lighting rain in a matter of minutes.... love monsoons

Constant triple-digits in Calabasas, but 4 years in Arizona prepared me, it's still hot as hell though.

Thank god for beachfront rental homes.

It seems to be right on par from what I remember growing up. My family moved to SoCal when I was 5 (I'm 32 now) and I can remember when it was over 100 outside for days at a time and it was too hot to play outside.

Last summer --June through August-- I only rode 37 times (I ride wth a GPS so every ride is recorded) because it was just too hot to ride, and I have a pretty high tolerance for the heat. In June through August this year I was able to ride 54 times.

So, long story short, I don't really think this summer is any worse than previous years. Of course, that's just one jerk's opinion

I think Phoenix is working on 33 days straight of 110+ degree days, breaking the old record of 28. Was there two weeks ago for business, walked out of Gordon Biersch in Tempe at 830 pm after chowing down and rental car said a balmy 105. At least it broke 100 that night, but was 97 at 8 am. Of course as they say, it's a "dry" heat.

it got to 107 at my house today.

Arrrgghh....kicking myself for not hitting it early. Sounds like a good morning. Meanwhile, it was about 150 degrees in my mom's yard where I was doing some long-delayed 'honey-do's' for her.

I had to miss the Tijeras Creek/Arroyo Trabuco loop part deux, but KeepsWhatHappens got to ride it...

I started checking the temps in RSM this morning (live updates from wunderground.com). Couldn't believe it - at 7:30 it was 91 degrees and now at 9:00 it's 100 degrees!

I hope they brought a lot of water...

[foofighter]

OMG that's crazy hot...

I have never seen it this hot in Aliso. This is not normal. But its ok, I'll take our weather over anyone's in the world. We can't really complain too much, if its a little uncomfortable for a few days. Just got back from Texas, , we are doing ok.

[Pain Freak]
