We're Having a Heatwave...
...A Tropical Heatwave...
Oh. My. God. I thought I was going to die over the last few days--temperatures have been in the 100's and we Northern Californians are just not cut out for that Southern California weather. They shut down the chilled water to our A/C at work and it was 85 in the building when I walked in Monday morning.
I think the biggest problem was that there was no wind at all. It was just hot and still. Nasty stuff. I would open windows at night but there was no air movement--even with fans running all over the house, the second you were away from the fan you melted. Seriously, my poor sister is just a pool in the front entry way. I thought about sopping her up with a towel, but it was too hot.
Thankfully, a marine layer came in (i.e. fog) and it dropped about 20 degrees today--they even allowed our building access to the chilled water so by the end of the day, the temperature in the building was tolerable. Oh, lucky us.
However, another heat wave is expected next week.

That's so weird---when you mentioned a "marine layer," my first thought was not of fog. Not at all. In fact, my first thought got me all hot. Or maybe that's just because it's very warm in my house, too.
I hope you're not suffering too much in the heat, my friend. You take care.
