Man It's HOT Today

[waterdoctor]

Here in the Imperial Valley of California (El Centro area) it was 72 F at 0530 this morning. It's supposed to get up to about 104 F today :swear: !!!!  Yesterday it hit 102. We're supposed to stay up in the 100's for the next few days then cool back down to the upper 80's to mid 90's by the first of next week. :sombraro:  Since we're at about 150 ft below sea level, summer comes on pretty quick, and this is just a little taste of what we have to look forward to until about mid October when the heat finally breaks and we see temps below 100.  Needless to say, our blood gets pretty thin working in the desert heat all day :Z where the average daytime temp is around 112 F.
 
BTW Cajun - I think those winds your guys were experiencing were the notorious Santa Ana winds. SoCal gets them every year about this time and they develop from a high pressure system that tends to park itself over Nevada.  SoCal gets hit with hot, dry, high velocity winds (gusts over 60 mph is common).  It gets real nasty on I-10 east of LA, all the way through Palm Springs. Not much fun pulling a trailer, for sure (as I'm sure Wavery and several others can attest)

Today in WV.....high of 38 degrees with off and on snow showers all day.  But by Friday and thru the weekend highs in the 70's :-()   Maybe I will finally be able to unwinterize!

Finally going to hit the 80s tomorrow.  We've been cold and rainy for two weeks...supposed to be nice this weekend.

Today it was in the mid 80's, by this week-end it supposed to get into the mid 70's. I'm not ready to turn the AC on yet.

The heat is one of the many reasons we left So. Cal. 20 years ago! The PNW does get a little cold in the winter, especially here on the dryside, but we have yet to break 80 degrees. Our recent hot spell was 77 degrees for two days! Now we're back to the 50's. We are planning to take the PU out again this weekend. Glad we have a heater. bikerHen
