Well, CakePoet, it may not make you feel any better, but the whole of California and a lot of the Northwest is on fire here as well. The smoke is now overhanging our area. Looks like smog.
It's hot and worse to come in the next three days.
Caseydog, I know it doesn't look hot when you look at our temps, but you have to remember, I'm on the third floor of a brick building in a west facing room. When it gets hot outside, it gets very hot in here. Think pizza oven. And the heat doesn't go down at night when it cools off outside. Here, the heat keeps rising through the building until about 2am and then it finally starts to cool off.
And it still wouldn't be that hot except that I'm a cold person. I can go out in 40 degree weather and walk around in short sleeves and be perfectly comfortable. But if it gets up past 70, I'm already sweating and way too warm.
Think of the temp you're comfortable at and add 25 degrees. That's what I'm like when it gets to 90. And that's what it'll be here in the next few days.
