Heat Wave here in Southern California [View all]

Here in SoCal, the South San Diego area (includes National City, Bonita, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, Otay Mesa, etc.), experienced a massive heat wave this weekend.

I'm glad I work early morning until around noon. By 10:00am we were 'baking', and when the back door of the restaurant opened for a few minutes, there was a huge inflow of 'hot air' from the outside.

Earlier today (Sunday Sep 8, 2024) at around 1:00pm PDT the temp here hit 101, with a RealFeel of 108 (according to AccuWeather).

That's today. The temps have been in the 90s, high 90s Friday and Saturday. On Wednesday and Thursday, the temps were in the upper 80s. They reached over 100 today. That's on the coast, where I'm at. Further inland, around El Cajon and Santee and such, it is easily 10 to 15 degrees hotter on a regular basis. I.E. if the coast has a high of 85, then inland it will be 95 to 100 at the same time.

Tomorrow, Monday, Sep 9, 2024, it is forecast to be about 89 degrees, and 87 on Tuesday, in my area.

The temp won't get down to a "reasonable" 75 degrees for me until the end of the week.

So, temps reaching 100 degrees, in September.

I remember about 6 years ago, it reached 100 in my area in mid-October.

But hey, I guess 'climate change' is a hoax right? I mean, I must not be really feeling this heat, and that sweat dripping off me is imaginary.

EDIT: For those not in the US, all temps shown are in degrees Fahrenheit. 100 degrees Fahrenheit = 37.778 Celsius. https://www.metric-conversions.org/temperature/fahrenheit-to-celsius.htm

Also, all times are PDT. PDT = Pacific Daylight Time (which is the current time standard in California)

EDIT 2: It is currently 7:00pm PDT here in my area, and the temp is still around 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Guess I'll be waiting at least until 8:00pm or even 9:00pm for the temp to drop another 5 to 10 degrees. The sun is setting which is helping greatly.
