Yikes! 105, here, is no big deal (as it's dry so getting out of the
direct sun gives immediate relief).

I dread thinking about what it would be like north and east in
such temperatures! <frown>

But, you can count the days to WINTER if that's any consolation... <grin>

We rarely see a (daytime as) low as 70 in *winter*! Yet, I see people wearing gloves and coats! <rolls eyes> Even 80 or 90 feels "a bit cool" when the
sun is down and the air is dry.

Once the sun goes into hiding, you can do damn near anything outdoors
(though washing the car is difficult as the low RH causes it to dry as soon
as you turn the hose off -- spotting windows). This evidenced by the number
of people out-and-about with their dogs, visiting neighbors, etc.

OTOH, you can't walk barefoot after about March as the temperature
of the asphalt and concrete easily exceeds 140-160F. Nobody sane has
grass for a lawn! (Homeless people are often admitted to hospital with
second degree burns from lying on these surfaces)

We're having a terrible heat wave too. It's 66F at 2PM.

I just ran up to Safeway, and survived it in just jeans and a tee
shirt. The parking lot of the Diamond Heights Safeway is certified as
the coldest place on Earth.

The good weather will probably continue until the NWS fixes their
forecast server at:
<https://forecast.weather.gov>
which as been down since 6am Sunday. <https://downdetector.com/status/national-weather-service/> <https://www.facebook.com/NWS/posts/nws-is-aware-that-forecastweathergov-is-still-down-we-have-restored-weathergov-t/1475735844591790/>
I find it difficult to make it through the day without knowing in
advance what tomorrow will bring. Incidentally, the site currently
returns "Sorry, an unexpected error occurred", which is somehow better
than not apologizing for an error they were expecting.

<https://weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Humidity-perc,vancouver,Canada>

"Throughout the year, the average humidity in Vancouver is 70%."

Makes you feel colder in the winter and hotter in the summer.

By contrast, we're at 38% with daily lows in the 10% range.
In summer, the THI is often LOWER than the air temperature!

[I hauled 20T of soil in to the back yard on a day when the air
temperature was 115F. I drank GALLONS of water. (you need about
a pint every 20 minutes to balance what you lose through perspiration).
Yet, never broke into a sweat (OR PISSED!) You don't get that
"sticky" feeling that is common, elsewhere, so you don't feel as hot/uncomfortable. When you get out of a (outdoor) swimming pool,
"steam" rises from your body and you feel *cold* from the evaporation.
Potato chips and popcorn stay crisp overnight, uncovered. Ice tea
doesn't "sweat". You never have to dry your hair after a shower,
etc.]

It was such a long time ago; I had to make a presentation to some
gummit folks.

I remember
- "weird colored money",
- getting lectured by a cab driver that "most americans know nothing
about Canada -- and, to his chagrin, naming the 10 provinces and 2
territories (at that time); "So, can you name 12 US states?" (50
would be unfair; knowing about commonwealths or territories would
likely strain most "americans")
- being told I *had* to wear a seatbelt (and protesting that loudly as
my host's "imposition" seemed overly paternalistic; I failed to recollect
that I was no longer *in* the US!)
- and the fact that everything felt "damp", including the fresh towels at
the hotel.

I can almost resolve Mount San Bruno this morning through the fog.

It's 55F already, going to be a scorcher.

Bizarre. If they are wearing a parka, you can't see enough to work out
if they are hot. Half-wearing a parka does allow a certain amount of exhibitism, but it's a bulky item to schlep around if you don't need the insulation. Are we talking about hot babes who rent by the hour?
