OT: It's Still Summer in SoCal (Climate Change)

[ptourkin]

Even though we have less daylight, we still have summer temps:

What's needed to avoid distinction of "hottest October ever" in #SanDiego is an avg daily temp of 68.6F each day next 17 days - not possible

I love hot weather, but I must admit I'm getting a little tired of it being 90 plus *every day*. The heat and drought is freaky. Our AC's set to kick on at 77, and all summer it's been starting up around 7 AM. I hope we get some rain this winter. At least it's a bit cloudy today.

AZ too. Blech.

I was just in Tucson last weekend, and it was 10 degrees cooler than LA. (Hotter in Phoenix though.) It's disturbing when you beat the heat by going to Arizona.

Texas also. We've had consistent 90s for highs with a couple of exceptions over the last several weeks. However, the mornings have been nice. I was joking with another cyclist on a ride yesterday that we're getting both Fall AND Summer weather each day.

Oh, and if you guys have any extra rain laying around, please send it our way...

It's getting cooler. It's supposed to be mid to high 40s this weekend. It's time to pull out the cold-weather gear.

I actually saw someone in knee warmers last week. Musta been wishful thinking. At 4:30 AM I'm unzipping my summer jersey after the first mile.

My daughter is a freshman @ USC (hence the avatar) and downtown LA has been brutally hot. To add insult to injury she has a southerly-facing upper floor dorm room with no a/c....her room is regularly in the mid-90s and portable a/c units are forbidden since they keep blowing out building fuses.

It makes me feel somewhat crazy. Every evening around 9 p.m. I open my back door hoping for a cool breeze to find it's still warmer outside then inside, and I set my ac at 82!

[joe.e]

riding to work in the dark with your jersey open is the new normal, I'm afraid.

@dgauthier: I have my air set to 78 and it makes me sad when I get up at 6am and its already on. r.i.p earth.

Careful what we wish for. This could likely be the norm in the coming months in California. http://www.sfgate.com/news/us/articl...in-6573716.php

Climate Confusion, aka "weather", is living up to its name-frost warnings here this weekend and snow in northern Michigan, just like there was in 1987 on Labor Day when I was last in the UP. The prediction is for a warmer winter than last year, which is shocking because I thought every season was supposed to be exactly the same...science and all.

This past weekend was the worst, even the beach was a blistering hot to ride.

You don't seem to understand that meteorology (predicting local, short-term weather) and climate science (predicting global, long-term weather) are two completely different things.

Every year people in SoCal forget that October is usually a hot month until near the end, somehow coincidentally on Halloween.
