I agree with you. I've lived in the Bay Area over 20 years now. Heat waves are nothing special, it happens every year. OP is completely overexaggerating. Overall, from Peninsula to SF, you can survive most days without AC, except for about one week a year where it sucks. This year sucks worse because everyone is stuck at home, instead of an air conditioned office, if you're lucky to work. It used to be the case that you would just stay at work late until it cooled off but that didn't happen this year. Yes, it got hot on Friday and Saturday but those were the first two very hot days all year. This year has been overall pretty average, if not a bit cooler than average years.
