No heat wave in SoCal yet. Let me know when the grid breezes through all of LA and OC having a heatwave.

It was 121º in Palm Springs and 100º in Riverside last Monday. I don't know what the population-weighted temperature was that day but that's pretty hot?

  Meanwhile the San Diego heatwave is a scorching two degrees above average at 78 degrees[1]. Now if the Santa Anas start blowing during one of these inland heatwaves and the grid still holds up that will be great. [1] If this sounds like sarcasm, try living in coastal San Diego for a few years. You really acclimate to the perfect weather and 78 really does feel awfully hot. To say nothing of those freezes where it dips into the 60s. I’ve seen bar patios turn the heaters on then.

    It is essentially everything but costal San Diego that has been melting. Even 20 miles difference from the coast shows a huge spike in temperatures.

Socal and the general southwest has been setting records[1]. Some highlights: > Palmdale and Lancaster on Tuesday experienced a record sixth straight day of temperatures at or above 110 degrees, surpassing the prior record of three days for both Antelope Valley cities. But wait, there’s more — officials say the streak is expected to continue the rest of the week, with highs forecast over 110 until Friday. > Las Vegas on Sunday smashed its record high temperature by three degrees, hitting 120 for the first time since record-keeping began in 1937. > Las Vegas is also expected to break its all-time record for consecutive days at or above 110 degrees, on its way there with six days in a row Tuesday. It’s forecast to remain just as hot through next week, which would beat the prior 10-day streak. > Palm Springs on Friday hit 124 degrees, its highest temperature in recorded history.

  Ouch :( 125°F is well above the pain threshold.
