These are the last photos from a couple days ago outside of the city. I mentioned in a couple comments this morning that when the temperature is as high as it’s been lately, I can actually feel a slight sting on my skin when the wind blows hard enough. Crazy, right? It’s not the first time I’ve experienced this. Today will bring 111F again, wow! 🔥
Beautiful landscapes, John!

The temp will change as you move around the valley. Still 111 at my place, too damn hot…

Not to be taken lightly! People are working outside of course, but I hope they take frequent breaks and drink about five gallons of water an hour! Too dangerous for me because of health issues too…

Oh, I wanted to add that the trade-off for the extreme heat is that desert winters are unmatched for their clear, cool, dry conditions.

The winters are OK but some winters it just rains too much. Not my favorite time of year here.

Up to 120°F in the lower desert (with low humidity — 13-16% — which helps a little). On the coast, we expect 80’s, but with 80% humidity. That’s treacherous because your body’s natural cooling system cannot work properly when the air is so muggy.

No happy medium, right? My home state is very muggy in summer, I don’t miss that!
