EXTREME Heat across SoCal - Old Records CRUSHED before noon! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 455296 ![]() 06/21/2008 02:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sounds like you could be in for several of these heat waves this Summer, OP. Take care of those beans and stay cool! ................ "Forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md., said the odds favor a warmer-than-normal summer throughout almost all of California and the Southwest. The forecast is based on a 10-year trend of rising summer temperatures in the region, said meteorologist Mike Halpert. Only a thin strip along the coast is expected to have a good shot at normal or below-normal temperatures in July, August and September, according to the center. However, Bill Patzert, a research oceanographer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, sees a cooler summer but one peppered with longer and more frequent heat waves. Patzert expects a repeat of the pattern seen in April, May and so far in June. Temperatures have seesawed between below normal most of the time to record highs during repeated heat waves. Warmer weather, whether in spurts or all season long, could pose challenges to the elderly without air conditioning as well as local firefighters. “That's not a good prediction for us at all,” said Cal Fire Division Chief Pete Scully. “It's scary.”" [link to www.signonsandiego.com] |

Hillcrest User ID: 392015 ![]() 06/21/2008 04:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fuck me. We had heat once like this, during the brutal heat wave of July '06 that buckled asphalt in the back country. Quoting: AC156099 156099I remember that one. How could I forget? My AC broke down and maintenance couldn't come to fix it for 2 days. Just north of Calabasas on the coast, and its about 106 degrees out side just now, at 1:00 p.m. This AC goes out again, and I'm going to be in tears. Water always wins. :sun: |

You just need to visit OWSweather.com more often and you would have known. We had power demand, public advisories out well ahead of anyone for it. We were prepared for that heatwave. Next one is around Independence Day. |
