EXTREME Heat across SoCal - Old Records CRUSHED before noon!
Where the hell was wx enthusiast Kevin Martin's warning for this heat wave?

After destroying local heat records across the county (San Diego County) yesterday, I've witnessed something today I can never recall in my four decades: a 40-degree temperature swing in just five hours between 6:00 and 11:00 this morning. At a quarter after six, it was barely pushing 65 degrees outside. And when I last checked our outside thermometer fifteen minutes ago, it was already north of 105.

Fuck me. We had heat once like this, during the brutal heat wave of July '06 that buckled asphalt in the back country. Now, with another 3-4 hours of heating before it even begins to cool down, it looks like this summer will be equally - if not more - brutal than we have ever experienced.

According to the NWS, we pushed past the old record for our area by 10 a.m. And according to the NWS, by 11:00 23 new records have already been set across SoCal.

BTW, in the time it has taken me to write this message, the temperature locally has risen to over 107... and its not even noon yet.

Somebody pass me the fucking smores...

PS - Yesterday's heat destroyed 3/4 of the pole beans we had planted. Lesson learned!

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.”"

Just baking it before shaking it. The wise humans will leave the oven before it is dumped into the Pacific.

The smog has to be blinding. Been there when it was in the 90's and teared up like a baby.

I 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.

I warned of this a week before it hit. 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.
