It is already in the low 80's. We normally don't get that hot. I feel sorry for the people participating in Relay for Life today. At least we won't be as hot as Death Valley, a nice and toasty 131* predicted today.

Death Valley gets some crazy extremes, I've camped there! I'll never forget seeing it snow on the rim area and then drop off into the valley floor only to have it be in the 100's!

Apparently instead of going to accuweather.com this morning, I went to inaccuweather.com. We briefly got into the low 90's before the not predicted thunder storm hit. A little rain went a long way toward cooling us off.

When I "camp" in Death Valley, I stay in the motel at Stove Pipe Wells. Next time I go I probably will take my golf clubs and play the course again. This time I will use lower compression golf balls.

It's too hot for me to go outside. I will melt. In the shade it's 97* at 3:23 p.m. in Trabuco Canyon of Orange County, in So Cal. When I lived in Acton, 97* was pretty warm, but not too bad. Here, 97* is frigg'n hot. The humidity of this area makes it much worse than the dry desert of Acton.

We had a nice thundershower about an hour ago and the cloud cover is still in place so we may get more rain yet. Yea!

As a result the temps are in the mid 70s but it's still pretty humid.

Did I say "How 'bout them Dawgs" yet?

It's not 97* it's 103*. I took the thermometer off of the widow suction cup mount and put it in the shade. I guess weather.com was right.

I was insane today. Went on a motorcycle ride with a buddy down through Julian and back up through Temecula. After 2 PM it was Basically riding in a oven. Had to be 103 or so and I was dehydrated despite drinking about 90 oz of water on the ride!

I just don't remember humidity when I lived in SoCal. On my patio, I do remember oiling up with Hawaiian Tropics suntan oil and having the hummingbirds hover over me .......... thinking "is she a flower or not?"

Barbara, it's all in what you're used to. Coming from the desert, I find it humid here but I am getting used to it, and feeling that it's dry when I go to the desert, or Kennedy Meadows.
