It was hot as f in the bay yesterday. 103F and it felt terrible. Not a full dry heat at around 30-50% humidity since we've got this big ass ocean bay over here, but it's not like it's east coast humid where ur walking in molasses.
I hate the heat. Thank God it was only one extreme day for us bay folk. I feel bad for the people inland. They get 100's on the regular in the summer.

that temperatures are not civil
Welcome to how most of the rest of the world lives in the summer. California's year round amazing temperatures most of the time make me so jealous.
SoCal Gaf here - I just spent the weekend installing heat-control window film on all my windows that get direct sunlight, on both sides of my house. This stuff blocks 70% of the sun's heat - (you can see outside just fine, but from outside the windows do look like mirrors.) At any rate, it's made a huge difference already, and will mean less work for the central AC. Something for people to consider, anyway, to help deal with that heat.
I guess missionary can completely be ruled out, right?
Or is that part of your sexy summer game...being glued together by sweat.
The problem is that because of the nice weather, many homes don't have air conditioning.
Still nice in SF.

I stepped out of the my house yesterday at 7pm and it was still 100 degrees
Fuck this weather. My AC is on full blast and Im paying dearly for it but when the thermostat reads over 90 you have to

I moved this past weekend. It was only in the high 80s, but it was also 90%+ humidity and storming every hour or two. Not fun climbing in and out of a U-Haul with furniture.

In Sacramento here, the highs I can live with, it's the overnight "lows" that stay in the upper 70s that I hate. Can't even go outside for a nice breeze, it's stifling.

Can confirm, it's hot. Kind of figure the state's fire departments are sweating bullets right now. Lots of bone dry vegetation after getting a normal amount of rain for the first time in five or six years.
75 is great don't get me wrong, but when I'm at the beach I do actually like a little sunshine and some heat. Mid 80's is great for the beach.

Escaped the heat of my hometown by going North for a while, but when I called home for Fathers Day, Dad says they basically won't leave the kiddy pool they bought and placed in the shade.
A friend of ours also installed tinted windows on the entire side of the house that gets sun and says it helps a great deal.
You don't think it's dangerous until it's too late. I went out for a bike ride years back and suddenly woke up on the side of the road. Don't know how long I was laying there in the sun after fainting.

Every summer here you see on the news of a handful of people dying due to the heat. Especially the elderly, who may just be outside watering their plants or something.

Felt like death yesterday in San Jose. I really hope the rest of summer isn't like this.

The lack of air conditioning is what kills me. My workplace doesn't have working AC now, either!

Really bad in San Mateo over the weekend. No air conditioning, but two tower fans helped keep it at bay.

Don't forget all the people that try to go hiking in this heat thinking they'll be fine.

Escondido is hot as fuck. I basically sit in front of my AC unit I bought last summer. Does it cool the whole house? No... Not even close, but it's better then nothing. First time I put my girl to sleep in just a diaper, seemed to hot to throw on anything else
The coast is pretty fantastic and I'm looking forward to the high 80s and low 90s. Going 30 miles inland is another story, you're at 100+ over there.

The biggest concern for California as always in these heatwaves is forest fires. I fear that we're going to be following in Portugal's footsteps as the average temps continue to rise.
