I live in the central valley of Cali. It's usually in the 100's this time of year. It's only been in the 90's this year. Prolly the coolest summer I've experienced in the 7 years that I've lived here.

[diggiejohns]

Does hot weather present itself in a “path” ? The current weather is no more extreme than in the seventies.

Listen, folks. It is not only the heat; it is the lack of rain, I have never in my 68 years seen the grass so deead in mid-July.

Regardless of your political affiliation, pleas pray for rain. My livelihood depends on it.
