   My #SoCal hometown is having another day that exceeds 100F / 38C outside. Inside temperature is 96F / 36C.
   
   Slightly hotter than some parts of Sacramento #CA, but lower than Phoenix #AZ. Some clouds rolling in, so maybe we’ll have some overcast ... or maybe even a little rain.
   
   We have not yet had the traditional August rainstorm. (Cools things off that day, but then the next day or two return to full heat, only now they have humidity that feels akin to parts of #LA or #MS.)

     @geniusmusing I don’t know where they’re hitting 115F, but they really should be allocating the the power cuts to some of the industrial users that use most of the state’s power to begin with. If some places really did hit 115F, they’re risking people’s lives by cutting cooling in residential areas. Not only do they not have air conditioning, but they’re without refrigeration, so “grabbing a cool one” soon makes everything in the fridge get hot and start spoiling. (But at least they likely also lost Internet connectivity, so their bosses can’t see the result.)
     
     My house’s internal temperature is still below 100F / 38C, I imagine there might be some apartment buildings in high-crime areas that don’t even have openable windows.
     
     I remember seeing a special on The Weather Channel about the famous Chicago heat wave.
