They forecast temperatures up to 109F this week. Feel sorry for the people without AC.

Forecast for tomorrow in the northern Central Valley in CA is 117...

It was 108 in my back yard yesterday. I've got used to it. Couldn't take the humidity though if it was humid with it.
Spent 12 days in Florida last month. Was I glad to leave

I am assuming most people their have AC at home?

We have had rain for the last couple of weeks, well yesterday was an exception, went to walk the pup and there was moisture in the air so came back for a jacket.

I think it has been 40 something days since the last rain here in the PNW

Probably because it is all in CO.

Shouldn't we get if first being closer to the Ocean and further north? Not fair.

Ask New Mexico, that is where it is coming from.

mrken30

I blame the New Mexicans then.

Every home where I was in Florida had AC. All you hear in the evening when walking in the street (I was the only one) is the buzz of AC compressors mixed with the whine of mosquitos. The humidity is always there even at night though.

We won't be getting to 109F in Vancouver, BC but with getting into the low 90's possible, it's pretty hot for this region, most homes/apartments don't have a/c nor does transit buses, so it gonna suck.

And working outside will doubly suck...

Luckily we have a portable a/c unit that can keep the micro apartment somewhat reasonable.

I would estimate , maybe 30% of homes have AC here. We got a heat pump fitted a few years back that heats and cools. A lot of people have the window units.

I would estimate approx 0% of homes where I am have it.

Just curious, do many have heat pumps?
