Re: going from cold climate to hot climate
Totally agree with you Giantaxe. We live in the Tri-Valley area and it does get bleedin' hot, but as others have said it is thankfully a dry heat. Fortunately we have AC in the house when the need arises. I usually find 78 or above (indoors, I hasten to add) is too warm for me and then we switch on the AC. Hasn't happened yet this year, but this past week we got close to it.
On another note, it seems there are a few of us Devonians floating around on this site - and a few in the Bay Area too. I was back there on holiday for Easter and it was grand to see the old place again. Managed to get a couple of trips in to the beach (Bigbury and Torquay). But I didn't get to make my annual pilgrimage to Cap'n Jaspers this year - I'll have to make up for it next year!

You really need to live around the Bay itself or preferably in SF if you want cool weather. On hot summer days there can be a 30 degree difference in temperature between SF and Contra Costa county - a distance of about 25 miles.
Sacto, imo, is brutal in the summer and has few redeeming features except for a cool railroad museum
