Sticky weather ahead for the IE (Orange, Temecula: how much, houses, live)

[Fontucky]

.. High pressure will bring hot weather to inland areas later this week...

High pressure over the interior southwest states will strengthen
and expand westward this week bringing a warming trend. Hottest
weather for inland areas is expected for Thursday through Saturday
with minor cooling for Sunday. A return of monsoonal moisture will
bring an increase in humidities as well... especially for Lower
Desert areas.

Expected highest daytime apparent temperatures (heat index values) during
this period...

Inland Orange County... ... ... 85 to 95.
Coastal valleys... ... ... ... ..80 to 90.
Inland valleys... ... ... ... ... 90 to 100.
Mountains below 6000 feet... .85 to 95.
Mountains above 6000 feet... .75 to 85.
Upper deserts... ... ... ... ... .95 to 105.
Lower deserts... ... ... ... ... 110 to 115.

The combination of heat and humidity will push conditions to just
below excessive heat warning criteria in the lower deserts with
highest daytime apparent temperatures (heat index values) of 110
to 115 and lowest nighttime values of 85 to 90.

I didn't write that, some weatherman did.

Well this sounds like our weather most of the time in the summer (no, not 95 plus) but 90 plus and humid..Please don't send your latest weather any further east!!!!!

We dodged Summertime monsoonal flow the past two Summers. I guess this is the price we pay for the cool non-Summer we've enjoyed up till now. Nature always exacts a price. Ain't no free lunch.

This summer has been amazing. Cool and breezy. Apparently it is about to change. I gotta tell you how blessed we are. I've spent summers in Arkansas where it was 90 degrees, plus, stifling humidity (I hope that's how you spell stifling - please, show me grace). I went to Palomar Mountain today and was just blown away at the beauty and mild weather.

We had 115 today in La Quinta, no humidity. (None that I could feel, anyway)

A/C can add up to $100 a month onto my normal bill of between 80 to 100 a month, depending on temps. This house is well-insulated and shaded by mature trees, and even on the hottest days I don't switch the A/C on until 2 or 3pm. In less severe heat of ~100°, I can wait until 5 or 6pm.

That all changes when the humid monsoonal flow comes up from the South. I can't stand sticky humidity, so the air con gets used a lot then. Thankfully, that type of weather is very rare.

Hang in there Twinkle Toes - that sounds brutal.

I'm hangin'! 115 is nothing. I'm used to this kind of heat. We had a few days a couple of summers ago where it was over 120.

98 here in Temecula, Just ran out to the store and had the windows down in the car, I think I was the only one. Not used to this heat yet but I'm getting there, lived at the beach for the last 5 years.

Haven't had the AC on yet in the house, We haven't really neded it yet. Yesterday it got up to 77 inside. Not bad.
