Heat on the edge of scorch again today in Califoria’s Central Valley with triple-digit temperatures accompanied by not a ziltch of wind — in my neck-of the Valley, it’s 100-degrees downtown, yet contrary to what I’d think, it’s two-degrees hotter here in the more-tree abundant suburbs, We;re usually hotter out here every day, baffler in air exchange.

According to NWS Hanford, we’re in an Excessive Heat Warning through tomorrow: ‘High temperatures of 104 to 109 degrees in the San Joaquin Valley and adjacent hills. Up to 113-degrees in the Kern County desert areas.‘

Shit! One-hundred-thirteen-degrees is hot as shit.

However, the vital point for my location is we have AC — not like those boiling people north of my hot-hole in the Pacific Northwest, where record temperatures are being set every few hours it seems, and it’s a place where AC is just not needed, until now.
A few points of the high-warmth via The New York Times this afternoon:

A heat dome has enveloped the Pacific Northwest, driving temperatures to extreme levels — with temperatures well above 100 degrees — and creating dangerous conditions in a part of the country unaccustomed to oppressive summer weather or air-conditioning.

At Portland International Airport in Oregon, it reached 112 degrees on Sunday. It was the highest temperature ever recorded there since historical records began in 1940, the National Weather Service said.
A high temperature of 108 degrees was recorded at the airport on Saturday, surpassing the previous record of 107 degrees set in July 1965 and twice in August 1981, the service said.

The average high temperature for this time of year at the airport is about 73 degrees, said forecasters, who predicted that it would be even more stifling on Monday.

In a thought of it — that’s about-near 40-degree difference in the airport-temp norm and the shit this weekend.
This heat wave is apparently another indication the future is here today. Global warming — it’s in the name.
An interesting look at the oncoming/here-now situation at The Seattle Times last Friday:

It’s a forecast so hot that it left some seasoned meteorologists initially in disbelief.

Weekend temperatures are expected to approach 100 degrees in Seattle, top 109 in Portland and reach 115 in Eastern Washington — threatening to topple historical records and upend people’s lives.

“Is this just the models being wonky, or is this a real deal?” said Joe Boomgard-Zagrodnik, a postdoctoral researcher in agricultural meteorology at Washington State University, describing his reaction to initial temperature readouts.
When he assessed the data himself, “it was jaw-dropping.”

Climate scientists and meteorologists say the forthcoming heat wave — which could persist into next week — is a manifestation of climate change and a concerning signal of what they expect more frequently in the Pacific Northwest, which is poorly adapted to extreme heat.

“This is pretty early in the season to be experiencing so many days where temperatures are record breaking. It’s worrisome. It’s just June,” said Deepti Singh, a climate scientist and associate professor at WSU Vancouver. “This should be a warning sign for us that we’re experiencing the impacts of climate change right now.”
…
High pressure systems suppress storms, offering clear skies with full sun, and they act as a cap and trap heat near the surface.
“Air is sinking and it’s warming as it sinks,” Boomgard-Zagrodnik said.

Here and up there this heat will continue maybe through the next week.  And it’s the future:

Humans feeling the impact of humans…
