Palm Springs is too hot for people outside now. I mean a quick dip into the pool or walking about a block is fine, but then it begins to overwhelm you. I have drank more water in the last week than ever before!
But I am not complaining. First is "super humid" here right now at 22%, which is nothing, I know. Second we have really divided air-conditioning zones, so we don't have to cool the entire house. And third, we have solar panels, so our electricity bill is not crazy.
But wow, it is hot. I feel bad for poorer people who can't afford to run their AC enough or whose AC can't cope with this level of heat. The homeless are even worse off. However, I will say that the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs down to Indio) has a lot of shelters with AC or misters during the day where people can cool down.
Having said that, it is fuck all hot.
However, next week, the lows are expected to be only in the high 70s (it's been 90+ at night for weeks). And the humidity will drop, so it will get better.
I have a funny story (ish). My jacuzzi / pool is almost too hot to enjoy. It is around 100 degrees, without any heating at all. That is what happens when it is over 115 for 10 days and only down to the high 90s at night.
