I was at my 6 year old's baseball game this morning. At 8:30 a.m. I was sweating. And this is 1/2 a mile away from the ocean.
My house is maybe 2.5 miles away from the beach as the crow flies (and not in the hills or a canyon but in wetlands). It is 11:10 a.m. and my thermometer says 96%. It must be crazy in the Valley, foothills, or Inland Empire right now. My kids have been in the pool since about 9:30 a.m. I'm about to jump in. Today, 2 or 3 weeks later, is hot.
Tip for cooling down? Drink a cold one.
