WOW! I stay in the cool house when it gets to 80 degrees and higher here in Fairbanks, Alaska...THAT is too hot for me! My perfect temperature to ride and work outside is about 65 degrees!
I guess it is all in what you get used to.....But strangely, we have been having an unusually COOL summer! The winter was extra cold and the frost went very deep, so everything is late: Gardens, hayfields, even the Fireweed is blooming about a month late. They say Global warming is affecting the Arctic more than anywhere else ( Fairbanks , in Interior Alaska, is "Sub Arctic") but we are having trouble believing it is happening here this summer!
At least we aren't having the wildfires we had in 2004..That summer would have been record heat, in the 90's many days, if the smoke hadn't gotten so thick it blocked the sun's heat! I guess I'll take the cooler summer in preference to THAT!
Jean in sunny Fairbanks, Alaska, 80 degrees
We're having an unusually long and humid heat wave in Jamul (25 miles east and 1,000 ft higher in eleavation from San Diego airport). My outside air temperature (sending unit located under a tree in the shade) is 103 and climbing as I write. Usually in the summer I ride at first light and it's about 65, but this morning it was already 80 degrees and sauna like.
