and here we go again.... hopefully one last gasp but given what's happened so far in 2020 I'm not holding my breath.
After a brief spell of cooler temps Saturday through Monday, ridging will build back in with a vengeance. Expect very warm to hot temps favored from mid week on.

Makes sense, considering fall has been in the air for 3 weeks now.
SDG&E sends me a notice my electrical use is up 50% this month and what am I doing? Dumb fucks, it is hot and I run the AC from 10am to 8pm.
Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.
Huh and just like that, it is pleasant again????

If we hit 90* tomorrow, which we are forecasted to do, every single day for the month of August will have been 90+. First time that has EVER happened since they started keeping records here in the Q.
Hot diggity dog!
A dangerous heat wave is expected to hit the West Coast over Labor Day weekend
(CNN)A dangerous heat wave is expected to hit the West Coast over the holiday weekend.
Fourty-three million people across much of California, southern Nevada and western Arizona are already under an excessive heat watch, and that number is expected to rise.
Forecasters warn that this heat wave has the potential to break all-time high temperature records for the region.
National Weather Service Los Angeles suggested that "all daytime outdoor activities should be limited or canceled."
Excessive heat watches are expected to start on Friday for valleys and mountains and Saturday for coastal areas.
Sunday is expected to be the hottest day, with temperatures as high as 115 degrees are expected away from beaches, according to the National Weather Service.
Close to 100 record high minimum temperatures are expected to be broken during the same time frame.
Overnight lows are expected to be warm in the 70s and 80s, which will allow for little relief for the region. Warm overnight temperatures impact people the most during heat waves as the warm weather does not allow buildings and people to cool down overnight.
This weekend is expected to be worse than the region's recent August heat wave, which prompted rolling blackouts in the area.
The National Weather Service warned that "extreme stress on our power infrastructure may lead to power outages." There is also a high risk of heat-related illnesses.

Check out the beaches when you do.
Parksville area has unreal beaches that stretch out flat for hundreds of feet and the water is warm in late summer. It's like Canada's only real "beachy" beach. Rest of the coasts are rugged or arctic.
Tofino of course has the giant jungle beach thing on lock but it's cold and raw. Fkn cool and real surf, but the bikini crew is on the east side.
I sure would like to stay at the Wickaninnish Inn for a few weeks and surf up there. Last time we were there the waves were breaking way out there and the waiter thought they had 20 foot faces on them, which is entirely to big for me, but I have seen good surf there in the summer. For summer, Vancouver Island is it.

I lived in Sooke for 1 summer and north end of the Island at Holberg for 1 summer. The whole island is awesome from top to bottom. Parents live in Courtenay. Not sure I could handle Victoria as the traffic is horrific due to continued growth in housing but no growth in transportation. You're also captive to BC Ferries. Squamish would be my sweet spot.
Goddam it's gonna be hot this weekend.
Guess should probably head to where it's nice and cool...

Nice to sit out side and drink my coffee this morning. Once it warms up, close up the house and turn on the AC. Have a great weekend guys and gals. We will have the margaritas flowing for the thirsty later today.

It was 40 deg F at my place in North Idaho around 2200ft. I'm not completely pissed as my furnace went out last week and I've been chopping wood like a mo-fo to keep the place warm. House was 72 last night...
