    Ugh.
    That's pretty impressive. Even with central air my upstairs was over 80 degrees. I was able to keep the downstairs around 77.

    I'm sure our upstairs was over 90F, it was 80F on the first floor.
    I'd thought we could get by without AC; I prefer to draw little on the grid.
    This is changing my mind.

    By the way, the high yesterday in Newport, Oregon was 64. Obviously it's going to be cooler on the coast, but that's just an absurd temperature gradient.

    I was reading last night that a lot of the increase in average PNW temperature has been the nighttime low. It’s already 80+ where I am and never got below 70.

    Makes it hard to implement the natural cooling strategy if it never cools off enough.

    I’m hiding out at my parents with AC this weekend and hoping our place stayed relatively cool. Not looking forward to WFH on Monday.

    It was 64F this morning at 4:30, so I try to get as much of that air in the house as I can.

    In summer, I turn on our fans when the outside temperature is cooler than inside. This normally happens about 8-9 pm. An Arduino could set up the cues.

    It's 71f now at 8:10 am

    It's 65* right now, 66 in the house, I'll keep the windows/doors open until it starts getting warm then close everything up, it should stay below 78 inside.

    115df yesterday afternoon as I drove through Redding CA. Redding isn’t very nice when the weather’s good.

    I know this is his field, but I really wonder if he's making this too simple. If we get to 110 in Seattle that seems so anomalous that maybe you need to be looking at other mechanisms. This just doesn't fit the existing meteorological pattern for this region. When you consider that before yesterday there have been two days ever [recorded] with a high temp above 100, 110 just seems exceptionally improbable.

    Just gave my old T-bred his first cold hosing of the day. Fool won't stand in his shelter (two sided so it gets a breeze) and he overheats. Not looking good for him.

    101 now.

    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.

    Cliff Mass has his latest blog up. This is going to be nuts: https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2021/...ry-record.html

    "And the end of the event will be extraordinary, with temperatures falling by as much as 50F within a few hours."

    Now that he said this, they fucking better!

    Best of luck. Those PSE estimates usually are just hope propaganda.

    Just came back on.

    I didn't have much confidence in it being accurate based on experience.
