this is from Crest, just north of where da folx are by the Sycuan golf course, which is like 3 miles from the Sycuan casino, which is 3 miles from where the fire is in Lawson Valley, which is like 3 miles south of Alpine. I like the area way more in February than I do in September!

yup it is and I hear ya, in fact it wasn't until 4th of July this year that I learned about a really cool relatively unknown swimming spot (way less frequented than Three Sisters or Devil's Punchbowl) where the Sweetwater River flows thru Horsethief Canyon, which just happens to be a few thousand feet from where that giant fire is in that photo

23.2Β°C here with 62% humidity and it's absolutely glorious.

Temperatures in the south of the UK are decent for the time of year and also oddly humid. Pissing with rain too, mind.

Projected temperatures on Sun-Mon across PacNW are so extreme that I think folks are having difficulty putting them into context. There remains some uncertainty, but places along I-5 corridor from Medford to Seattle have potential to *shatter* all-time records. #ORwx #WAwx pic.twitter.com/W9yr7XXxLF— Daniel Swain (@Weather_West) June 23, 2021

xp That's rough. My housemate's whole family chose this weekend to come to town and I feel bad for them as well. It's unnerving seeing these temps up ahead and not really knowing what to expect because I've never experienced Seattle in anywhere near that kind of heat.

The National Weather Service keeps bumping up the forecast high temps for my suburb of Portland. Two days ago they said 107Β° F on Sunday and 104Β° F on Monday. Now they say it will be 112Β° F on both days. The highest temp ever recorded for Portland stands at 107Β° F. Fuck.

oh shit that's terrible. Here it is currently 100, with 108 forecast for Monday.
I was in Europe during the heat wave of 2003 and I remember being absolutely miserable, but still being able to drag myself around the cities we were supposedly touring. I figured this might be sort of similar. Now I think I must have missed the worst of the 2003 heat wave, because this feels worse than anything I've experienced before. It doesn't really feel safe to be outside at all, unless you can stay in the shade the whole time.

A hotel sounds like a good idea, silby; glad to hear you've got a plan for the worst of the heat.
Hope everyone's staying safe.

If the power grid doesn't fail, we will manage OK in our house. We are also grateful to have several massive old trees in our yard that provide about 5 degrees of cooling just from them doing their normal thing all day.

i have a practice of walking/running about 5 miles a day and it's been hot enough lately that i've been going out later and later, but even at 1am it's going to be in the 80s the next couple of days so, uhhh, guess i'll learn to deal with that

So far today seems better than yesterday because it's breezy, but it's still early. Managed to get to the farmer's market around 11 and it was very hot but bearable. Some angel of mercy was walking around with a spray bottle of water, misting the market workers.
Walking back around noon, the heat started to feel pretty brutal again. Hope the breeze sticks around at least.

This episode of extreme heat is not, all by itself, worse than 9/11. What's so horrifying is the prospect of the future it so plainly opens to view, a future that just goes on and on with no hope of reprieve for, at best**, many decades. It's beyond ominous.
**a 'best' outcome that most assuredly won't happen
