My thought, given I'm by the coast and it's only 85 here right now. It's actually been weirdly cool up until August, actually, for a lot of CA. Everyone else was borrowing our summer heatwaves.

    I was just reading an article about the past 2 summers being below average along the coast here. That jibes with my experience. Honestly I wouldn't mind a few more hot days.

    Plus all the rain those previous years lead to a ton of growth. Then just one dry period was all it took to cause those horrible fires earlier this year. Inconsistency is kind of a big problem everywhere when it comes to climate change.
