Multiple places in the #High_Desert should also be above 100F tomorrow and Sunday (Sat 2023-07-01 and Sun 2023-07-02), but with low humidity.
This isn't like #TX, where parts of the state were under "wet bulb" warnings (so hot and so humid that people are likely to die because their bodies cannot cool off) recently.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I said that we are too smug in #CA, when
(1) Our homes are not heavily insulated, so if below zero temperatures came, we’d be dependent on utilities not failing.
(2) The fires in NorCal a few years back revealed that our state Public Utilities Commission is under the control of the utility companies, just like Texas’ privately-owned grid operator. Californians generally use natural gas for heating, instead of electricity, but some of our natural gas utilities have reputations for skimping on maintenance.
(3) Every time a power company has a “public safety power shutoff”, that’s a reminder that their lack of infrastructure investment threatens the homes and lives of Californians.
In short, a version of that could happen in #California. I’m not saying it is likely, but remember that Texas’ experience wasn’t likely until it happened.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink
