The San Francisco Bay Area is having the hottest and longest heat wave of the year right now. I hate it. October shouldn’t be so hot. 90% of residences in SF don’t even have AC because it was almost never necessary 20 years ago.

The good news is that PG&Es “lower” winter rates kicked in on Oct. 1 so at least we get to fuck them back a little bit.

Also increases baseline allowance, which will be super useful since my “portable” AC has been eating so much power this month.

99 in Berkeley right now. My house was built in like 1928 and since we rent obviously there’s been no energy efficient updating of insulation or anything like that since maybe the 60s. It’s like 94 inside right now. Sitting in front of multiple fans just blowing hot air at me this is the life y’all.

Pretty much the same temps for me in the south bay.

It’s not much, but wearing a soaked t-shirt/tank and having a fan or two circulating the air with the dryer stuff outside has helped me a bit.

I didn’t check today but it was 105 yesterday a few miles inland. I saw the HVAC dude at the food truck and he was the happiest I’ve ever seen him.
