But going from 118 to 75 puts quite a strain on it. Lots of ac's tend to break down in the summer. Thats always fun. (Not) Some folks have swamp coolers. That will only cool things down so far, and when its this hot, its not far enough. And when its monsoon season and the humidity rises, swamp coolers are useless. The hard part though is the cost of the ac. My summer bills can be around $250. Older homes without good insulation can go up to $400. Elderly cant afford that, so they either do without or have it set so high they have heat issues. And die. Which is why I was so upset when our democrat governor janet napolitano said that we needed to develop green technologies. When told that would drive up electricity costs and hurt the poor, she said she didnt care. That was the first step to me breaking from the democrat party. First of all I can understand that a/c is expensive. I have had it but the temps have not been nearly that hot. I have gone equal payments and it was gas heat which is not nearly as expensive as electric. What in the heck are people doing out hiking when it is 120 degrees out? Not a wise choice.

We have had extremely hot temps in the early 1900s too, back when my area was merely a small farming town. Not the large city (6th largest in the us) that it is today, with asphalt and concrete producing a large urban heat island effect. The past few summers have actually been quite cool in my area. I think the has more to do with the pacific decadel oscillation than anything else. If it was due to global warming, it would have steadily been hotter, not less hot. Today, the temp is 3 degrees warmer this morning than it was yesterday. I am hearing that El Nino is now out and we will soon be seeing La Nina if it has not already come in.

That has only happened 3 times in our history, all in the 1990s. Well Jade yesterday and today here in Yucca Valley we topped at 110 with humidity. Miserable.
