How hot will your 4th be?

3 years ago

Right now at 1:30 in Cathedral City, it is 114°, but with 11% humidity, it only feels like 110°. Water in the pool is around 91°, and so it feels a bit warm, but it is pleasant enough to be in.

The first time I went to Palm Springs with relatives from Long Beach in 1968, it was 4th of July and was 116° in Palm Springs. I could not understand why they wanted to leave Long Beach, where it was 73° at their house two blocks from the beach. The pool that they took me to was fed by hot springs, and the water must have been close to 98°.

We're mostly staying inside now and only going outdoors in the early morning or after 5 PM, except for short jaunts. The UV index is 11, but the air quality is okay at 43.
