    Crazy that million dollar homes don’t have AC in the Bay Area. Oakland and Berkeley is no different.

    I'm in the Pacific Northwest. We're accustomed to mild weather. In 2021 thought I was going to die. I have an air conditioner for the first time in my life. And if the county wasn't giving them to low income people I wouldn't. When I think about the people in tents...I'm afraid this summer will see a lot of deaths. Check on people, especially the elderly and disabled. We're going to need each other in the days to come, and not just because of heat. Stay safe people. Love from pdx 🌹

    Wildlife has it a million times tougher than us pampered humans. Shade screen on the OUTSIDE of glass windows keeps windows from becoming magnifying glasses, 20 degrees cooler with shade cloth or something on OUTSIDE.

    I miss the spring we go from raining in the spring to heat.

    Open your windows at night, let in the cool air. Shut the windows and pull the shades in the morning. This will keep the cooler air in the house for awhile until it heats up. Go to a cool place if you can to hang out for the afternoon and evening.

    It might get to 118 where I live. Cant go outside for even 5 minutes. Just in case protecting the planet would help with heat, im 1000% on board.

    Before moving to Central Cal in Tulare county (and we are expected to go upwards of ±110°F) i used to live in East Side San Jose by downtown over near McKinley elementary. Our house didnt come with an AC unit. Best way we beat the heat was either having the whole house's ceiling fans on or sleep on the floor.

  • @melodicgrog
    You moved to a desert and are baffled that deserts get hot
  • @earldelsanto
    Back in the 60s and 70 we had a/c but rarely ever needed to use it.
  • @dink182j4
    When its 100° where I live its a nice day. My car said it was 117° a couple of days ago.

    Buy ice and place in coolers and stick your feet in, kiddie pools for animals filled with ice water.
