Much of the state and the southwest is on alert for an extensive heat wave through the weekend and early next week. In the mountains of Big Sur, we are expecting 105-110 degrees. I went to Cambria today, for Farmer’s Market and heat relief. Monday I’ll be going to the vet in Morro Bay to get Gideon his summer haircut. Saturday and Sunday, I’ll be busy taking cold showers every 1/2 hour.

The weekend is the Nac music festival where it will be over 100 each day. There is a large pond for swimming, and I imagine it will get lots of use.

Okay, I’ll be back in a few days, after I’ve melted.

  • Well, Carmel Valley may not have the Pacific to adore close up but it's not hot. Maybe reached 85. Can't speak for Cachagua which is always hotter. Here, as always, fast drop after 1 or 2, feels like 75 now. During Brooklyn heatwaves I was, as you describe, every 1/2 hour showering. I doubt this will last long, Kate. Good trip to you and haircut-ready pupper.

  • we juste nded a hot and humid week, here. I felt bad about it until I saw, on the news what you all are enduring out west. Be safe, Kate.
