Dadgum it Harry. All this time, I've been telling people it's not very humid in this area (which is just down the road from your area and just up the road from the Central Valley). However, I'm comparing it with Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Singapore, and so on. It doesn't have to get anywhere near forty degrees in those places to be really oppressive. (Ask Pat about Darwin, Australia.) Bill

Last July in the Sacramento Valley our car thermometer (it's a Volvo, and always right on) hit 48 briefly, before settling down to 47. People from California will remember that ten-day stretch of really hot weather. I had visitors from New Zealand in the car and they were amazed--and hot. And it is fairly humid here, unlike Arizona.
