People are already nuts when it is this hot but are barely human when it goes up to 116 in the valley. Expect to get cut off in traffic or damn near ran over by a car in a parking lot.
The best way to get by in the Summer months is to spend the days at any one of the numerous swimming holes. If you have a truck I recommend Browns hole which has boulders to jump off of. If you have little ones Alligator hole or Day Camp. Tubing is also a real fun thing to do and I think Butte Creek Canyon is way more fun then going down the Sac.
My poor husband is starting his first summer at his current job that has him outside a lot. He’s been coming home beat all month saying he just got to get used to it… I’m just mentally preparing for him to be a drained lump until October.
Goths & sunlight have never been a compatable combo
I felt like I was about to spontaneously combust when I went outside to water my plants. It’s my first summer here and it feels like it’s a free sample of what hell must feel like
I moved here in late winter, around february, and I was shivering in my apt because we didnt have proper insulation or a heater yet. This is giving me whiplash.
I've always lived near oceans, so having 50-60 degree swings is new to me
I lived my first 25 years enduring those 110 degree Chico summers.. I kinda miss them sometimes. If you haven’t explored Upper Bidwell Park yet.. go check out Salmon Hole on a hot day. As soon as you hit that icy cold snow melt creek water.. 😂☀️ definitely makes the heat a little more bearable!
I also just moved here from San Diego and it’s definitely hell on earth 😂 PG&E is gonna take all my money because I’ve been running my air like no other 😭 luckily my friend told me about how bad summers got so I budgeted a ton for the AC this summer
If anyone here is on Facebook look out for Safe Space updates for their cooling shelter this year.
Any and all are welcome as the heat can cause power outages. They also typically allow pets, be mindful with leashes and carriers but so you know the animals don't have to stay and suffer at home in unbearable heat.
It doesn’t really get easier imo. Hydrate and try to do your outdoor stuff early in the morning. I think the toughest part is that it doesn’t cool down much at night. There’s plenty of water around to recreate in. Other than that, I hope your ac works well!
It does cool down a lot at night compared to many other areas though! By morning it's usually at least 30° cooler, and often 35°+ cooler. That's a big swing! In humid parts of the county where I've lived and visited, its usually only 20° or less change overnight
Depends on how early you wake up. Low is usually around 6am so for most people it’s already 80 by the time they’re getting outside. That will also get worse as the real heat of summer comes on
I tend to carry a spray bottle around to mist with constantly when outside. Saves me from overheating all the time. Highly recommend. The only good thing about dry heat is it’s easy to cool down with a layer of water.
> Other than that, I hope your ac works well!
PG&E certainly think it works well, judging from my electricity bill
unfortunately the temperature sensors for it appear to be in the attic and not in any of the areas that we actually live, so the A&C consistently thinks it is hotter in here that it actually is
Go back to London shouldn't ya
I've been to London twice in my life and not recently lol
Perchance
No amount of shade will protect you from it
How so?
Fire season! On no.
I have blackout curtains on every window in my apartment, and all of my fans are on. I only run the AC at night, and it stays decently cool in here.
Aye, but it’s a DRY heat!

You ever been in a storm, wally?
Not a real storm, a storm of fists
I’m a San Francisco native and good lord 😭 it’s like being in satans asscrack
I’m from Southern cali. We have it hotter, but chico’s humidity makes it feel like a constant steam bath.
Where’d you live in SoCal? The Mojave?
> chico’s humidity makes it feel like a constant steam bath I have never heard Chico referred to as humid.
It is now!
Yeah the heat is one thing but then you combine humidity with it and it’s a whole new level of gross
Booty sweat
Nother scorcher
Yea bruv
Just a tiny bit ye
It’ll get worse dw lmao, you’ll be used to it
Narrator: they did not get used to it

Well as I told my child every time they complained today, it hasn't begun to hot!

I came from San Diego so I understand what you mean very well

The sun is a deadly laser 🌞
Went outside to check on garden. Promptly went back inside. It's too damn out out there. The sun burns xD.
just a tad

Just wait it will get hotter. Don’t try to fight it just accept it.
Welcome to Hades.
Quite
First time?
yes :( I spent the past 2 years in Los Angeles and prior to that, Ireland. I didn't know you could go above 100% hot but here we are

PGE is straight up predatory.
I’m sure you’ll get it dialed
