Re: More Hot... :-( - Pat - 05-01-2014
1920s house with no insulation or A/C and we get quite a few more hot days here in the IE than you do near the coast. Used to be nice until we had to cut down the HUGE cedar on the south side of the house a few years ago. Now it's hot as all get out in the house. G5 is still chugging along though.
The Santa Anas are just our way of not only giving back your smog, but sharing a little heat too.

I'd say "we thank you", but it might be tad disingenuous. :-)
Spend/spent a lot of time in the IE, so no stranger to the beastly heat there. Loss of that south side cedar was probably devastating. No shade here either, until about 30-40 minutes before sunset. So how do you cool down?

That's ironic, considering what you do for a living.

Even more ironic when you consider where Pat spends the bulk of his "down" time… LOL. His house may well be the "coolest" place of all. Death Valley must be simply simmering this week.

What does Pat do for a living? HVAC?

swamp cooler is the wrong thing for LA -- theres no humidity.

Unless your local usage of the term 'swamp cooler' is different, the lower the humidity, the more efficient/effective a swamp (evaporative) cooler is.

A colleague of mine who lives in OC was telling me that the high in Huntington Beach on Tuesday was 95 degrees. WTF?
