    99 in Berkeley right now. My house was built in like 1928 and since we rent obviously there’s been no energy efficient updating of insulation or anything like that since maybe the 60s. It’s like 94 inside right now. Sitting in front of multiple fans just blowing hot air at me this is the life y’all.

      I didn’t check today but it was 105 yesterday a few miles inland. I saw the HVAC dude at the food truck and he was the happiest I’ve ever seen him.

      Pretty much the same temps for me in the south bay.

      It’s not much, but wearing a soaked t-shirt/tank and having a fan or two circulating the air with the dryer stuff outside has helped me a bit.

      If you have a window to put one in a window AC unit can be life changing and you can get them for a decent price. I know it might still just be too expensive but if you can afford one i highly reccomend it. You can even bring it with you if you ever move apartments.
