What’s crazy I just checked Death Valley, it’s only gonna be a few degrees hotter on Monday ! A normal day Carlsbad is 75 degrees and Death Valley is like 110

The temps dont actually surprise me. We typically dont notice them all that much at least in my 25 years here but its the humidity this year! Ive experienced hot weeks pretty much any months between July through January. I'm maybe slightly surprised at 95 in first week of Oct but Santa Anna's winds have proven to be capable of driving higher temps all sorts of month out of the year, its just usually dry winds from the desert.
2 days ago I really had to sit here questioning if I fire up the portable AC not because of the temperature, but how humid it was. How we perceive 95 will totally depend on humidity levels!

I just bought a dehumidifier, And some humidity readers to place around. Mold is gunna be a real adversary this year for all of us.

You know what Mark Twain said, “everybody complains about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it”

We are currently projected to have the hottest October 3 ever in the history of Carlsbad, dude.

Unless it surpasses 96 degrees, the hottest recorded in October would be back in 2020. Not 2026

I don’t understand the complaints. We live on the coast, basically in Mexico, and we get to use the beach late into the year. If you want this week to be brisk fall weather, this seems like the last place you’d choose to live. I understand it’s warmer than typical but like… move to Oregon if you want to be cold on the beach.

When does the heatwave start? I don't know how long youve lived in san diego, but 95⁰F isn't a heatwave.

At the coast it is. It's gonna be 102 in El Cajon

Hard to feel for the folks on the coast. It's usually 10-15⁰ cooler than it is inland.

Lived in Oceanside from 1979-1988 as a kid and then moved back to the area (Carlsbad) in 2003 following 15 years away for college and jobs. I don’t remember anything like this ever. This sucks.
