BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

temp in is 97....where can you go to cool off. and I would think the heat index is high!

DianaT - 8-3-2010 at 02:32 PM

Sending ice! Yikes.

Russ - 8-3-2010 at 02:39 PM

This is a NW breeze that is dry. If we had this outside temp and 89% humidity the heat index would be much higher. I believe the heat index is an combo of outside temp, wind and humidity.
It isn't too bad with the fan going. Better dry the humid.

Russ...you are not alone. It's over a hundred in Boise, Idaho. Eastern Montana is in the 90's. Western ND is on fire. Most of the USA is way too hot. And much of the midwest has high humidity to boot.

Just now watching FOX reporting on many wildfires in Russia. Rome is way hotter than normal..many days over 100F.

However...we have the opposite problem. We're freezing here on the Washington Coast...brrr...57 degrees.

Mike y Roz,

Hola amigos...Sorry we missed you guys. We drove into Squim a few days back looking for Purple Haze, but no luck.

We're now on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound via the ferryboat from Everett. Been eating dungeness and clams ..having a ball at a buddy's beach house. We spent some time on the Olympic peninsula..damn cloudy and coolish on the coast. Not at all like poor Russ in Baja.

We had to hurry here to attend a wedding 2 days ago on the island. If I had my druthers, I'd double back now and give you a shout, but I think we're pointing the bus east manana. I have my orders.

Not looking forward to the heat inland, but we'll be in the mountains soon enough. Trout for a late breakfast is my favorite. Til that time...ciao.

p.s. It damn nice here..down to 50's at night and highs of mid 70's. It's quite bearable..:rolleyes:

Russ... the weather is perfect :lol: for you to finally go look at the Magdalena visita ruins... Remember, we got there last July (2009)... and it is in you own back yard!





The road in from Km 162.5 is best route, and well traveled.

nbacc - 8-3-2010 at 07:18 PM

Redding is good today....typical Aug weather. Dry and close to 100, I can live with that. We will head back down to San Felipe when the weather starts to get bad. Nancy

David K - 8-3-2010 at 07:53 PM

It is freaky cool in San Diego County... all of July, and now August. Still the May Gray and June Gloom going on in the AM, and then just the mid 70's in the afternoon when the sun burns through.

I lived in San Diego for 12 weeks (boot camp) It was cold and foggy in the morning and burning hot on the parade ground in the afternoon. Actually it was perfect!

Was 51º at 7AM in San Francisco. We've not seen the sun for to long here near the beach. I will be in Mulege Sept 17 for a week or so. Should be nice and warm.

Sallysouth - 8-3-2010 at 08:43 PM

I have no problem with the cool weather we have had all summer.For long walks in the morning it is perfect.Lots of fog at the harbor today tho.The sun comes out in the afternoon, perfect for gardening.Only one problem is our squash plants got the "wet white fungus" from not enuf sun.

Mike..we saw the sign when coming off the freeway, but as we went into town, we could not see any more..so we ended up in some coffee house..


We liked all the lavender festivities. The motorhome still smells like it. :rolleyes:





In keeping with the temperature theme of this thread..Squim, Washington was the start of warm weather and some sun for our entire Pacific Coast trip. Nice temps you guys have! No wonder that stuff grows so well.

I lived on the Kitsap peninsula for 13 years and although Western Washington is beautiful I think I like the sun a lot more at this time in my life!

Must say I hear you on that one Russ..

Have thus far enjoyed the weather to date greatly, but.. the Saddle Back Valley in Orange County has not been all that hot either this year... no above 100º so far and were into the first week in August

But, here south of Rosarito, the weather could not be beat.. that June doom and gloom that most people is my favorite ... sun breaking out by 10-11 with temps in the high 70s with some breeze coming from the west at peak gusts sometime around 12-15 (need to get a Russ meter, that is soooo cool along with bubba too)

Think it's most likely been pretty cool all the way down the Pacific side this year is sounds like... just get a bit warm on the other side of those mountains

Must say though.. having it to your self, the just beatiful water.. and cool fishing ... and looks to be some very interesting water holes... sounds like a pretty good trade off.

Myself, I could not take that heat anymore... nor that wind and 40s-50's .... really a sissy in my old age... things get to cold, the aches on joints and old breaks get bad ... too hot, and I don't cool down like I used to ..... and it sucks the life out of me.. and I just hate staying inside an air conditioned room... I like to smell the ocean, and the smells one get from being outside.. birds, chickens goats.. people taking.. cats and dogs..

Have a bad habit to leaving my door open, have a couple of dogs, but know some to take them out if they want... but, I like the smell of the ocean... and leaving it open creates a draft... which I enjoy also.. wind.. something else you don't get being inside an air conditioned room..

So the northern baja is from a climate standpoint is pretty darn good..

Plus having cliffs isn't to bad for Tusamai's and hurricans ... as I see they have gotten up this far on occasion.. (hurricans)

It's all good.. but will have to keep climate controlled by nature or time my movements correctly for me...

Still want to see that side .... I hope to... :):)
