| Registering 114°F after being parked in the sun, the car "cooled" to 102°F after I drove it for 15 minutes. |
Californians endured another straight day of searing temperatures on Monday as this summer’s heatwave shattered records — with Livermore’s mercury hitting 116 degrees, the highest ever recorded, Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield registering a blistering 117 degree, and Gilroy registering 112 degrees, breaking its previous daily record of 106 set in 2020...The outdoor thermometer registered 102°F in Foster City and reminded me of the hottest days in Los Angeles in 1974 when I took a summer job. In those days I had to wear a suit into the office and drive a car with no air conditioning.
At its peak, the South Bay saw some of the most extreme temperatures in the region Monday. Along with Gilroy, Redwood City registered 106 degrees, beating the previous record of 97 set in 1983, according to the National Weather Service. San Jose even saw the highest temperature ever recorded on this date at 104 degrees, breaking the previously held record of 99 degrees in 2008.
From the breathless news reports one would think the sky is falling, but really, this isn't so bad.
