9/4 UPDATE - caught a real break in the last 10 days.....yeah, when official, we will tack on day number 34 today.....and day 35 and 36 the next two days.....111?...will it happen?...with smoke in the air? I will be your "man on the ground" in the midst of it!!! When do I stop counting the 100 degree days anyway? It seems like it should start on Memorial Day and end on Labor Day. I'll have to look back on it. I am SO DONE with this summer!!!!


8/24 UPDATE - caught a "break" since last week's update. It SHOULD have been all days over 100 since my last report.  We have had MASSIVE fires.  These have created smoke clouds and horrendous air quality.....and just a general feeling of "grossness" in the atmosphere. But, it did keep up barely under a 100 on a few of the days since last week.

8/17 UPDATE - I am calling it official.  With the predictions of the upcoming 7 days, we are going to have more days over 100 than have EVER been recorded formally in Almanac history!!! YAY for us!!!  I recall framing houses back in the summer of 1984 or 1985. I want to think we had 35 days over a hundred there in the Sacramento area....BRUTAL!!! We will easily get to 36 in a week....and we will still have a week of August to go!!!

8/12 UPDATE - WE ARE COOKED!!! I haven't even recorded today yet and we have a possibility of 8 or more days over 100 pointed straight at our head! 2017 had the most days over 100 since I started doing this. 2020...on top of everything else....might just throw in the "hottest summer in recent history" as the cherry on top! 


8/4 UPDATE - OK....we are there....NO MORE DAYS of 100!!! Hooray!!! ........OK....like that is going to happen. We are at the beginning of August.  Now, it is just a question of weather this summer is going to rival 2016-2018.

7/10 UPDATE - Tossed 3 more on in the last 11 days.....and 3 more AT LEAST coming BAM BAM BAM.  June had more 100 degree days than last year BUT the average high and low for the day were about a degree less than last year....so ....well.....that's something!

6/29 UPDATE - OK....8 days through the end of June. WE only had 5 through the end of June last year when we ended up with 23 days. It looks like we will be in the clear for at least the first week of July. July is always the brutal month.

5/30/2020 - It's Almanac time again! Yep, as WORTHLESS as it's been for the last four years, I am STILL going to do it again.

This year - I think there just has to be a calibration for the fact that we may be having some Global Warming.

I didn't say it was "man made" - that can be a bit subjective (nope...I trust scientists about as much as politicians)

That said  - if it is "man made" one would think things might cool down a little this year too. All of us are staying inside, not driving as much, not as much manufacturing. So, I gotta figure that in as well.

Factoring all that in.....The Almanac is going to call for 17-22 days of 100 degrees or more as reported by Weather.com
