canyonwalkerAnother heat wave is rolling across the Bay Area. Temperatures reached a high of 102° F (39° C) update: 103° in Sunnyvale today. It looks like San Jose hit 103° only 102°, still enough to edge out a record set for this date in 1973 (per National Weather Service).
I say another heat wave because just eleven days ago I posted about 98° heat. And just four days ago we started a cool snap. Temps didn't rise above 69° Friday. Cool weather continued through Sunday while we were out of town, warming up yesterday before peaking today.
Peaky weather like this is abnormal for the Bay Area. Here in Sunnyvale our average daily high this time of year is 81-82°, and usually the actual weather stays within a few degrees of that. Yet a few days ago it was 12-13° cooler than normal, and today it's 20° warmer. Extreme-r extremes like this are part of global warming.
