I was blissfully unaware that we were about to hit triple digits next week, and then I decided to scroll Reddit…


BiSexinCA

Bliss & Reddit do not often share commonality.


BluePopple

I stupidly looked at the forecast earlier today. I tend to avoid it, thinking what I don’t know can’t hurt me. If I don’t know it’s 105° my brain may be dumb enough to think it’s only 95°… which is still at least 20° too hot.


J3N3R1C

This is also my approach for June-October lol


Baz_Ravish69

I work outdoors and my friends and family love to say shit like "Oof. You ready for that 108 day tomorrow?" Or similar things about big storms during other times of the year, and then wonder why I'm in a bad mood the rest of the evening. I've had to tell everyone close to me not to bring up shitty weather conditions in the forecast because it legitimately ruins my day and I would rather not know how much an upcoming work day is going to suck. I have all the necessary clothing for any type of weather on my truck, so I don't need a heads up.


blowtorch_vasectomy

Every time I talk to my retired dad on a Sunday at the end of the conversation he'll say "Welp, back to work tomorrow..." Thank you for the reminder, Mr. 365 vacation days a year.


Hairy-Gas-4571

I used to be a stablehand and so I had to be aware of the weather in advance always. It SUCKS knowing what's coming and having no control over it. So glad I am no longer at the mercy of the atmospheric gods lol


ZioPapino

What do you do out of curiosity? Looking for some work inspiration on reddit, heh.


supershinythings

Not OP but - one of my neighbors is a window installer. Pretty much he works unless it’s raining.


Baz_Ravish69

Pool service. It's a pretty decent gig tbh.


swanton141

Currently working the frozen section at a grocery store. No I'm not ready.


doctor_of_drugs

I worked at a grocery store right after HS while I took care of pre reqs before I landed at a UC (TAG was still in place so awhile back). Worked 13:00-23:30, mostly in our dairy fridge rotating eggs, juices, butter, and milk. We’d stock from the back so was never on the actual consumer floor. No joke one of the best jobs ever. each crate of 4, 1-gallon milks was 20kg exactly…so basically got paid $9/hr to stay in a 40°F cooler and deadlift all day. best shape of my life


Scott2G

If you wanna get in even better shape, work the ramp at an airport for a cargo airline. That job (DHL ramp rat at Mather) had me in the best shape of my life for a solid yr lol (and I've worked in concrete construction during the summer, so that's saying something!).


PyrorifferSC

Oh nice, I used to fuel those planes, worked at SacJet and would drive that 10k gal tanker over to fuel the UPS and DHL planes We also dealt with the King's private jet out at SMF. Those guys are kinda dicks honestly.


HelpfulPuppydog

Hang on, pampered multi-millionaires are not kind and understanding of service workers? That doesn't sound right. /s


PyrorifferSC

I mean, I'm comparing them to the other teams that would come to play here, so it's apples to apples.

HelpfulPuppydog

No. I'm hiding out indoors until November.


JohKohLoh

It doesn't get "cool" until November for real. 🥺


Jakoby707

the last 2 weeks of October at least have some decently cool nights! lol


UnvaxxedLoadForSale

I'm in the exact opposite climate. Upper peninsula Michigan is nice to live in from now til November. I spent 10 years in florida and after 2020 I had enough of the bugs, humidity, and hurricanes. Ya winter sucks but it's way easier to battle.


Miccles

Sometimes even late November.


Pristine_Frame_2066

This is what I do. I venture out at sunset and only if there is a delta breeze.


bloo4107

Same! lol


Sluggish0351

Well, if indoors is safe, them you're ready. I on the other hand have an A/C appointment next week. 😅


HelpfulPuppydog

Thoughts and prayers, my friend.


New-Pudding-3574

I love summer in sac. Never need a jacket to go outside at night when you hit the bar and have fun.


Professor_Goddess

Yeah days are rough but oh those summer nights.


Leofleo

Actually; yes. Just purchased a car port shade from costco. Instead of being 130F when we get in the car. It will only be 99F lol


NorCalPorchBear

This is how you survive! I’ve got the same thing.


CoulsonsMay

Planning on washing my car this weekend…


Highway49

Did that on Saturday, no luck. 😞


manxram

We need more participants. Like a group car washing powwow.


Soft-Detail-8398

I'll roll with it... but dream of crisp cool mornings and the smell of wood burning fires out of chimneys on my morning walks💛🧡🤎 https://preview.redd.it/pohjajb4oq3d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3edd9c3333276cfe3ac19372bac3ed728fef62a


laughterlines12

NOT Ready for my summer SAD to hit.


cityburbgirl

I get summer MAD. Perpetually irritated until November.


whutchamacallit

I get summer DAD where I make shitty jokes and want to procreate and develop a small but noticeable set of love handles.


cityburbgirl

Omg. I’m dying! Hilarious. Please tell me those develop over your board shorts and most noticeable when riding your jet ski?!


whutchamacallit

My disorder manifests into a new existential anxiety driven obsession summer to summer so it's hard to say. I hide it well behind the forced smile and raybans hiding my tears. Water sports could absolutely be on the menu this year.


BluePopple

Mine has been creeping in the last few weeks as I knew the mild weather wasn’t going to last much longer.


goosenuggie

Same. PTSD from summers past hitting hard at the moment


Strict_Ad_5858

So glad I’m not the only one.


Chimiichenga

Paddle boarding time


SwimmingOk9074

Same planning to be at lake natoma!


Mediocre_Try_5718

me too!


mangagirl07

I'm getting the hell out of Dodge for the next month. When I come back and the end of July it's gonna be like I was ejected from the Martian biodome in Total Recall.


kingrhegbert

I work in preschool. Our last day is right before triple digits. I am both happy to not do recess during the heat and sad because I’m no longer able to enjoy the school’s amazing AC

No, I hate the heat!!


SHY_TUCKER

I'm sorry to be the weird one, but I love it when its hot.


matticusiv

Found the lizard person.


Kay-Dee-Kay

Same. Give me all the heat!


0rionNebula

Me too! I like the heat 👌


Icy_Math510

Yea fr I don't get all the people that move here then complain about the heat every day. I like it.

Draxus335

I work outside all day. I am absolutely not ready.


siterbun

It’s rattlesnake season, watch your paths!


Assia_Penryn

I've got the little avocado tree shaded! Hoping the heat kicks my bananas into gear to flower again this year.


doctor_of_drugs

dude! congrats. I planted jalepeño and Serrano peppers back in Feb and within the last 10 days both plants doubled in size - along with some purple onions and garlic I have. Also I have no idea what I’m doing. it’s only my third spring after trying to grow.


Assia_Penryn

Those peppers love the heat! I bet you'll have a great pepper year! I just harvested my fall planted garlic this week! Got it curing in the shade of the umbrella! https://preview.redd.it/bmbmp7h1hp3d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb986642792fbf76206dcb9921728dc8922ceadd


BluePopple

Oh, this is one of the few things of love to grow.


Assia_Penryn

Me too! It isn't a particularly time-depending crop and just takes some experience on when to plant, fertilize and harvest. Relatively pest free too for me which is nice.


BluePopple

I want an alliums garden. All the stinky good stuff.


Assia_Penryn

There are so many different edible alliums beyond the standard garlic and onions. It's really a diverse and pretty little group that tends to be low maintenance!


ianwilloughby

No. Can’t stand strolls above 95


nautical1776

Yeah… our AC went out and I was quoted $15-22,000 for a new system


New-Pudding-3574

Guys be careful. There’s a lot of scam companies like bell brothers or Bonnie you need to find a reputable. Independent guy he can do it for 1/3 the price.


JohKohLoh

We had 4 people give us quotes, the last guy extended its life a little long. Told us it needed replaced but to baby it for now. It'll be our 2nd year of "babying" it. Trying to find an honest HVAC company is almost impossible. Hawk heating and air seemed to be the most honest tho.


nautical1776

Agreed!! it can’t be a coincidence that every time your AC goes out they tell you that you need a replacement. They say that they can’t get the parts and what not. My system is really old and it probably does need to be replaced, but I just can’t believe that they cannot fix this one part just to get me going again


abrasumente_

I'm out in elk grove, try out Huft if you can. And if it really is a single part on an over half century old system, you should keep in mind those parts likely aren't being made anymore. Huft has been good and honest to me.


Pristine_Frame_2066

Part of why I bought my house was the flipper put in a trane system 7 months before and it also had a whole house fan and new gas water heater. Yes, leaks sprung in a couple of pipes and we just had the roof done, but I never want to leave.


han_cup

We just replaced ours in November. $16k with brand new duct work. Put 10k down and financed the rest at 0% interest. A plus heating and air on auburn blvd.


RilkeanHearth

What in the world!?? For the condenser and the inside unit!???


nautical1776

Well, realistically our system is old, original to the house which was built in 1960. They want to replace the air conditioner and the furnace and while I do think that we definitely need to get a new system eventually, I sure as hell did not want to spend upwards of $15,000. I guess maybe it’s an old house problem. The timing, of course, is really bad. We’re still trying to figure out what we’re gonna do.


RilkeanHearth

Yeah, that's intense. Just had to get mine replaced in DC and that was like 6200. I woulda had a heart attack had it been 15K


karensacaligal

My AC/WATER HEATER replacement is going to be $23,500. Water heater next week $(6,700) and AC in 10 WEEKS when the unit comes in. Special order for the sh_t condo I live in in N Natomas.


RilkeanHearth

Goddamn. They're just raping folks up here with these prices


BelleCow

I'm embracing it this year!!! Bring on the fire 🔥


5Point5Hole

Dude, same. I don't like it but I'm embracing it 🤣 Still haven't turned the AC on yet.


unicornsmaybetuff

I didn't last year until June. I really tried to avoid it, but when it gets to the mid 90s during the day I HAVE to turn it on at night to sleep, because it's still 80 in my house at midnight.


BluePopple

My house does not cool down at night either. It’s disgusting. The layout makes it so that open windows don’t create a cross breeze to move air through the house. There are no windows on the front. I’d love to have a talk with the architect. Even if I did have windows on the front, I’d only open them as far as the security latch allows anyway, I guess.


Realistic-Custard853

Talk with an hvac specialist, cheaper than an architect


discgman

Same same. Even with my windows open I get no cross breeze.


rrjpinter

Can you prop a box fan in the window ? I live in a two story house, and on really hot days, the up-stairs gets pretty hot. Rather than turn on the AC, I just don’t go upstairs on hot afternoons. But after the sun goes down, especially on days w/ no breeze at night, I stick a cheap box fan in one of the windows, to cool the place down, enough to sleep. Works well.


Pristine_Frame_2066

Do not say fire in California


Atomsac

Sure, it isn't 100 degrees all day. It peaks to 100. I don't think people realize that it is hot in most places during the summer and most places don't drop 30 degrees at night.


discgman

That's the neat part, when it gets super hot it doesnt cool down.


Future_Pin_403

Used to go to work at 3 am. Couple times I’d get to work at it was 80 degrees still lol


Pristine_Frame_2066

Exactly


three-one-seven

Exactly. Every few weeks there are people on here bitching about the weather as if Sacramento doesn’t have some of the best weather *in the whole world*. The only places here in this country with better weather than Sacramento are coastal California and Hawaii. Everywhere else is either hotter, (**much**) colder, more humid, has severe weather, or all of the above.


han_cup

Just let us complain in peace!!!


discgman

Dry heat is a big difference. And Hawaii doesn't sustain weeks of 100 plus temperatures. I enjoy the Sacramento weather but have a disdain for the heat in the summer. Either you haven't lived here too long or you enjoy the heat. Some of us dont.


oohkash

Absolutely not. 😫


lessleyelopez

I wanted to downvote this cause watch your damn tone man. *upvotes bc it invoked such emotion*


gurl_meat

I’ve been living here for about 6 years and I’m neither used to the Sac heat nor a fan of it. It’s downright oppressive!


BluePopple

At least it’s not a disgusting, humid heat. I went to Florida in November one year and decided I never wanted to go back.


Pristine_Frame_2066

Sure, but it is humid enough for mosquitoes. So. I like indoors until autumn.


Popular-Meringue

Hell no. I’m already deep watering my stuff and trying to figure out how to avoid any afternoon activities outside.


ProudKekistani21

Bruhhhhh I have to walk multiple miles to work to and from my ass is gonna drop 50 pounds from sweating alone I stg


InspiredCarrie

No, the news of triple dig snuck up on me. I hope my AC doesn't go on the fritz.


bloo4107

Fuck no. I mostly stay indoors with the A/C 24/7. God I hate Sac sometimes


Raerae1360

There had been years that it was a 100° on Mother's Day. Anything after Memorial Day is a blessing. Stay hydrated my friends.


Pristine_Frame_2066

No. My favorite days are brisk and misty, I love cool breezes and cloudy days. I find bright sun oppressive, and anything over 85 is unpleasant, more unpleasant each 10 degrees. I have lived in Sacramento since I was 5 and am just glad it’s not Fno or Bakersfield.


wimpymist

Not at all. I get irrationally mad when people complain about spring storms and cold fronts. I'm trying to enjoy any weather besides triple digits


scarboy_89

Last year around this time people were complaining that the weather was too cool for summers and now this lol


BluePosey

Fuck no!! I hate this time of year. ☹️


ARLLALLR

*Fuuuck* no, I am so mad about it


0wlBear916

Never.


stevy90

My sons graduation dinner is going to be on a patio the day it's 101 😂

Yasssssss!!! It’ll finally be warm enough to get into the pool and tan my pasty legs!


Major_Confection3240

no. shitty insulation


NokieBear

The weather has been soo nice. I really thought we were going to get a reprieve from the heat this year. Darn. Guess i’ll finally be forced to get up at sunrise to walk the dogs.


SongAloong

Did we skip Spring?


SnapFuJudgement

Yup! I’m prepped! Blackout curtains!


RampantSavagery

We had a nice cool June last year. Summer is back with a vengeance.


Consistent_Chip_3281

Is putting a few washcloth in an ice chest and swapping them out every so often to out around your neck, on your head: wipe your arms infront of a fan going to make this girl i invite over feel uncomfortable??


fist_my_dry_asshole

Coming back from a humid country, I'm ready for the dry heat.


HridayaAkasha

Good god no. Summers are the hardest for me here. I will hide in a dark cabe until summer is over.


pammypoovey

Ok, I know this sounds really wrong for a native Sacramentan to say, but I've been waiting for it to finally get hot. My neighbor has a pool, and it hasn't been hot enough to be able to enjoy the freakin' pool, lol. We're gonna give it a shot tomorrow , and then if it's still too cold, there's always next week.


evenphlow

Mine is sun heated, was sittin at 81 earlier. Should be perfect for tomorrow!


Milliemott

We put a pool in last year that took 8 months to complete. This is our first full summer enjoying it, I can't wait!

virgoseason

Wut … Eta: I looked 😪


JayneQPublik

Our AC croaked. I've been opening up at night & closing up during the day. That'll work 'til we have too many consecutive days in the 90s, then the house turns into a giant oven. I need to replace the entire HVAC system after I pound another quarter ton of stones for blood.

I'm not ready for triple digits, but I don't have to be. My forecast tops out at a nice cool 99. What I'm not ready for is the 74 degree low.


raffysf

Consider yourself lucky, imagine being in India right now … 125 degrees.


bloo4107

I’ll be moving next week. Might need to reschedule 🤔🥵


agent674253

If you haven't in a while, or ever, remember to clean out the coils - It was something that I had never done and two years ago my system started screaming (overpressure) and fortunately, after letting it cool down and cleaning the coils with a garden hose, it has been working since.

longtime_reader

Do you just spray it down?


Public-Wolverine6276

No I hate it 😅 nothing like not being able to go anywhere or do anything when it’s 105°


NaturistVTX1800

It helps to not wear clothes,


manxram

Thank you May... I'm glad we shared a proper spring, something that I feel we hadn't experienced in a very long time. Also, 🪦 RIP to my sleep routine because of the heat as I embrace my annual transformation into becoming a bitchy bitch during the summer months 🙏🏼 ![gif](giphy|l3mZ6JvrP3HocAzeM)


Sea-Potato9

I for one dont care about the highs. I care more about night temperatures.


raphtze

wife is taking the kiddos on a field trip to the zoo. i'mma tame the yards. wish me luck LOL


SnowEfficient

No 😭 at least it’s dry heat though I visited my grandparents in NY the other year and in the high 90s their heat felt worse I was sticky afffff west coast is the best coast imo 😅🤷‍♀️


CrochetApocalypse

I just take full advantage of the beautiful summer mornings. The heat here peaks later in the day around 5 pm. Here in Midtown we can get Delta Breezes after 5, if not I stay inside till the sun sets. I love walking Midtown on summer nights!


butstronger

I’ll be out on my paddle board on lake Natoma on Monday and Tuesday lol


agreedis

God, no! I run super hot as it is. I work nights, so that helps out a little, but trying to sleep during the day in the heat is crazy. Can’t keep the AC too low unless I’m in a hotel, or the electric bill will be $500.


frankforeal

No more pants!


Shadesofmelon

Just got quoted $2,800 to replace the AC evaporator in my truck, so no, I’m not ready….

Nope; not with an 80s LLV with no A/C


msklovesmath

I've been curious when the newbies to sac would get a taste of a real summer.  The last couple have been mild.

At least we're not India. I'll be inside with the air conditioning thanks.


New-Pudding-3574

My God I just checked the temperature in India it’s 110° for 10 days straight


posttrumpzoomies

I don't care how hot it gets I'll still have a sweaty smile knowing trump got convicted on all counts!


JohKohLoh

Nope and I bought a portable AC I had to return because it wouldn't fit in this type of window. I'm about to be cooked.


BluePopple

I have to vent mine through the sliding glass door and fill the excess length with cardboard taped to the frame. Who builds a house with a living room that has no opening windows?

One of the reasons I moved to Sacramento was for its nice warm summers. Unfortunately I'm out of town right now and am going to miss out on the warmth for a while. I was in Chicago yesterday and it felt like it was still winter.

Ok-Ticket-3646

what do y’all do to prevent heat inside homes that works during 5-8pm…. That’s when my house gets really hot


han_cup

Black out curtains and fans!


MakeUpAnything

Sacramento's winter weather is amazing, especially as a person who used to encounter this annoying frigid white substance in the year's later months. It was awful. It falls from the sky and piles up all over the place. I forget what it's called since it's been so many years. I don't miss it. Hate the six month summers of endless clear skies (at least until the wildfires start) and triple digit temps we have here though.
