The High pressure system that normally bakes the Southwest is positioned farther east for this time of year (due in part to the continued troughs along the west coast). The Midwest bakes while here in California...we are feeling great. Once the High retrogrades back to the west and becomes a “four corners High”...California will finally get some of the summer weather. Normally, we will have had several 100+ days, but where I live...we have not had one day that has been over 98° this year.
you are lucky for now !
I actully has not been that bad here in Ohio compared to states just off to our west in reguards to the heat. but that changes in a big way in the next 18 hours
