The temps cited in the article are par for the course here, but if you're not used to it and don't know how to deal with it, people are going to die.

The same sort of thing happens in San Francisco once or twice a year. They're so used to it being about 65 degrees every single day that they can't handle it if it gets above the low 80s. The National Weather Service actually has to issue warnings, and lots of people end up hospitalized or dead, all at temperatures that people almost anywhere else in the country would consider merely annoying.

The last time I was in San Francisco - which was years ago (I refuse to spend my money there now) - they were in the middle of a so-called heat wave. Temps had hit the mid 80s. Since where I lived, it was about 105-110, it felt really nice to me, but I saw a lot of people drooping all over the place up there.
