Oh, you haven't heard? The police confiscate it if your neighbors call to report you running it.

Okay, solar panels and wall battery pack it's or you think they will confiscate it as well?

The fire smoke has been reducing the intensity of our sunlight lately, so good luck with that...

Yesterday was 121 here, day before around 115-117, today it's over 100. Next 7 days it's over 90 near 100. Pretty sure there will not be an issue getting solar panels to charge.

You're confusing IR bands.

We're breaking more heat records.

“The weather feature that is driving this heat wave is covering the entire West Coast,” said David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard. “It’s a very, very large area of high pressure. It’s basically a dome of very hot air sitting over the state of California and the rest of the West Coast.”

It's hot, but heat waves in the 90s and 100s are far from unknown in October. In fact, if memory serves, it is more usual than not for early October to be very hot. The only difference between now and the past that I see is that we didn't used to have to worry that our electricity would be shut off if we used the a/c.

Not this hot.

At least six daily heat records were broken in Central and Southern California on Wednesday, including the hottest-ever Sept. 30 at Los Angeles International Airport (92 degrees) and Long Beach Airport (105). - from the link in post #56

California summers are 2.5 degrees warmer than they were in the 1970s, said Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at the Breakthrough Institute, an Oakland-based think tank.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, temperatures have risen approximately 2°F

I don't know about the 1970s (I was too young to remember), but in the later 1980s and 90s, not only was it hot in October, there were a number of earthquakes in that month. The largest being the Whittier quake in 1987, which was very close to me. We used to refer to October as Shake-n-Bake month.

I'm sure you are right about records broken in places today. It's currently 95 in my OC city, supposed to peak at 97, but the record is 101, so it's not a record for us.

The immediate cause of power shortages was the heat storm, which saw California experience four of its five hottest August days in the last 35 years, the analysis found.
