Markini Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well LA has Santa Anna conditions for the rest of the week pretty much. Today will be the coolest of the week, here at Redondo Beach atm the temp is 89 F and humidity 8%, and its only going to get worse. I have 3 Humidifiers going, a portable (has wheels) 14,000 BTU AC set on low, set point 70 F. One humidifier in living room where AC is, one in a bedroom converted to a workshop and one in my back room for guitar storage. Got a fan going in my bedroom and another in the guitar storage room. Anyhow I am barely holding at 29% humidity, indoor temp not bad about 78F average. Dries out the skin and makes my guitars squeaky.. Darn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markini Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 It will be getting into the 90s today at the beach with single digit humidity and Santa Anna winds. Tomorrow will be worse. I am expecting temp records to be broken. Still have all 3 humidifiers going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brc Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I am not too far from you, Stanton, Orange county, Ca. and we actually hit 101 here yesterday. Not even summer yet. Think I am going to crank on the AC and chill out all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ah, yes! I remember the Santa Ana's, well (30 years worth). And, the heat that often went with them. Though it seems a little "weird" for May, out there?! We're having "normal" (or, so they say) May weather (70-80 degrees), here...as opposed to the July weather, we had last week (over 100 degrees). Very Strange, though not unheard of, for Kansas. NOTHING is "unheard of" when in comes to weather, in Kansas! LOL And, the WIND here, lately, has been unrelenting, and very strong!! Not as bad (so far) today, though. I'll return you, to your local weather stations, now... CB Well, "Normal" turned into normal for March/early April. Had a cool snap, 50's & 60's...frost warnings, in the upper 1/2 of the state. So, we're all over the place, right now. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I guess I'm lucky to be in Los Angeles. Those fires out in the burbs are no joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 So Cal seems to have 3 seasons...Fire, Flood, and "Nice!" And, which one dominates, seems to vary from year to year. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser Bill Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Its 92 here in Fla. not sure what the humidity is, but I'd guess at least 30%. Wife keeps the house at 71. People wonder why I wear a sweatshirt in July... or sleep with an electric blanket. I'll tell ya... life ain't easy for a boy named.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 20 miles south of you, in Huntington Beach, less than 1 mile from the coast. Just got back from the store and the outside temp on my car thermometer said 99. Feels like it too. I'm a bigger fan of the "coastal climate" than this stuff. And yeah, sounds like a lot of San Diego County is on fire. Look out for a lot more with the drought we're in. Glad I don't live in a fire area, and best wishes to those that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvinator Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Here in north-western PA the temperature & humidity change drastically from day to day. It was 90 degrees a couple days ago; today it's 44! You never know how to dress - long underwear and a winter coat one day, and shorts and a wife-beater the next. I don't even bother putting the truss-rod covers on my Gibsons - frequent adjustments are necessary this time of year; in fact, I should probably just leave the wrenches on them too...

surfpup Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Wish I could send you some humidity! My house is 75 and humidity 56% according to my thermostat. Exterior humidity was 100% most of yesterday with lots of rain. Cooler today with a high of only 80 and 46% humidity. Very cool and dry for us this time of year. Soon it will be 85-90 every day with steambath humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Crap on a stick San Diego county looks bad on the CNN. Wiseguys in the comments section aside, and I'm one of them, I feel bad for the peoples out there. I hope the rain and some wind from the ocean brings some moisture. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
