Temperatures in the 90s and low 100s in the inland areas are not unusual in August and September, nor is the increased humidity from the occasional tropical storms or hurricanes out in the Pacific.
In fact in a way it’s kind of nice to have some normal hot weather when it normally can be hot during a time when not much is normal.
When you have to have your temperature taken when you go into many offices and stores. And when you have to wear a face mask when going almost anywhere.And when you can’t hug, shake hands or even high five.
