Even in the Sunset district, it was crazy hot. Around 80ish degrees, if memory serves me right.

[–]doS2wo 3 points4 points ago

Weather forecasts said it hit 89 degrees. I'm not sure in which district, but that's still absurd heat.

[–]cocacola111 6 points7 points ago

90+ in Marin.

[–]hullokoala 3 points4 points ago

Gah, it was brutal. It's still pretty warm at 1030.

[–]amadea56 1 point2 points ago

Marin gets way hotter than San Francisco.

[–]atomicthumbs 1 point2 points ago

I was up hiking the night before last and it was still shorts-and-t-shirt warm at 4:00 AM here. I think that now that autumn's arrived, summer has gone for a do-over.

[–]budgie 14 points15 points ago

The temperature is too damn high!

[–]WhitemanJohnson 5 points6 points ago

It hasn't rained in over 4 months! (I don't count hour-long sprinkles)

[–]kalarax 2 points3 points ago

They said it might rain later this week! I really hope it does :)

[–]dboy999 23 points24 points ago

jesus christ, natives arent built for this shit. i hate indian summers. yes, it was/is beautiful and it allows for so many activities and whatnot....but its so hot.

edit:

just to say one more thing: to all these people commenting "oh im from so and so, this is nothing, try living there for a while", eat a dick. if you dont mind the heat, hell if you like it, whyd you move here? San Francisco is constantly in a state of cool weather (thus were used to it), not counting this time of year for us, so it fucking sucks. especially for those of us who grew up here. just one more reason for me to look at transplants and think one thing.....assholes.

[–]amadea56 4 points5 points ago

I couldn't agree more, I got out of the movies at 10pm tonight and it was still hot outside. It felt weird to not need my sweatshirt.

[–]kousi 0 points1 point ago

Soooo it happens every year, but you're not used to it?

[–]dboy999 4 points5 points ago

it happens every year for a few days spread over a few weeks. thats hardly enough time to get used to it.

[–]mipeirong 1 point2 points ago

Also couldn't agree more with everything -- especially the last part.

Burning up as I type this!

[–]surrealhamper 7 points8 points ago

Wow. Apparently you haven't been to the rest of California much.

[–]baddox 10 points11 points ago

You mean those places that have air conditioning?

[–]slomotion 3 points4 points ago

Yep, those places with air-conditioning which means 85 degrees indoors, and 102 degrees outdoors.

[–]mipeirong 2 points3 points ago

85 indoors with AC blowing is much better than 83 indoors with no air blowing anywhere.

I've lived in Oklahoma on 115 and humid summer days, and the house felt like I was ice bathing while the meter read 89 degrees

[–]amadea56 0 points1 point ago

We're not in Oklahoma anymore.

[–]mipeirong 1 point2 points ago

You sure? Beginning to feel like it _^

[–]slomotion 1 point2 points ago

True to a certain extent... I still think whining about <90 degree weather is ridiculous

[–]mipeirong 1 point2 points ago

When people live their whole lives in the SF, they don't experience 90+ weather. Just because YOU have lived in places with continental climates, doesn't mean everyone has. I can say something like "I don't understand people complain about lack of parking." Just because I've lived in SF and know the ins and outs of the city and can find quick parking most of the time, it's a legitimate complaint and I respect their suffering :)

[–]mcgaggen 4 points5 points ago

man, you're right. winter in tahoe? feels like you're in a frying pan.

[–]Nifarious 2 points3 points ago

I believe there was some context to the above statement...

[–]BigJeffyStyle 1 point2 points ago

As a recent transplant from Illinois, where it can be 105 with 90% humidity, it was pretty nice out today.

[–]shellieC 3 points4 points ago

As a native Texan, it was nice not having to wear a jacket for a change.

[–]bascule -2 points-1 points ago

Afraid I can't match the humidity, only the temperature, but yeah, coming from a land of 100F+ summers, WTF @ people freaking out about it being < 90F

[–]BigJeffyStyle 1 point2 points ago

I laughed out loud when the news came on and the anchor was talking about how people in SF are "beating the heat."

What heat?

[–]amadea56 5 points6 points ago

When you live somewhere where it NEVER reaches even 75 the entire year and one day all of a sudden its 90+, it's shocking.

[–]frogfrog 2 points3 points ago

Weather.com says the high in sf was 78 today. Not gonna lie that is baby level heat. Go inland why dontcha and meet the 100 degrees.

[–]doS2wo 5 points6 points ago

Hm... Well, a quick Google search says that SF reached a blistering high of 94 degrees today. Here's a snapshot.

[–]frogfrog -1 points0 points ago

I took the liberty of double checking various weather websites and some do report 90s but I also have to point out you searched for a forecast which is quite potentially not a report of what has happened. I don't know which ones are accurate anymore and have no way of figuring out either. I still strongly suspect those were just forecasts based on conversation with friends although they might be skewed.

Edit:

Searching more thoroughly of the links google uses as sources for those, none of them report a high of 94 today. That is most definitely just a forecast that did not come true as far as those sources report.

Edit Edit:

I'm too fucking tired, looking through I realize now that the graphs I was looking at were spaced too far apart. Weather.com can probably still be wrong. My bad guys I give up I have no idea who is right

[–]qsoc 1 point2 points ago

Several of the weather stations on wunderground reported highs in the mid-90s. For example, see the Castro/Eureka Valley station. It showed a high of 92.8 on Monday. I don't know how accurate it is, but if you click around to other stations in the area, you see similar numbers.

[–]doS2wo 0 points1 point ago

I will gracefully take this opportunity to be proven wrong, then. Great comment!

[–]frogfrog 0 points1 point ago

Actually I'm gonna take this opportunity to realize I was reading the graphs wrong and weather.com can still be wrong while you are right. I have no clue at this point how to tell. Most likely you are right since more point to 90 some. Too tired I guess my bad.

[–]amadea56 -1 points0 points ago

It was at least 90 in Potrero Hill today. Fuck it was hot.

[–]Casper92 0 points1 point ago

North Beach had excellent weather today. It was warm, but not too warm, if you catch my drift

[–]DMercenary 1 point2 points ago

Got real dehydrated today. MY bpm was out of control. Was like 120.

[–]lovsicfrs 0 points1 point ago

Ingleside has not been this hot in forever. I don't even want to leave the house

[–]hotforhautbois 0 points1 point ago

I'm from the northwest. Am I going to die of heatstroke?

Or does the fog come back soon?

[–]floopelian 0 points1 point ago

Dude I was exactly feeling that as I was walking home from school. The miracle of finding Iced Coffee for me in the fridge makes me believe that there is a God.

[–]dclowd9901 -5 points-4 points ago

As a recent transplant from Phoenix: Quit whining, you fucking pussies.

[–]Atario 6 points7 points ago

Reminder: today is October 1

[–]adrianmonk 0 points1 point ago

So, as a guy from another place where it's seriously hot (Texas), October 1st doesn't actually mean much. The hottest part of the year there is often the first 1 or 2 weeks of September. (For example, once, right after Labor day -- September 5, 2000 to be exact -- I wondered why I felt so hot carrying a backpack full of textbooks. Then I checked the weather and learned it was because it was 112F that afternoon.)

So, according to what's normal for some people, October isn't the hottest part of the year, but it's only like 3 weeks from the hottest part of the year.

[–]baddox 4 points5 points ago

Isn't Phoenix one of those cities where you have air conditioners?

[–]dclowd9901 -1 points0 points ago

Yes, but it's also one of those cities where you can get heat exhaustion sitting in the shade in late August.

[–]kalarax -1 points0 points ago

Recently moved from Austraila, I'm with you dude. Wish I had left my jacket at home though, didn't need it today :(

[–]JulietteStray -4 points-3 points ago

This weather is unbearably excruciating. It wasn't as bad as some of our recent (within ~5 years) heatwaves, but it's BAD. I live in the Mission, so I'm treated to pretty much the hottest and sunniest heat in the City, and as an added bonus my room is painted darkly and has giant bay windows facing the west. Even with a ceiling and a floor fan on, and circulation, and the windows wide open, it occasionally crawls to ~115. Today it was 89. Not pleased.

[–]DMercenary 6 points7 points ago

San Francisco. We have two modes:

JESUS CHRIST ITS HOT.

and

FOG.

[–]JulietteStray 1 point2 points ago

Yeah. I have it on apparently good authority that we're whiny little bitches for complaining about the heat, though.

[–]dirtyphilfrmsandiego 2 points3 points ago

It crawls to 115? what..?

[–]JulietteStray 1 point2 points ago

With the giant almost full-wall bay windows and living in the Mission, yep. It has been so hot I've come close to throwing up.
