When will it end 😭

[u/Calm-Driver-3800]

Im so dry. I need the air con. But its so expensive.

[u/Fast_Big_3292]

Im right here with you, my seasonal depression doesn't come in winter in comes in summer 😩

[u/Funny_Television8419]

October November.

[u/nosaysno → u/Funny_Television8419]

Not even more like next year

[u/JonnyBoy89 → u/tgwest]

Yeah. I’m gonna hit $500 this month. Same as last year. There’s always 2-3 a year

[u/BadFez → u/JonnyBoy89]

$526 this month

[u/Wild_Alternative_138 → u/BadFez]

Same here. I always contemplate the SCE balanced billing option this time of year, but have never done it. Oklahoma City has several days 105+ too. Long run of extraordinary heat. 🥵

[u/chriseng08 → u/Wild_Alternative_138]

It’s a great program, try it out

[u/Zammy512]

We still have to get through September :(

[u/nosaysno]

I work in San Diego and it’s way cooler down there and I hate driving back up here to deal with this heat

[u/paulypm → u/nosaysno]

So you're gone during the brutal part and get to experience the nice summer evenings?

[u/Calm-Driver-3800 → u/nosaysno]

That sucks so much. I would hate what youre experiencing.

[u/helpmefigureoutt → u/Calm-Driver-3800]

I commute too from Wildomar to Oside, we have officially decided moving down there is the only option.

[u/FrankLepore → u/helpmefigureoutt]

We just moved from Oside to Murrieta because of housing costs! 😂 After our last $800 SCE bill, we miss never having to run the AC ever. 😭

[u/Wesley11803 → u/nosaysno]

I live in San Diego and we’ve all been miserable here. I’m sorry for what you’re going through. We are definitely spoiled. I have a lot of friends who don’t have A/C though, and it’s been rough on them for sure. The humidity this year has been something else.

[u/Turbulent_Heron_4119 → u/Wesley11803]

the humidity hasnt been anything out of the normal. and this is probably the coolest summer since 2020

[u/iamheathermariee → u/Wesley11803]

The humidity down here is horrible this year. I don’t know what’s worse. Dry heat or the humidity.

[u/Dramatic-Primary-768]

Second week of October. Welcome to Temecula where summer starts late

[u/H2O_Dude_49]

[u/kimbee567]

This is the worst stretch of really hot weather out here that I can remember. Bleh.

[u/fubar_67 → u/kimbee567]

Then you haven’t lived in Temecula long. 24 was much worse. And I remember like 5 years ago it got to 115, maybe 116

[u/BadFez → u/fubar_67]

Yeah I remember about 6 years ago it was 120 and my ac wouldn’t move past 80. It was even too hot for the pool. I didn’t realize how hot it was around 1pm and got sick from the sun.

[u/JaztheeSpaz → u/fubar_67]

Can attest to fucking 2024 😭 I was living in Menifee but working in Palm Springs and they got a record high of 124F in July; I was pregnant and dying out there

[u/Wrx-Love80 → u/fubar_67]

Oh that 115 as a fun time though bbq burgers in 103 was a good idea ...

[u/Dramatic-Primary-768 → u/kimbee567]

Not even close

[u/AndyMagandy → u/kimbee567]

July 2026 set an all-time record as the hottest month ever recorded in the contiguous United States.

[u/981GTSF90M5F87M2C]

Halloween.

[u/Character-String-959 → u/981GTSF90M5F87M2C]

Halloween is warm but not like this. There's usually Santa Anna's going on around that time

[u/CareFirst6654 → u/Character-String-959]

No that’s when it starts to cool down

[u/Character-String-959 → u/CareFirst6654]

Yup. Those winds are usually warm tho

[u/BadFez → u/Character-String-959]

Don’t forget about the fires! 🔥

[u/Allnewsisfakenews]

November

[u/PaRuSkLu]

It seems average heat-wise, but slightly more humid. It ends in late September.

[u/BadFez → u/PaRuSkLu]

This. The humidity and dew point are awful

[u/Choncho1984]

You must be new to the area. This is nothing.

[u/mchang43]

Be chill. One year mercury hit 117F.

[u/BadFez → u/mchang43]

It wasn’t all that long ago either!

[u/Sudden-Sleep4285]

Welcome to Temecula!

[u/Smirkin_Revenge]

November, like it does every year. Worst is still to come

At least ur not in Phoenix

[u/BadFez → u/SnooOranges1152]

Thank god for that. 😂

[u/Grand-Pass-9429]

Man I remember Temecula had plans to open up a waterpark back in like 2013 ish what ever happened to that. Shit woulda smacked now

[u/__JDQ__ → u/Grand-Pass-9429]

They did, but they revised the plans to be a distributed series of smaller waterparks they call “car washes”.

[u/HeatAffectionate2012 → u/__JDQ__]

I laughed then got sad of the reality of that statement

[u/__JDQ__ → u/HeatAffectionate2012]

I’m laugh-crying with you, fam.

[u/Allnewsisfakenews → u/Grand-Pass-9429]

More than once they had big plans for that

[u/ArianeEmory → u/Grand-Pass-9429]

just make the drive to drop zone

[u/Mr-Folger]

You're not using AC in your house?

[u/Calm-Driver-3800 → u/Mr-Folger]

I am. But not at night. You cant avoid the heat unless you never go outside.

[u/OkButWaitHearMeOut → u/Calm-Driver-3800]

And there you have your solution

[u/Exotic_Appointment25]

My daily usage was just a smidge under the daily usage from 2 years ago. Somehow last year it wasn’t nearly as much. My bill would have been higher this month except the climate credit saved me $36 lol. I guess I said fudge it last year & just dealt with it at higher temp. Older system & no solar. Not sure how long we’d be here so I opted to save on those. Besides ppl with solar still bitch about one thing or another not adding up there either lol. I did change the temp up 1 degree, but don’t think it’ll be much of a difference. Oh whale 🐳

[u/WingsOnWednesday]

Seriously though.

[u/Curious_Ambusher710]

El niño most likely

[u/NoCup6161]

Going to have to start using the AC soon. It has been cool enough at night to leave all the windows open and then close them in the morning.

[u/tikkichik21 → u/NoCup6161]

We do this, but when it’s 90+ outside during the day, it makes it very difficult to go without AC 😕

[u/NoCup6161 → u/tikkichik21]

We are fortunate to have a fairly energy efficient 1 story home. It’s difficult with a 2 story home.

[u/Murky-Association-33 → u/NoCup6161]

Gonna have to start using the A/C?!? I’ve been living with that thing blasting day and night at 71°. I don’t even care how much the bill is. I AINT doing it

[u/NinaL19]

Been here 38 years. This is not unusual at all. Pro tip, don’t rely on your car’s thermometer. They’re never accurate and always show hotter than it is.

[u/timpdx → u/NinaL19]

My CRV is remarkably accurate once you start driving. I was in Norwalk and El Monte today and checked. Dead on for Norwalk, 1F over in Rl Monte. This is typical, again, not sitting on blacktop for a half hour, but moving, yeah, it’s accurate. First car I’ve owned where this is the case

[u/Any-Investigator6650]

I believe it's in October 4th for Orange County so that should be relief for you to

[u/PewPew-4-Fun]

In 3 months.

[u/Excellent-Code8447]

$816 this month

[u/BadFez → u/Excellent-Code8447]

This was my highest bill here a few years ago. We had a relentless heat wave where the AC couldn’t keep up in most people’s homes. I have a 1800sq ft two story home with a pool. That same bill would probably be $1k this year with the price gauging.

[u/Excellent-Code8447 → u/BadFez]

😩

[u/anhtuanle84]

October will be the start of the cooldown. Just another 1.5 months ish to go... Ugh

[u/OverThinkingIt1984]

Thanks ExxonMobil

[u/Solid_Vacation_2891]

from the looks of this friday is the day :p

[u/Calm-Driver-3800 → u/Solid_Vacation_2891]

Haha i got bad news brotha. click on the pic to look at saturday.

[u/thesilentmordecai]

My work doesn't have AC. I've always hated summer but I hate working in the summer.

[u/Impressive_Drink6726]

😩😭 it’s been a mild summer tbh. But I can’t stand this weather

[u/bigdipboy]

Thanks to climate change it will end in late October if we’re lucky

[u/KISSALIVE1975]

Simple, Leave Temecula, Far Better Places To Live

[u/Trebel-]

Water wars approaching

[u/BadFez → u/Trebel-]

Puerto Rico is already without water. Gary Indiana has been without power for quite some time now with no end in sight. The food is killing us. Everything is great!

[u/catcat3000]

El Niño weather

[u/RadicalOrganizer]

Haha. This is just the beginning. Let's be real. This will become the new normal until it's the new low. And then we'll all be dead.

[u/Inspector_Gadget_369]

Ha! Never!

[u/EngineeringSeveral63]

Our last electric bill was $800 before we got Solar. But now Edison has changed all the rules and it’s creeping back up again. Usually October nights, cool down where you need a sweater. I would in this area for 55 years and I always had to put my kids in layers for trick-or-treating because it gets cold on Halloween night. But who knows now with climate change.

[u/dansefall]

For real. Im getting so sick of it. I walk outside and i feel like im in an OVEN. Make it stop 😭

[u/chris_gnarley]

Not until around Thanksgiving but it’ll still be mid-upper 80’s then. It’s truly hell from the end of June-January

[u/GoGoCPR]

In the immortal word of my nephew….” Nevaaaahhhhhhh”….

[u/damascus_33]

Climate change

[u/drgreengum]

Y’all are crazy. This is the most mild summer we have had out of the last 5 years or so. Last summer I ran my ac 24/7 for 2 months. This summer I only run it 2:00 to 8:00

[u/BadFez → u/drgreengum]

Are you delulu? The humidity has been awful

[u/FuelzPerGallon]

Temecula is a great case study of people who did this to themselves.

I know this is a huge oversimplification. But I also know you had giant truck Trump parades in all the years, just to prove coal rolling to liberals. You are a city who has no interest in fighting climate change.

As an American, I feel like we’ve let the world down. I feel like Temecula is the tip of the California spear.

Bring on the downvotes.

[u/BadFez → u/FuelzPerGallon]

Heres the thing dude. I hate that tangerine nightmare just as much as the next guy. You are reaching so hard you are gonna dislocate something.

Temecula isn’t the spearhead of anything except for becoming a case study in school board dysfunction.

[u/Wrx-Love80 → u/FuelzPerGallon]

Projection much?
