Mark Twain once said, “The coldest winter I’ve ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco.”
I say, “The hottest summer I’ve ever spent was the summer I spent in the Bay Area.”
This past week, the Bay has experienced record high temperatures ranging from 90 to 110 degrees. According to SFGate, San Francisco reached a record high of 106 degrees.
As a Bay Area native, this was torturously disgusting. Words could not even describe how hot it was.
San Francisco’s autumn is described as an Indian Summer; the summer is cold and the fall is super hot. The fall temperatures normally range from 75 to 95 degrees depending on what part of the Bay you live in.
This year was different; this year was an oven. I can’t handle the heat so, I stayed out of the kitchen and packed my bags for Oregon during Labor Day weekend. However, I still encountered heat and suffered. Please enjoy the following memes and gifs about dealing with the heat wave.
