Here in Ventura County, in sunny SoCal we have these things called Santa Anas, which are hot (90+ deg), fierce (50-90 mph), east winds that have triggered epic fires in the past. This year we are experiencing an “atmospheric river”, bringing epic rains, but in the past we’ve had repeated Santa Anas, which would lead us to wish for summer when it would be cooler. One year (2016 or thereabouts), the hottest day in January (90+) was hotter than the hottest day in August! We SoCalifornians aren’t as foolish as the fellow in the comic—we fire up the grill and have a picnic … or go surfing!
