Its Blazing Here in Central California 109 degrees

Message Alert: Be Prepared !!!!  I have been using my window screens to block the sun, thinking about using some misters...????

Wow, 109 in early June.  OUCH!

Yea, its going down to a cool 99 degrees tomorrow. So I can get off the computer...LOL 

Be careful with the heat wave, Armando.

Thank You Norhayati, I am staying indoors using the air conditioner. So I am in a good situation. I have been keeping a good eye on my fig trees. Don't want them to Burn, Dry Out or Die.   Looked at them and they look good.

Hi Armando93223,
For 3 days, we are at 95°F / 35°C and it already is hardly bearable and of course with hard sun.
We here are not used to those temps - especially at this time of the year - , and most of the people don't have airco at home !
Well, I make it the Mediterranean way, find a lake and a shadowy spot and swim a bit - that works great on weekends.
Here we only have willows around the lakes, no figtrees :(
Yesterday, I only had time to water one smaller figtree that was beginning to wilt - so I had to. I'll have to rescue her and the others this evening ... or I may well loose the brebas and the forming maincrops !

JDFRANCE: In my Mind the Country of France seems to be 70 degrees year around.  I see travel programs on TV and they never bring up the topic of Heat.

Hi Armando93223,
Check the temps of eastern France between the 14th of July and 14th of August ... We hit 35° and more.
Paris last year was almost as hot .
But at this time of the year we should hit 25°C for the warmer days ... We hit 35°C for 3 days and we were supposed to get rain this evening... And still nothing !
I was able to water almost all my figtrees this evening, but the last ones I could not. I'll have to water them tomorrow, unless the great gardener works for me and sends rain this night ...

When I get Rich, I will stop by and visit you when its Cool...LOL   I would think the flights would be around 2000 dollars roundtrip...????

Armando, you can get to France for one kilobuck if buy the ticket in advance. It is hot in LA too :(
But it is the dry heat. We can go to 45C without many issues.

The heat index had us at 103 today. That is too damn hot for June. And the humidity was such that you got soaked with sweat just walking outside. I cannot wait for July and August.
