Long duration #heatwave expected Friday through early next week in California. Minimum temperatures in the low/mid 70s will provide little to no overnight relief to those without adequate cooling or hydration. Heat Advisories and Extreme Heat warnings for parts of central and southern California.
Warning of a prolonged late‑season California heat wave: text and color maps show major-to-extreme heat risk concentrated in Southern California and the Central Valley with peak temperatures in the 100s and safety guidance to stay hydrated and use cooling.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Plus we, as a society not individuals, financially rewarded the wrongdoers. US Government made the conscious decision to make rogue financiers whole over assisting the victims of their greed and theft. Using taxpayer funds that we all are required to contribute, no less. That tweaks the psyche.
