Hello, again,
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Even though we live in Los Angeles, we are inland, cut off from the sea breezes by the Santa Monica Mountains, with the result that we are often 30 degrees F. warmer than on the immeidate coast, and often 15 degrees or more warmer than downtown Los Angeles, at the Civic Center.
After such a heat wave, at anywhere from 105 degrees to 109 degrees F, which is extreme for us, it takes days for the house to cool down. Sometimes in the morning, after having left all the windows open all night, it is still over 80 degrees F inside the house.
And as for the veggies and garden plants, since that is NOT our rainy season, they must be cared for with regular irrigation/watering.
Ron
