Thank you for your dedication. Retired, and on vacation, yet still “working”.

[@sierrafoothillslife4246]

Many thanks Mark. We truly appreciate your dedication to keeping us informed particularly during extreme weather events. 👍

Good morning, Mark and fellow weather watchers. Already at 8 am, it's 76° at the Orchard Cottage Weather Center, in Oakdale, Ca. In my Bakersfield days we have had many Julys of 10 or more days of 100° days in a row. In 1968, I remember 15 days in a row. Many times if could still be 90° at 10 pm. This week all of their low temperatures will be in the 80s. Here in Oakdale our lows will be in the 70s. Bill

[@EricandMichaelAstacaan-Butler]

Thanks, Mark! Appreciate the update.....but the blank display on the thermostat behind you is mocking us! 😂Our A/C is on already at 8:30 am in Sacramento.

Today is Friday Mark, 7/5 and as you know the heat spell continues and continues. Oh my gosh it’s been years since we’ve had a run of heat spells like this. I miss your giving statistics on KCRA.

[@katiestonebraker1410]

Have a nice vacation

[@maxcleveland3446]

While you are over there, get ye to Mt. Washington and visit the WX station. 🚂🌬️

[@melissaj1881]

Western Yolo cooled off to 86.

[@AwaitingHisComing.]

*I am forecasting...102...here on my weather station here in (South) San Jose, Ca.*
*Please know that San Jose Airport's "forecasted temperatures" are about 5 to 7 degrees*
*cooler than my (South) San Jose area about 99% of the time.*
*Why is this...,?? -- Because they built San Jose Airport only 2 to 3 miles away from the Bay Water.*
*But I happened to be a good 15 miles away from the (cooling affect) of the Bay..* 😁
*So,,, when ever you hear them say, "San Jose will be 97 degrees today."' That is NOT for All of San Jose.*
*They are only speaking about San Jose Airport.*

[@paulditzen2708]

Just out of curiosity, do you happen to know what the record is for consecutive days in excess of 100 for Sacramento?? According to the various apps I've looked at, and we know they're never wrong ha ha, it looks like the whole first half of July is going to be over 100 every day.

[@lauracochran3213]

👍

[@carontheroad]

Tomatoes are ripening fast now. Peppers love this heat. I do not.😂

[@undersixty]

Thanks Mr. Finan. Enjoy your retirement.

[@nuxboxen]

Mark if you had of built a nice 4k workflow with reasonable room lighting.... and a little more love put into the vacation shots... you'd be at 100k subs rather then 10k. But there's no better time to take this seriously then now.

[@markfinanweather]

Great suggestion!

[@VickiWicks-vo7pz]

I noticed there was no breeze this morning compared to yesterday morning, here in Granite Bay. I heard the longest consecutive days of 100+ was 11 days in 1890ish. Guess they had global warming as well🤷🏼‍♀️. Hey, I haven’t seen any vacation pictures🤭😉

[@PrecursorLegend]

There’s a chance that the record number of consecutive days at or above 110 could be broken though.
