@farmerman,
We live in Sunnyvale which is closer to the coast, and we get the breeze blowing in from San Francisco, because the bay stretches down almost all the way down our way. We're in a valley between two mountain ranges between SF and San Jose.
I lived in Sacramento for most of my childhood, and we used to work out on the farms during the summer months. All my siblings still live in the valley between Sacramento and Elk Grove. All close by highway 5. I remember harvesting hops when it was close to 115 degrees. We used to sit in the shade often, because we rode on crow's nest on the back of flatbeds cutting down the hop vines in the hot sun.
Those experiences made us motivated to get a college degree. LOL
