Humidity has reached Florida-like levels in Southern California.
Dew points have soared into the mid-to-upper 70s along the San Diego coastline, with a dew point of 79°F recorded in Carlsbad on Friday. This is considered "oppressive" to downright "miserable" humidity.
If confirmed, the 79°F dew point in Carlsbad would likely be one of the highest ever recorded along the California coast.
Water temperatures reached nearly 77°F off La Jolla yesterday evening.

@focusfronting Once a student requested a zoom call during Spring Break, which I found odd, but he was behind on coursework so I agreed. I kid you not, he joined the call from a windy beach in Florida and I could hear co-ed shenanigans going on in the background. Zoom meeting gone wild.
@kkthomason My summer students agreed with your view for the most part, although some gravitated towards Aristotle's cultivated emotional saint tradition. (Not the Lowly Worm! 😅)
Going to spend some time on envy and Schadenfreude in the fall.
