Where I live this is likely the hottest day

The prediction is 88 degrees Fahrenheit today. If you have an air conditioner that doesn't seem very high. However, where I live no one at all has an air conditioner but some might after today. Today likely is the very hottest day of the year for where I live on the Northern California coast and I worry for older residents here without air conditioners if they have health issues. I heard the sirens of ambulances a lot yesterday too. But, today is only about a degree or more above yesterday.

Last night I had set my hot tub down to 85 degrees which would have been great during the day. Normally I never set it below 96 degrees which is about where you can get cold (at any temperature below about 80 when the sun isn't out if you stay in an hour or more. However, I made a mistake because I stayed in an hour at 85 degrees as it was getting dark even though I raised the thermometer up to 98 degrees which is my favorite temperature unless it is cold (under 59 degrees Fahrenheit out) and then sometimes I raise it to 99 or 100 or even 101 degrees. So, it can be raining or even hailing and I'm comfortable outside in my hot tub 365 days a year and listening to the birds, writing on my computer or just meditating and calming myself down after a hectic day.

Anyway, setting my hot tub down to 85 degrees and then getting in was kind of a mistake because it couldn't warm up fast enough and I cooled down my core temperature too much. I was busy thinking and didn't realize how cold I had gotten in my core. However, as soon as I walked inside my house I realized it wasn't really a problem because the heat was so high from the sun during the day. So, I felt sort of foolish worrying about being too cold in my core because the temperature in my house was too high for me to get hypothermic like it would be another time of the year.

Note: as a mountain climber all my life I have had to learn and deal with hypothermia a lot especially at higher altitudes where heat will just shoot out the top of your head if it isn't covered with a wool hat or hood of some sort. So, I can recognize the symptoms of hypothermia coming on. However, when I almost froze to death in December 1970 on Mt. Shasta I lost a lot of my heat awareness in my body and my joints all hurt for about 3 or 4 years then. So, ever since I have to be very disciplined about being aware of how much heat is shooting out the top of my head and to be aware if I'm in trouble regarding my core temperature being either too hot or too cold. And sometimes I'm not aware of it until it is almost too late and I'm going to pass out from being too hot or hallucinate from being   too cold.
