Hot? All Is Not Lost

 Saturday afternoon in Sacramento: Air temperature is 107, heading to a forecasted 111.


Despite the heat, all is not lost if you can get up to the lake.

Saturday afternoon at Lake Tahoe: Water temperature near the shore is 66 - 70 degrees. Water temp in the middle of the lake is in the mid-50s. Jump in and swim down 10 feet, you'll likely hit water in the upper 40s. Do a deep dive the way "free divers" do, you might hit 39-degree water.


Bottom line: If you're boating well out into the lake, it's a good idea to just appreciate the cool air blowing over the water's surface. If you fall in, you will definitely cool off. Maybe too much... Probably too much...

Enjoy!
