Been a rough go in San Diego the past ~5 days. We're not set up to handle 95 degrees with only a small AC unit. Our house was up to 90 degrees INSIDE late afternoon yesterday. Luckily things improve by Wednesday.

I had an Insurance Inspection (Virtual) in the area and the person in Palm Desert, CA explained that the ambient temp was 110F. Oof. 

For you - Ensure you drink water with a touch of Sea or Himalayan Salt in it. Not even enough to even taste, but sweat takes a plethora of salt from the body. Electrolytes, including salt, must be replaced. Otherwise, the water will simply flow right through the body.

Interesting article on this one house that fell in a few years ago.  Turns out it was built behind dunes, in 1980, 430 feet to the shoreline.  The shoreline is marked below.

It's tempting to assign this to climate change, rising sea levels, etc. And not to say anything for or against those arguments. But that area of the coast was infamous for being difficult to impossible to map since the diacovery of the new world because it was constantly changing due to storms. There's a reason why there's so many shipwrecks there. Seems like a bad idea to build in a place where the geography is known to change like that. Losing 500 feet of shoreline was happening in this area during wooden ships era so well before man made climate change.
