Swamp coolers are awesome, as long as the humidity isn't too high.

My worst heat memory:

Melbourne, Australia, 1968. 9th month of pregnancy. Riding to last Dr. checkup on diesel bus, NO A/C, windows only could open 4", stop-and-go city traffic. Temperature 114!!! (No A/C in houses either!)

Ditto from me! We have had rain this last week and a little bit of sun today. Suppose to be 87/88/this weekend then back into the 70s for next week.

Hope you can all stay cool!

It's been in the 100's for several days. I'll be so happy for low 90's or even 80'S. 80's -wow! it will seem downright cold!

The swamp coolers are awesome in the desert but on the coast they'll just make you more miserable.

I grew up across the river in Wood River, so I know what you mean. Hang in there!!
