I don't remember it being that hot, but I'd been living in L.A. before then, so probably in comparison it was pleasant. I do remember sleeping with the door to the deck open at night (28th floor) but I always have to have a window open. I suppose that would change if I lived someplace like Buffalo.

SF, even though the temp never got as high, always felt hotter on hot days because the humidity level there is high. Now we are starting to get humid days in LA (for the past decade), and that really sucks. The dry heat was one of the good things about this place. It's still dry during those Santa Ana conditions, but the rest of the time it's not.
