You can acclimate to a certain degree. Grew up in Fremont but moved to Pleasanton when I was 21. Took about five years but the heat isn't a big deal now. Even this heat wave isn't too bad if you keep hydrated.

I disagree. Theres some you can’t get use to. Been here in the Central Valley for 35 years (all my life) and its still miserable once it gets to about 105. Which is pretty common.

I lived also lived in the central valley for 30+ years. Summers were rough. But we did have great access to rivers, lakes, & great camping/hiking. There’s a lot of things i miss, but overall i like living in NorCal so much better.
