Vomiting, cramps and lethargy: As heat rises, kids are sweltering in schools with no A/C

[Retrograde]

1. Climate change

It used to be OK - late September - early October has usually been the hottest time of the year here in the Bay Area, but we'd' have 2-3 days in the high 90s or low 100s and then the marine layer would come in and cool things down. So far, we've had high temps since Monday, and more predicted for next week. And there have been several stretches of hot weather this summer.

I don't have AC, and it used to be OK because temps would drop at night. But I don't think schools - or people who live in apartments - can keep their windows open all night and get a good cross breeze to bring the inside temps down. Ideally, I'd like to see us build schools that are more in tune with their environments (i.e., what works in Bakersfield won't necessarily work by the coast) but we also need a shorter term solution
