   California doesn't get that hot, unless you live in the back country or   
   the desert. Lakeside is back country. However, during Santa Ana   
   conditions, the temps rise higher than Texas and that makes for an   
   offshore flow of very hot air. At least during those times, the smog level   
   goes to nill. If you live along the coast, you can look out to sea and see   
   what you've been breathing during the onshore flow periods.
