swelter

Some workers continue to swelter.

Some workers interviewed by The Times said they continue to swelter.

But the Central Valley and southeastern California light up like a summer fireworks show when it comes to energy-impacting heat days, the report shows — meaning many people in those areas could suffer from power outages and swelter without air conditioning or other forms of relief.

They swelter at summer temperatures that eclipse the city average by 8 degrees Fahrenheit and the Catalina Foothills by 12 degrees.

People labor six days a week in the tropical swelter, through torrential rains and under the punishing sun.
