Yep. Roughly 3.5°F per 1000' or 7°C per 1000m. Unless you are in frikkin
California right now where there is an inversion layer trapping all this
GD smoke and making it a hellhole to live in. And I **AM** at 3000' MSL
at home (the contour line runs right through the garden).

You're at 3000 MSL but you are at 0' AGL. I'd just about bet that it feels
hotter at your house than some distance away where the air temp at that
altitude is the same but 3000' MSL is also 2500'AGL. Add to that the fact
that there is an inversion layer and the fact that you live in Calif and I
imagine it is pretty miserable where you live :-)
