One minute I am complaining we don't have a summer.  Next, that it's too Heathot.  But the heat complaint was short-lived because we actually didn't have a summer in Los Angeles.

Now it is beyond ridiculous.  108 near the beach on September 27th.  113 downtown L.A. is the HOTTEST EVER RECORDED there. 

A little sympathy please......  It's our turn now.

Jane, I caught the temps late last night for your area, and that is a touch painful. Could it be someone telling the LA party-goers to tone it down a bit?

ooo Jane I am so sorry you had a split second of really hot heat haha. It's like Cali had a few days of ridiculous heat all rolled into one..but really that is desert degrees out there.  I don't care what people say, global warming or not, either way the atmosphere on earth is changing (from the looks of it not in the best direction) Trying to be positive but realistic at the same time.

Carla,  unfortunately not one of those heatwaves where it cools off.  It was probably in the 80s last night.  Hopefully will be back to something normal tomorrow.  I remeber driving through the Valley one night around 8:00 p,m. and it was 104.

C,  summer in Florida.  Ouch.  The humidity is as high as the temps.

Craig,  it looks like the grid held out because I can imagine that a/c going 24/7.

Ed,  we do have a terrible rep don't we!

Laura,  this year was a great example of all's not well with the planet.

I hear ya Jane. We're finally getting the summer we never got, now that it's fall, and I promised not to complain.  So, inside working in the AC, and I'll knock off for a nice evening swim.  Stay cool!

Wow, Jane...."Hottest ever recorded!" That's not good and is deserving of some sympathy so you got it from Lake Charles where it is downright perfect fall weather. :)

Karen,  the pool sounds great.

Tammy,  I didn't hear you asking for sympathy.  Just ask and you shall receive :)

Carol,  cooler weather must be nice after the hot summer.

Mary Kay,  thank you kindly.  I will take it.

Hannah,  113 is definitely hot.  And it is humid too.  But it feels like it has broken now.

It was 106 today in Palo Alto according to my car.  I took my dog to the fountains at Stanford to cool off.
