Los Angeles Scorching Hot (Record 113°!) Today

The Other Half sent me this picture from inside his car reading the external temperature outside at aruond 1:30pm PDT today. 117 degrees!

The official temperature in downtown Los Angeles was 113 degrees, the hottest ever since records began in 1877. That's a full seven degrees hotter than the previous record for September 27th set in 1963.

The National Weather Service it has only ever been over 100 degrees 3 other times in downtown Los Angeles.

Hail In L.A. (Dude, What Happened Last Night?)




I did hear a tremendous racket last night but was too groggy/sleepy to figure out what it was ("Wow, that rain is coming down hard," I thought) and went back to sleep. When I went outside to pick up the morning paper I caught these pictures of hail outside my home in northeast Los
Angeles (less than 5 miles from downtown L.A.).
