I'm melting, I'm melting!

[rachelmanija]

Just checked the weather to see if it's really an oven in here, or if I'm just being a wimp. Los Angeles just broke its record for heat - 113 degrees fondly Fahrenheit!

Apparently the heat fried the collective brain of the Associated Press, as it writes, "It's a departure welcomed by many after an unusually cool and foggy summer."

Not by me! I'm taking my toys and going somewhere air-conditioned. (Sadly not my apartment.) I bet my cats are happy I've been Furminating them to remove their winter coats.

Welcomed!? I have loved our cool and overcast summer (not loved the humidity so much). I am melting and the fan is only blowing hot air on me. D:

113? UGH. It's 84 92 here and I'm cursing.

Wow, my sympathies. We had a lot of 100+ days this summer, but I don't think we ever went over 108. Right now fall has set in and we are having highs in the mid-70s.

Ahaha, Bester ref, ILU.

I'm sorry! Sending virtual icecubes.

"It's a departure welcomed by many after an unusually cool and foggy summer."

Good lord. No one anywhere "welcomes" 113 degrees. No one.

Yeah, I was running a planning meeting in our Long Beach office and ended up just canceling the thing after 10 mins becuase everyone was so heat-melted (apparently the A/C wasn't keeping up). Glad I'm not down there this week! Good luck on the A/C search.

Wtf?? What are you people doing over there? It's not even summer anymore!

Also - *hugs* - your apartment is not AC'd??? I am concerned about this.

Eep -- 113F is too damn hot, even for Tucson. Sheesh.

Go find a/c and drink lots of liquids. In a relaxing way. Where there is a/c.

Yikes! We've finally had a cool snap - 75F today.

I liked our cold summer! This weather is crazy-making.

Your pain, I feels it. It was 111 here today.

HA HA. HA. What.

I keep hearing people that that it's been a 'cool summer', and I keep wondering what those people are smoking. It certainly hasn't been a cool summer from where I'm standing.

He doesn't know which of us I am these days, but they know one truth: 113 degrees is damn hot.

I was in Scottsdale once in July (on purpose, even) and it was that hot, and I pretty much refused to go outside in the daytime. I imagine it's even worse in LA where it's more humid.

It was cool and overcast all summer down here too -- at campus today everyone was noting that we got the first week of classes and the first day of summer *on the same day*!

But it's only been like... 90s. 113 just sounds like ooooog.

Now thats dangerous. It was hot here, but the bad part was the stupid dew point. It got up to 74. even AC didn't help much. But then again, I got the AC for my animals, so they enjoyed it.
