I usually don't gripe too much about uncontrollables...but, oh God, is it hot here!!! Thought I'd start a thread for my fellow Angelenos (incl. our heroes @ JPL and of course HQ TPS) to vent just a bit; believe me, they need it.
Was told that today would be cooler...ain't seein' it.

If it's any consolation we have had a miserably cold and wet summer here in Sweden. The first snow fell in northern Sweden last week and southeasten Sweden recorded the lowest ever August temperatures.
At the momen it's 10 degrees centigrade outside, overcast and drizzling. It's only to be expected though, when it's cold in North America it's usually warm in Europe and the other way around. |

Do you want to wind up as roofer in Barstow in weather like this? Get going! -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Hey, LA isn't the only place that's hot. Here in Minnesota, it's early September and the reading from the outdoor sensor on my indoor/outdoor thermometer right now is 94.1 degrees F.
This is sort of ridiculous for this time of year in Minnesota. I know it's WAY ridiculous in LA, too. But you expect the occasional hot streak in CA going into September. You don't expect it at all here in MN... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

The UK spent most of the summer 6ft under water - it's been an odd year.

Tau here is 0.000...down to like fifty significant digits. That's the problem, no nice cool marine layer (aka June Gloom).
Gonna take EGD's advice & get out of here, though; my lousy AC just can't keep up with the heat. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Hot, HOT?
C'mon, you should take some vacations here at the sunny Spain to know what can be a hot summer. But to be fair, this one was quite nice. Here around Madrid we were above 40ºC just a few times, not the whole summer like last year or '05. |

Yeah, I'm a wimp, I admit it
...sounds pretty harsh, Tesh. Coming from a cold place, always found it easier to get warm when cold rather than vice versa. Right now, I'm about two stories underground & the AC is blasting...aaahhhh!!!!

Great .Now the local LA CBS news outlet is calling this "Heat Wave '07"...I'm totally tired of moving to places only to experience some sort of record-breaking weather...
 (No kidding; so far I've left tracks in New Jersey, Washington state, Georgia, and Alaska...will warn you all if I move again...)

QUOTE will warn you all if I move again... - thanks for the heads up!My dad escaped from Buffalo, NY leaving behind a large number of relatives. It seemed like every year they got snowed in for weeks at some point. They always sent us mugs: The Blizzard of '77, '78 and so on, hehe

Here in Tennessee, it has been over 90 for over a month with no breaks and has been over 100 for a lot of the time. And it hasn't rained. This is very unusual. I flew in yesterday, and it is strange looking down on this area in the summer and having it look, well, brown.
