Yea its gone from sweltering hot to just hot. 🙁

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Not much comfort to you that it's been even hotter in Phoenix, I presume.

Yea Phoenix has unearthly temperatures. Someone from there once told me it hit 142 degrees once.

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

That is unearthly. 😱
It was in the 80's there when it was still technically winter (mid-March) when I was there. 😀 😛

It's a good place to hide out during the brutal cold winters in the north, but ghastly hot in the summer.

Yes quite hot. I couldnt believe the 142 degrees. Man that is brutal. 😱

I hate to think what would happen in that heat if the A/C broke down. 😱

Probably have to call 911. 😱 I have experienced 135 degrees. I dont think I would like the 142 very much. 😛

I believe that the highest temperature I ever experienced was 115 degrees in Las Vegas in the summer of 1985. I didn't stay outside long once I felt that heat. 😱

Yea those kind of temperatures can wear you out fast.

And I got tired of hearing, "But it's dry heat." 😀 😛

Yea when you hit triple digits....dry or wet doesnt really matter much. LOL

It is not good to walk in that heat, not at all.

I agree. Heat stroke is a very real threat. Among other things. 😱

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, plenty of people get heat stroke there.

Yea happens here in the valley during the summer as well. 😱

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I didn't realize the Valley was so hot. 🙁

There are several valleys.

The San Fernando Valley

The San Gabriel Valley

The San Bernadino Valley.

The last two tend to run hotter. The ifrst one is the one I am in is hot but not quite as hot as the other two. 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Ah, thanks for the explanation. The San Gabriel Mountains are visible from Dodger Stadium. I guess the San Gabriel Valley is on the other side of them. 😀 😛

Yea I think so. 😀 Basically the further from the ocean you are in LA the hotter it is.

[milagros317]

Yes, I've been to Playa del Rey and it's quite cool there. 😀 😛
