It was getting crisp and cool at night. There were morning thunderstorms last week. We watched football broadcasts across the country talk about how Fall was in the brisk air.
And then yesterday happened. It cracked 100 in parts of Long Beach for a few minutes in the middle of the day, and it's doing so again today. Tomorrow's going to be almost as hot, and Wednesday is supposed to be even hotter before we get some reprieve in the LA basin. Where the heck did Autumn go?
Actually, remember this time last year? This exact week, even? It was just as hot, and I remember the gauge in my dash reading 107 as I came down Bellflower Blvd. So, while you may cry foul on global warming, just remember that this heat streak happened at exactly the same time last year....and then the real Fall finally started and we had a Windpocalypse.
Begin securing your trees...
