It's not just you. Monday turned out to be the hottest day ever recorded -- at least in downtown L.A. At 12:15 p.m., the weather station at USC hit the 113-degree mark, breaking the old all-time high of 112 set on June 26, 1990. It makes Monday the hottest day ever since records in downtown L.A. started being kept in 1877, said Stuart Seto of the National Weather Service. Seto said the record was impressive, "especially after such a cool summer." As of noon, Weather.com reported that Santa Monica had hit 106, West Hollywood was at 111, and Long Beach was at 107. The National Weather Service warned of extreme heat and red-flag fire dangers Monday. A small fire broke out in Ladera Heights but was quickly put out. Another small brush fire was contained Sunday night in South Pasadena. On the energy front, California consumers were expected to use more than 45,000 megawatts by peak afternoon hours, said Gregg Fishman, a spokesman for Cal-ISO, which coordinates power for 85% of the state's grid. Though the expected energy consumption was high for this time of year, increased usage was not expected to cause any serious problems, Fishman said. Still, Cal-ISO is recommending residents avoid using large appliances in the afternoon. And don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room, Fishman said. "Given the situation as we know it right now, we should be fine,'' he said. "But grid conditions are dynamic, and things can change."

Michigan registered the hottest summer since they started getting records this past summer and I concur with this conclusion.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
we set a record for 90+ days here in Virginia, it was 95 on Friday, 86 on Saturday.
Had a great growing season here. Tomatos the best in years and about two week out from harvesting 178 acres of what looks like a bumper crop of corn. What we don't need right now is rain. The moisture content in the corn is just where I like it and I hope it stays that way. May not even have to fired the dryer this year and that is a $$$ good thing.

So you're a farmer?
At least he's not a dick from Jerkwater USA.
No. I'm a fucking rabbi. oaf.

It was 117F at one point, in Riverside. I got out my pool cleaner, broke out a cold brew, and got to work... The grid was stable- no detectable fluctuations that might have affected my clients. It's all good. :)

This has been a cool summer in my area inspite of the recent little warming trend. I doubt this year will be renown as a great vintage year for wine grapes, as the bunches didn't pollinate and fill out properly and the coolness with nights getting down into the forties wasn't conducive to good grape formation. Right now they are hoping the warm weather raises the brix so that the harvest can begin in earnest.
BBBBBBWWWWAAAAHHHHHAAAAAA......your clients......stable grids......BBBBBBWWWWAAAAHHHHAAAAA!!!!....you are busting me up ya fucking bloviating dwarf-like gasbag:):):) I'll chalk this one up to your obvious case of heatstroke. Sheesh..... what a laughable caricature you've become.

Seriously. Some people farm part time and do other jobs. Just wanted a straight answer. Didn't know it was top secret.

Capitalist Erica must be a great chef. All the guys in the soup kitchen line all talk about how well he "TOSSES SALAD".
With his oars out of the water. You used three letters and captured the central notion to his problem. Impressive.
As usual, you make idiotic ASSumptions. WHY? Because YOU are an idiot.

We're bone dry in Kentucky and up until this past weekend unseasonably hot. Many lawns are mostly brown. We got a short heavy rainfall last Friday - it helped but was not nearly sufficient. The leaves are turning but not as colorful as usual; likely because of the dry summer.
We got about 3/4 of an inch here in Ohio yesterday. Sme thing though, brown crunchy grass, dry leaves. Good news is since July I've cut the grass once every three weeks, rather than once every six days. And that was only to cut the top off the crab grass.

Same here on mowing - very infrequent lately. We're dying for rain. I've heard of local 'no burn' rules in effect. And the local paper mentioned something about drought or near drought just last week.
Condition was switched to 'severe drought' last Friday here. We measure it by the waterfall on our property. By that measure, its not the worst we've seen since moving here in 2000, but its damn close. The irony is Ohio's second largest fair, the Brown county fair, opened yesterday during the first rain since late July.

My neighbor has the water hose on his garden right now. That is a rarity.
I think badeye is handing you an olive leaf, or whatever that is.

I was just thinking, and no it didn't hurt. Ask go65 who handed him his college degree on the stage/platform. go65 - is my memory still good or not?
I thought about watering the lawn inside the fence line...figured why bother, the dogs tear up the grass anyway. But I have been refilling the koi pond a couple of times a week.Wife thought we had a leak, nope, just 31 percent humidity and heat. I don't own an olive branch, btw...(laughing)

Yeah, the ponds around here are a major indicator of dry times in a wet county.
The White Oak is a major waterway through Brown County...its maybe another inch or two before its all just a series of ponds. Told my neighbor yesterday the only reason its running is cause the horse farms up stream provide...liquid.

Shit, I come back from meetings, my cookies have been reset, and I find you're still here? And then, looking at your post, it finally HIT me, why you keep following me from thread to thread, even forum to forum... Let's go through the list, shall we??? 1. Your fascination with "tossing salad," and your apparent problems accomplishing it. 2. Your undying love of Lindsey Graham, your hero and mentor. 3. Your extremely vocal expressions about how you hate gay men, yet can't quite seem to stop talking about them. 4. Your ascerbic comments that are posted 24x7, indicating you have no life, and are still cruising the 'net, looking for... "entertainment," shall we say...? It's all so clear, now.

don't get so uppity just cause you've got that new pool cleaning job, you started up with me and now it's time for payback. that's a good picture of you after the ass ramming you took at the county drunk tank, did someone put sand in bubba's KY jelly
