HOW HOT IS IT!!!





Temperature 99 degrees at 6:22 feels like 104 degrees.




The next 7 days call for HOT! And only a 20% chance of showers AT THE MOST!

Our run started this AM at 5:30 with the temperature at 78 degrees and the humidity 90+ %. WHOA- HOT!

Our hot and humid weather has started REALLY early this year in North LA! Usually it is late July and August before we are suffering from severe drought and SUPER hot temperatures.

Let me give you a brief description of the consequences of these hot temps-your sweat starts at the top of your head and you feel the rivers of perspiration running down your back all the way down the back of your legs and into your shoes. Before our run is over, you begin to hear the squish in your shoes from all the sweat. The salt that is left on your skin from all the sweating leads to chaffing in all the places where your clothes are tight and there is friction.

You step outside your door and the oppressive heat slaps you in the face and takes your breath away. As soon as you open the door the beads of sweat form on your forehead and upper lip. There is NO ESCAPE!

I am certain all the "Global Warming" cheerleaders are THRILLED with the weather we are enduring. They think it proves them right. I personally am a believer in Weather Cycles. I remember as a young girl enduring hot summers not unlike these. What is your theory-Global Warming or Weather Cycles or something else?

Oh my goodness, am I sure we want to move back to that heat?
