Monday breaks all-time temperature record in Los Angeles

[wtmusic]

"It was so hot Monday in downtown Los Angeles that the thermometer broke -- literally.

But don’t worry, the official National Weather Service thermometer was back up and running as of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, said weather service meteorologist Ryan Kittell.

The thermometer is part of a weather station in a grassy shaded area of the USC campus, and it is designed to work even during blackouts using battery backups. Monday’s record 113-degree heat, however, caused an electrical component to fail and cut off the station’s power supply, Kittell said."

Yesterday was weird too: sunshine then huge thunderheads & rainbow, freak thunderstorm. We never get rain in September.
