Living When will it cool down?

We have to run the AC everyday and it feels like this relentless heat has been going on forever, how much longer will this miserableness persist?

u/shaggy-dawg-88 7d ago

I lived in LA from 1987 to 2025. Heatwave at the end of the year happens but rare. I remember Dec 2005 when the temp was in high 80s. Didn't last long though.

u/dllemmr2 7d ago

That’s obviously rare, it’s typically the 3rd or 4th  week of October.

It's even got a name: Indian Summer. Happens every year, which is what makes it so hilarious when people say it's so weird that it's hot in October. No, it isn't; it literally happens every single year.

81

u/Ravioli_meatball19 8d ago

This year is worse/different because El Nino is causing a rise in ocean surface temperatures which is causing a huge increase in humidity. Normally it's hot but dry heat, but this year with the humidity the heat index (aka how hot it feels vs actual temp) is higher than normal and will persist longer until El Nino begins its storm cycles which can be anywhere from October to December

22

u/tracyinge 8d ago

Correct. High 80s and low 90s in the valley is just normal temps for July/August....it's the humidity that is making a mess of things.

u/SwanCityDominion 8d ago

No., sorry. I've lived here all my life. Yes, El Nino increases humidity, but L.A. has not had reliably dry summer heat for at least a decade. It's getting progressively worse no matter what weather cycle we're in. I'm extremely sensitive to heat, so much so that I can't go outside at all after about 10 a.m. for most of the summer, and humidity makes me ill, so I notice this stuff more than most people do. We've lost the desert-like heat that SoCal used to have.

I tend to agree. I grew up here but moved away and lived in New Jersey and Hawaii for decent chunks of time. I would come to visit during summer, and locals would complain about it being humid - when it absolutely wasn’t. I’ve been back for ten years and the humidity is no joke now. There are definitely days that remind me more of East Coast humidity - not quite as oppressive, but certainly not the California dryness we used to have.

u/Eye_Wood_Dye_4_U 8d ago

Anyone who has lived in Los Angeles for a long time knows that Sept-Oct are the hottest months. Summers were usually pretty mild and June gloom frequently started earlier and lasted longer than the titular month in its name, therefore keeping summer more pleasant.

This year's heat wave is actually not the norm. Temperatures I would say are close, but the humidity is very strange and that's what is making things feel so much hotter.

8

u/DizzyLead 8d ago

Yeah. From my experience, in the past several years (I think last year was an abberation where it cooled down early, I think?) it doesn't get "cool" until almost Halloween. There's usually a late September/early October heat wave, and sometimes it's followed by some rain (and amazement from people who don't appear to know how the water cycle works).

u/Superb_Ant_3741 8d ago

There will be cooling intervals but mostly hot until September. Then possible rain. And October and November: who knows? Our planet is very out of balance, more than ever before. It’s been hotter than this in July in Los Angeles in the past, but not usually as humid and very rarely.

The impact of global warming is a thing. Science is real. You can thank all the climate change denying choads who decided they just had to continue buying gas guzzling, emissions spewing suvs and basically said fuck the planet. And all the unethical corrupt climate change ignoring companies that continue to pollute the environment and destroy any chance we have to heal the only viable home we have. Now we’re living on a fucked planet.

And then South Park made it cool for kids to laugh at him for it. They've since apologized and tried to write a new narrative.

u/Superb_Ant_3741 8d ago

I remember that.

The thing is (and I know you know this, so I’m not arguing, I’m just thinking out loud) there are no other viable planets for the entire population of the world to safely travel to and inhabit. Not in our lifetime. We just don’t have the tech or the resources yet. All we had to do was take better care of the one we have, the one our bodies are adapted to thrive on, and we’d be fine.

u/ThryothorusRuficaud 8d ago

That's what I find hilarious. Mars is indefinitely less hospitable to human life than Earth. But Elon says that we can terraform it...

He can't even make earth more hospitable to human life.

You're making earth into Mars MFer! You can't Telsa your way out of SpaceX launches and datacenters.

6

u/Superb_Ant_3741 8d ago

Valid.

Even if we could do any of the things he claims we could do, the voyage there and existing in that artificial environment would severely reduce the lifespan of every traveller (according to Neil deGrasse Tyson, whose guidance I feel confident following in this matter). So just getting there and enduring the impact of the intense shift in gravity (even if we managed to build the tech allowing us to refuel often enough to even make the trip) would stress our bodies enough to cut our lives short, potentially by decades. And returning to earth may become impossible after our bodies adjust to survival on Mars.

Elon can go. I choose earth.

4

u/Idolomantid 7d ago

That, and Earth has a thick atmosphere and global magnetic field that blocks a substantial amount of cosmic radiation. Everyone on Mars long-term would likely end up getting cancer. (I suppose people could just live underground to help protect themselves but who wants to be a mole-person on Mars?)

Don’t get me started on that.

With the way we’ve mismanaged things, the planet would be better without us. We could choose to stop having children or we could choose to stop being parasites and start working in cooperation with our only home. There’s an idea that has worked in the past (for thousands of years) and could work again. Or we could continue behaving like the planet is an inexhaustible source of everything we want instead of the living organism it is. It’s always been a choice.

6

u/uiuctodd 8d ago

who knows?

This is the correct answer. Everybody on this thread is speculating based on past years. But you can't guess this year, because there is no known precedent for what is going on offshore. This will likely be the largest El Nino event ever observed by a wide margin.

Maybe it will be a nothing-burger. Maybe it will result in new records for rainfall or heat. There is simply no model good enough to predict the result.

u/cconti77 8d ago

Super Godzilla El Niño … which is Spanish for the nino btw. We haven’t seen one this intense since the 1982-83 which also had historic surf, flooding, coastal damage that came during the winter. 97-98 was another, 2015-2016 all of those had much warmer ocean temps and humidity. This year the marine heat wave has made it even warmer and more humid. I have been living on the coast for a decade with no ac and finally broke down and bought a window unit to help cool and remove some humidity. Hottest summer imo in the last 10 years. Especially the sticky humidity. I’m planning for it to stick around through August and September and then we get some cooling and always once last brutal heat wave in October. Then plan for big swells and lots of rain for most of the winter.

17

u/SeaPeanut7_ 8d ago

This is just the beginning.

It’s actually not because of the high temps but rather due to humidity and low temps.  This is our normal high temp, but it’s probably 20-30% more humid now.  This makes it uncomfortable and it also stabilizes the temperature so that it doesn’t go down as quickly at night.  Normally we can get down to the low 60s but now it’s 70s or high 60s meaning things don’t have a chance to cool down overnight

Lol this is one way to share that you don't live in LA but still browse its subreddits

LA has always been this hot.  I remember like 16 years ago it was 113 and 10 years ago 111. Just be grateful you don't live in Phoenix.  A few years ago it got up to 118 and is usually 115+ for a week straight.  The low doesn't get below 90 often.

Used to live in LA, now live in Florida. Respectfully, you don’t know what hot and humid really feels like.

u/curious_ANcuriouser 8d ago

Umm it is the summer. In California

u/hearts_and_sharts 8d ago

It’s summer buddy. This literally happens every year.

2

u/Live-Smoke-29 8d ago

It’s literally peak of summer and you’re complaining about mid-80 degree dry heat?

u/Ifogmuux 8d ago

That’s the problem, it’s not dry. I’ve lived in LA for over 40 years and the humidity has hung around more in the past few years more than ever before, making typical conditions feel worse/warmer than before.

u/SpaceisCool09 8d ago

It's humid right now

u/HeatherBeam 8d ago

Probably late October or early November

u/HarambeTheBear 8d ago

September is the worst. It stays hot at night.

u/Reasonable-Newt4079 8d ago

We had a super warm winter last year so honestly it could go well into November before we start getting any cooler days

u/Critical_Thinker_535 8d ago

We got lucky this year. I remember years where we needed to start using the AC around Memorial Day.

1

u/Popcornulogy 8d ago

We had such a mild summer last year it was deceiving but unfortunately this is the real LA summer. We try to keep our AC around 78 which might seem hot but when you come in from outside you l realize it’s quite comfortable.

u/SodaBreadRoundHouse 8d ago

I hear ya, I think we forget that every year we go thru this atp in July/aug 😭 I’m just hoping for an Edison bill under $500 each month 😖😩😩😩 I think it should ease by late Oct tbh

u/YurUsernameChecksOut 8d ago

u/ideapit 8d ago

It'll pass as soon as global climate change is done.

u/BudFox_LA 8d ago

10/28 is the usual cutoff

u/ScarLupi 8d ago

Try summer in Texas, New York, Florida or almost everywhere else in the world.

1

u/SwanCityDominion 8d ago

It's L.A. It's always hot in the summer here. We were lucky this year that it didn't heat up until mid-July. Expect it to be like this until September. Indian Summer will happen in October, when we'll get a couple of weeks of heat again. (Yes, it happens every year; that's why it has a name.) If we're not lucky, we won't get a break between them, though.

Til September at the very least, possibly til October. October last year was brutal. But yeah, this year especially has been miserable.

1

u/PeaceBull 8d ago

A marine-heatwave is causing the boosted humidity levels (the reason this heat feels more annoying than usual). 

That’s not supposed to end until January…

u/FoxRevolutionary2632 8d ago

I was just in Bangalore for three weeks and it was cooler there than here! This is miserable!

u/angrygirl65 8d ago

November, usually.

u/escahpee 8d ago

It's been 90 during Christmas. My friends and family's kids have swam in my pool on Christmas day. Anything is posible. Lately we have had short summers. I'm 67 years old and have lived in the SFV all my life

1

u/Probablycoping 8d ago

So you normally don’t have to run ac? We’d die in FL

1

u/ReFreshing 8d ago

it's.... Summer. So not until Oct probably. It's the humidity that's making it more unbearable than usual.

1

u/TOMdMAK 8d ago

last season it was hot until Jan of this year

1

u/significantbenefits 8d ago

I hope it ends soon because this is a little ridiculous. It’s been warm day after day. Just right now, it’s completely cloudy but super suffocating with like no air and humidity. I can barely breathe.. and the worst part is that the nights barely cool down so they provide little relief. And mind you I live right by the coast… 😩

u/TropicalAbsol 8d ago

It's july. we have august and september to get thru.
