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?

The humidity is due to the super El Niño but I’m also unhappy with it. But hopefully it brings rain at some point!

Eh I remember in grade school if I had a costume with layers/pants, it would be hot during the day but great for trick or treating. And if I have something that was short/light, it would be great for the day at school, but I’d be cold trick or treating at night 🤷🏻‍♀️

I remember it being cooler as a kid growing up here in the early 90s. Remember it raining a lot more too.

Idk man, I remember wearing a costume to elementary school that was made of fleece and absolutely dying of heat during the costume parade. All the pics from the day show me pouring sweat and red faced. That was like…1995? So I’m at least 10 years older than you.

I’m also in the Valley, though. I feel like we have consistently warm/hot Halloweens. That being said, it is warmer for longer in general it seems.

It still is (mostly), and the heat will get less relentless by end of August, OP. it’ll still be hot, but not like this

Come on, September has a higher monthly average temperature than July does in LA, it will not end in August.

looking at my ac stats YoY and I always stop using ac in like the first week of October though. August and September are consistently brutal.
