It's hot

Like many other places in the country, and the northern hemisphere, it has been HOT here. From the Pasadena Star-News:

[Yesterday] Pasadena had a record high of 109 degrees, 11 degrees more than the previous high set in 1988, said Dave Bruno, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

"We've been well above normal since the middle of June," he said. "Persistently, every day is several degrees above normal."

And it's not cooling down much at night, which is not usual for this part of California. Fortunately, it's predicted to cool down a little this week.
