That's not hot!
That's a typical day in a Phoenix summer =_=
Except we aren't as racist here in LA as you people are in Phoenix... maybe it's the heat that makes you people so hateful.
It's hot when you're not used to it. Or if you don't have AC which we don't where we're at.
*LOL* Spendlove, you must be in the country illegally. It's not about race, it's about obeying our laws, period.
What do you want?
A brownie button?
One sentence and instant news story.
The worst drivers in the rain solely found in Los Angeles.
Neither of which is news. One sentence though.
Please get over yourself honey that's really hot
Wow, thanks for the minimalist post with no contextualizing information. Is 112 the highest temperature ever recording anywhere on Earth? In Los Angeles? Or just the highest temp for LA on Sept. 27 of any year?
the the hottest temp in los angeles's recorded history.
the second hottest in los angeles was in june of 1990.
it's almost october and it feels like the mojave desert out here.
113 degrees is the highest temperature EVER recorded in downtown LA. It breaks the record set in June, 1990 of 112 degrees.
Are we clear, now?
I'm in the Mojave, and let me tell you, it's much hotter in LA than here right now. High 105.
i remember.. in India, the record high was about 125F in Rajasthan, where in summer, temp. of more than 110F is normal during day-time...
no, not anywhere in the world, but in L.A. yes.
Hottest temp i have been in was in Libya, 132.8 degrees fahrenheit.
Yea, the wife picked that trip as vacation, i'll tell you that was once and never again.
That's got to be the high for that date. I remember it hitting 115 in late June back in the early '90's, but that was for the San Fernano Valley, if it's for downtown LA, which tends to be cooler from the ocean air, it could be the all time record. You are right. it's really lousy reporting.
This article talks about Los Angeles temperatures.
So the previous all-time high temp quoted is in ***drum-roll*** Los Angeles!
And since it's "all-time" it means ***drum roll again*** EVER!
It's Lindsay Lohans fault...........................
The hottest temperature every recorded was on September 13, 1922, in El Azizia, Libya, at 136 degrees Fahrenheit. El Azizia is near the Sahara Desert.
The 2nd hottest was recorded in Death Valley, California, in 1913, at 134 degrees Fahrenheit.
The linked story says the 113 degrees was recorded in downtown Los Angeles. It was a record for there, that particular spot, not the entire planet. It routinely gets considerably hotter than that in places such as the Middle East.
THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING ;(
2 more years
You totally missed the end of the world. It was a few weeks ago. Didn't you get an invitation from the naked indian in the desert?
How so? Because its hot? That doesnt make any sense at all, or did you read that somewhere?
Cities breaking their calandar day temperature records are common and mostly covered by local media. Whereas when a temperatuire that has never been recorded is reached, nationwide media coverage ensues.

The 113°F temperature is the highest in LA since 1877.
wow. kinda dark aren't we?
Oh don't worry. These record high temperature years are in no way connected to the millions of tons of greenhouse gases us humans put into our thin, delicate atmosphere.
Global warming is a hoax, right?
Boy, how things have changed. When I was a kid, we just called a really hot day...a really hot day. Maybe even a hot spell! Now, it is rock solid evidence of global warming. Thank goodness Al Gore set all of us ignorant masses straight, otherwise we might have just thought that the earth's temperatures vary up and down in a cyclical manner, like they have from the beginning of time...
I think it's fair that when people take the cold snap in New England recently as fact that global warming doesn't exist, that I can do the same with this heat wave.
The melting ice caps and hottest year on record should be ignored. For sure, there is some weird Liberal agenda behind it, right? What do those intellectual elites have up their sleeves trying to scare us with all their scientific stuff.
"objectiveguy" - what an ironic screen name, given your position! - take a look here to see a rebuttal to your nonsense.

There are 12 MILLION people in the greater LA area, 99% of them are NOT what you claim they are, it is the countries 2nd largest economy, and one of the worlds most diverse and culturally advanced cities. I'm sorry your little po-dunk town in Arkansas isn't as globally relevant, but you don't have to be so bitter. Also, the Mariana Trench is over near Guam... open a book, learn how to type and get over yourself. What are you, 13?
I'm one of the lucky ones in Los Angeles today. It was 112 here at 2PM, and I made the mistake of taking to dogs to the park and started getting dizzy real fast. Thank you ice water...
More like global cooling, Nick. Definitely a hoax.

Since you don't live here, you should look into your own backyard for garbage...I'm sure there's lots!
Perfect beach weather! Break out the Sangria!
Hot – yes it is! Try driving 80 mins home with no air – 120+ in the car. Home (also no air) will be over 100 and the dogs tongue will be stuck to the floor ...
Ohh, I feel for you. I'm sorry. I don't have AC in the car or home either. Good luck trying to stay cool.
Hmm, sounds like someone has already spent a little too much time in the sun... (Dude, if your head is wax, don't walk in the sun!)
It feels like our months are off... This is end-of-August weather. End of the world? I doubt it. But we're definitely ready for the next big shaker.
