California is currently baking under an intense heat wave. Los Angeles is currently just under 100° (yes, they really are at 98° currently :eek:

); and here it is almost 90°. These hot and dry conditions are fueling brush fires, as can be evidenced by the FURLUVCATS IN DANGER?? topic in the OT forum. It was in the mid 80s here yesterday as well, which is 15 or so degrees above normal for this time of year. Records for yesterday include:

Relief is on the way..they say. Stay 8-)

Joshua and all you other westerners :wink:

Yup...just last week we were sitting pretty warm. I believe we hit a peak of 87°F during the week. Pretty warm for mid April! :o

Stay cool and drink lots of water!

Wow that is HOT for any month and it's only April! Hope it cools down some soon. Hottest it has gotten here is around 85. High today was 78 warm degrees.

Hi Kristi...good to hear from you. It was 98 here in Scottsdale today, too, so temps are on the upswing in the Southwest!
