WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Mark68]

91 right now in Denver, heading for a high of 94.

 

I guess now's a good time to have a cold.

[gotbeer]

Thank goodness high is only 87 by me.

 

High of 80 for me in LA.  With a nice cool breeze.

I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow to buy a 37  year old Fiat without air conditioning and drive it back home in 111 degree heat. Possibly the dumbest thing I've tried in years.

What are you buying?

I would just drive home naked

Take lot's of cold water in an ice chest. You'll need it.

 

Are you sure it's road worthy for the trip? Have you considered towing it?

[nate]

It is a 37 year old Fiat. Of course it isn't road worthy

[Redondo]

A 3 year old Fiat isn't road worthy to me, but may be to someone else. 37 year old would be really shaky. We are talking a 1978

 

Sure seems like a bad time of the year for him to try this. I would do it early in the morning. Go up Saturday and leave at like 4 am Sunday

hoping he had the sense to drive at night when it's 81 instead of 111 degrees.

That's assuming the Fiat has functional headlights, which is a lot to assume.

True.

 

I had a buddy in college who was a Fiat guy.  The engines were always solid but nothing electrical worked.

[Don]

It just never stops raining here. Sure, it gets to 95 during the day, but as soon as the sun goes down it gets ugly.

[Redondo]

Must not be here yet since we haven't heard from him. We warned him.....

[Angel Oracle]

Latest El Nino forecast says 90% chance of one forming for autumn/winter.

Finally the rain we need, by November?

[fan_since79]

It was raining in Lakewood early this afternoon.

[Tank]

we got sprinkles in loma linda this afternoon. 

[Hollyw00d]

Yeah but how was the weather? We don't need to know about your cupcake habit

mmm, cupcakes . . .

The heat wave in the Northwest is historic, but you can't blame it on global warming. Some of the all-time record temps in Washington and Oregon were set in years such as 1898, 1912, and 1928. Those records may or may not be broken this time around.

 

Extremely hot weather in the summer is not new and not necessarily related to "climate change", whatever that really is.
