Los Angelinos seek relief from sizzle!
To call it a sizzler would be putting it mildly.
A scorcher?
You betcha!
At high noon today, the mercury bubbled up to a staggering 113 degrees in thermometers all around the City of Angels.
Needless to say, the locals headed for cover.
But, even in the shade of the spreading arms of a stately old oak tree, folks tended to sweat profusely.
Consequently, local news anchors issued dire health warnings and tips on how to stay hydrated.
Also, firefighters remained on alert in high-risk areas around the Los Angeles.
According to weather specialists at the National Weather Service, the previous record high was set on June 26th in 1990.
Trivia buffs may be interested to learn that record-keeping first started-up way back in 1877.
