The stars could not have picked a better time to show their support for climate action because the temperature in Los Angeles on Sunday reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit—making it the hottest Emmy’s ever. As celebrities used fans to cool themselves off, they just could not get over how hot is was. “I’m too hot to talk,” Ricky Gervais told Ryan Seacrest via New York Daily News. “I got out the car and it was like stepping into an oven.”
The poor luvvies!
Apparently nobody has told them that it often gets hot in Los Angeles at this time of year.
Pasadena, the nearest USHCN station, is in Los Angeles County, just a few miles outside the city, and has experienced 100F+ temperatures many times in September.
Indeed, on the same day in 1939, the 20th, temperatures reached an astonishing 107F in Pasadena, in the middle of a run of seven consecutive days over 100F. I doubt whether Humphrey Bogart whinged about it then!!

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
I wonder how many walked or cycled to the mutual back-slapping beano?
There is a very slack flow over that area of the States currently. This, together with bullet-hard dry ground, will only intensify heat. And they’re already well into the heatwave. Context needed
It’s amazing how you can pull out these temp charts so quickly – how do you do it?
Ah yeah, but in the years of Humphry Bogart men were men (and women too)..,
And Boggy was a real actor, unlike the common ilk in tinsel town.
On September 7, 1881, it reached 108.5 degrees at the Naval Observatory in Washington, DC. That is three degrees hotter than ever recorded at a DC area weather station during any month of the year. During that same heatwave, a catastrophic forest fire in Michigan burned 2.5 million acres and killed approximately 300 people.
Where did these delicate flowers grow up? Spend a few summers in Washington, DC. Talk about “stepping into an oven”…in the 1970’s I did that many times when leaving the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum at lunchtime. It was not only the heat, but the oppressive humidity there. The temperature even reached 100 F. here in WV this summer. It is not every summer, but also not uncommon. Similarly, we have winter temperatures which reach 14 F below zero on occasion. Last winter we had a more unusual several days in a row below zero. We used to just call this “weather.”
You guys will never get it: in climate science, we don’t need no stinkin facts!!
Ah, Paul, it brings me back! I used to live just outside of Pasadena, California; and I can assure you, there were plenty of hot Septembers. A hot day in September in LA proves precisely nothing.
gregole–True Angelinos know that September brings the hottest temps. The USHCN graphic above demonstrates that with the “hump cluster” of highest temps in September.
